Can you make up new names for testicles, penis, vulva and clitoris?

[AG31]

The problem with biological names is that they're biological names, although I'm OK with "vagina." The common names don't quite work for me. Here's my stab at it. Add vagina if you wish.

vulva - valere (pronounced va-ler')
clitoris - blen
penis - rask
testicles - velts

I want readers to understand what they're reading, so I don't make up new words.

Fat balls, bird feeder, fountain, hidden key.

 

[AlinaX]

e.g.,
Caressing the netting that captured his fat balls so enticingly, and sneering at the hungry tits nibbling at his bird feeder, she invited him to drink from her fountain - which he did, all the while searching for her hidden key.

 

[SimonDoom]

I don't understand your goal in making up new words. People don't understand them. Perhaps it might work in a science fiction/fantasy setting, but not in a story in a contemporary, ordinary setting.

 

[SimonDoom]

We've had these conversations with respect to most of these words before, but not, to my recollection, about testicles. I'd probably call them, in declining order of likelihood, "balls," "nuts," or, in the right case, "my boys." I might also use "testicles" in some situations.

Ive heard a womans clit referred to in a porno one time as princess. The scene was this Arabian woman and she spread her legs wide. The guy acted like he didnt know what to do. She stated…”why dont you kiss the princess in the temple”.

 

[AlinaX]

"Why do men have two nuts?" she asked.
"Well," he said. "It's like this. Men used to have one nut until the metric system came along, and they figured the best way to keep sex nice and interoperable was to have two nuts. One's metric, in case you're screwing Europeans, and the other's Imperial."

I remember the Kushiel's Chosen series reallly trying hard to skirt around using modern terms while still being very explicit. Think she was more into renaming sex acts than body parts, though.

I'm partial to, 'the little man in the boat,' mostly because the gendering is silly--buy it just doesn't seem to work the other way around.

If you start renaming the clitoris, you're only making it even harder for guys to find..

 

[Bamagan]

But if you rename it 'bacon' or 'beer' they might try harder.

vulva - valere (pronounced va-ler')
clitoris - blen
penis - rask
testicles - velts

Written in the right context, it isn't hard to convey the meaning of a word. I often use "love button" instead of clit, and in historical stories, a penis is "manhood".

Just please, please, please stay away from words like these. I have read them in stories here.

rock-hard throbbing manmeat
dripping grotto of lust

Negative. I will keep impaling dripping wet love canals upon iron-hard meatpoles and there is nothing you can do about it

One benefit of futa porn.

vulva - valere (pronounced va-ler')
clitoris - blen
penis - rask
testicles - velts

Please don't take this the wrong way but your substitutions all sound like product names at IKEA to me.

I personally don't have an issue using "penis" or "vulva", I think those are short and sweet enought to get the point across and let me vary up my word choices when I'm describing a sex scene. "Clitoris" is easily shortened to "clit" and there are a variety of pre-existing euphemisms for it. I don't often describe testicles but when I have to refer to them, "balls" is usually sufficient though I will more likely focus on the sack itself since that is actually what is being manipulated during sex.

I'm not suggesting we really use them. It's just a game sort of thing.

Just some fun.

One of the many humiliations my broken but religious parents raised me with was that I didn’t learn about reproductive anatomy or the real names of many body parts until I learned them from friends in school, and a lot of that didn’t get untangled until health class.

I honestly thought a penis was a “pee-nut” until I saw it in a textbook. Why not? You have two nuts and your pee-nut right there.


I had an older sister but all I knew about girls was that they had wombs and pee-holes.



You can call body parts anything you like if you take the time to establish it somehow. It seems something like a family quirk or the result of some isolated social situation.

 

[AG31]

Of course there's John Thomas. I'd be interested to know how many here don't recognize that reference.

How are you going to make this make sense for the reader?

Even more important, is there a reason in the story universe why conventional English language words aren’t used by the characters or by the narrator?

If this were done in a regular old contemporary setting on Earth, with no in-universe reason given or no lampshading at the very least (no acknowledgement that this doesn’t match the in-universe conventions of other people besides the characters or narrator), then suspension of disbelief would be just about impossible.

Even if there is an in-universe reason, like it’s not our world, it’s a made-up language, it’s a cult, the characters are totally ignorant of the words for these things because of whatever reason and so made up their own, even with any of these in-universe reasons or whatever others the story might have, it’s still clunky and hard to succeed with such a contrivance.

I was thinking of a setting and situation like the Eloi and the Morlocks.

 

[WCSGarland]

This all reminds me of the time I heard somebody call female breasts chesticles.

 

[JGittes]

So you were that kid in school who took it literally when the English teacher said, "Now, class, I want you to write a 500-word story using your own words."
