Using technical terms for genitals and etc, yay or nay?

I've been discussing the word "tits" with a female reader. She's of the opinion that it's a trashy, vulgar word, but, surprisingly, pussy and cock are just fine with her. I'm thinking she's in the minority, but I have to wonder: do many women dislike the word "tits"?

I'm well aware that it can be fine depending upon the context of how it's used/who's using it, but in general, is it a disliked word among female readers?

I worked at a company where there were two female programmers. One was totally offended by "cunt", the other could care less at the usage. They didn't get along terribly well. So the second programmer started deliberately misspelling the variable name "count" and would claim it was a typo....

Is this a plot bunny?
 
In the three decades I worked, the word "cunt" never came up in the office in my hearing. I guess this must be a loosening and coarsening generational thing.
 
I kind of wonder and really don't know, but I think all the words can be over used and the best writing uses few of them. In that context the proper medical words seem more acceptable. Other than that, I agree with Pilot.

"oozing hole" sounds like she has a disease!

Yeah I admit it wasn't my best choice. But if you look at the OP, it's actually kinda from the PoV of the male lover, so...yeah. It works.

Lol at the programmers story. That second lady sounds like me. I'd totally do that probably.

I'm female and I guess "cunt" is in the same boat as "cock" and "pussy". Overused, not serious enough. I mean unless you're writing porn with nothing else, no character development, no character at all, you'd probably want to sound serious? Idk. It's like using phrases that come straight out of porn for dialogue. Most lovers irl probably do not say things like "Fill me up, bad boy. Pound me. Harder! Harder!" There's talking dirty and then there's porn "dialogue".

"Tits" is kinda in the middle. Idk.

Not sure where to ask about this, but in many stories, the woman announces/shouts/ screams: "I'm cumming...." at the moment of her orgasm. I wonder why authors so often include that in the story. How many woman would do that? I can understand grunts, ungghhs, ahhhs, God, etc., but enunciating that she is cumming? Seems unnecessary and not likely to happen in real life. So, am I too particular or what?

I've been known to do that. It makes the guy happy to be reassured that he's getting the job done.

In fact, I've been known to scream that whether I'm cumming or not. I used to feel kind of bad about it, but now I think that if it makes the experience hotter for the guy, it's a little white lie, not felonious perjury. What's the harm?
 
Oozing hole and other similar weirdo terms?

No. Just...no.

Everything else? Use your good judgement. Cock, dick, tits, pussy, and cunt are classics. Slit is situational.

It's a thing. It happens IRL. I tell my wife I'm cumming, and/or she likes to hear me say her name when I'm cumming. Gets her off while I get off.

What I fucking hate in stories to indicate cumming is this: "auuuuuggggggghhhhhhh arrrrrrrggggggghhhhhh mmmmmmmmmmmmm"

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
 
She lay supine, her nether limbs splayed for her paramour, and, as her fecund uterus eagerly awaited insemination, she dreamed of his agile spermatozoa propelling their way through his vas deferens and seminal vesicle to ultimately distend his penile meatus in an ejaculation portending fertilization of her ripe ovum.

(or should I have posted this in the Bulwer-Lytton thread...:confused:)
 
What is off-putting for me is too many biological terms. Vagina and penis are minor offenders but when someone biologically describes a mons pubis in text, you've lost me. It just comes off as perfectly unnatural to me, especially if the speaker isn't some sort of a medical expert. Or am i alone in this?
 
I like to write smut, which means eschewing medical terms in narration. One exception to this is "labia" which I use as the plural for "lips." This is because I don't like to repeat the same words too often. "Cunt" just seems too crude, but I do refer to pussies or cocks or dicks.

In dialogue, I try to use words the speaker would say. I have one story featuring an anatomy teacher who has an 18 year old student in for some "special tutoring." At first she uses words such as penis and vulva and vagina, but when she gets more excited, she is saying things like "Stick your big cock in my pussy."

I don't refer to an "oozing hole" but I do say things like "dripping pink hole."

This is me, too. I use all kinds of terms just so I'm not repeatedly saying 'cock' or 'pussy' or whatever. I kind of like the mix, although I avoid the eye-rolling words like 'love missile.'

If however you changed it to his missile of love rocketed into her tight silo then it works well. ;)

Makes sense to me. Nobody wants a medical lecture in the middle of sexy-fun-time. But I'm not sure how many erotica readers are pedantic readers . . . I mean, an overwhelming majority of the times writers use "vagina," they are not describing what is, physiologically, the vagina; they're referring to the vulva.
 
It also depends on the detail

If you write every detail of the sex, rather than, 'He slid his cock inside me, and after a few thrusts, he came', there's no problem. I get tired of seeing the word cock or mouth three times in a paragraph. If you go for detail, you need to use a number of 'change-up' words.

I tried using some more medical terms once, and found that people don't find 'rectovaginal septum' all that sexy, as in: 'As they fucked both my holes, I could feel their cocks rubbing together, separated only by my rectovaginal septum.'

Both my boner and I would end up saying "WTF?"

Who on this site would write about sex as in your first paragraph? :eek: I like to use at least 400 words to describe each sex act, except I also want to avoid too much repetition. When I write about a DP, I like to comment on how both holes being stuffed makes them both tighter, but I know I I have ever referred to her "rectovaginal septum."

I drove my cock so deeply into her ass I could feel my pubic hair brushing against the damask insides of her cheeks, and I felt John's bigger organ surging into her pussy. Seconds later, as I was withdrawing for another stroke, I felt John cramming her pussy again.

Damask. Now there's a word you don't often see - but in this context, perfect!

That might not work for dialog, since people wouldn't change nomenclature in midstream.

"He thought my tits were too big," she said. "I mean, I always thought my boobs were fine. If he had a problem with my breasts, he should have told me." If the dialog had been more realistic, the character would probably have stayed with one term instead of three.
 
Quick question related to the topic: What other words can be used in place of clit or clitoris?

Nub, button, or maybe switch, if you're talking about quick-arousal. If the context is right, and your writing is up to the task, then you can get away with modifying the terms: "love button," "pulsing nub," "sex button," and so forth.

I like to use "succulent morsel" as in: "I took the succulent morsel into my mouth and started to suck in the same tempo as Judy was fucking back against my face." :p
