Past tense of cum?

[PurrfectMoon]

It is came? or cummed? Example:

"I will not stop until you have came for me. "

...or would it be cummed for me?

I think its cummed, but that doesn't sound right.. or I am very tired.

 

[sr71plt]

neither in this instance.

"I will not stop until you have come for me."

Although I don't think there's an authoritative ruling, generally, "cum" is used for the noun (the substance), and the verb is the various forms of "come." Come (present), came (past), will come (future), have come (present perfect), will have come (future perfect), had come (past perfect).

Some, though, do use "cum" for the verb. If you choose this route, it would be cum (present), cummed (past--something I don't think I've ever seen), will cum (future), have cum (present perfect), will have cum (future perfect), had cum (past perfect).

Whichever you choose, it should be consistent across your story.

Ah ok! Thanks very much for the answer. That helps a lot.

I don't know of many resources for getting information on the grammatical use of sex words. Lol

There are sex dictionaries on-line. There doesn't seem to be a consensus on the rendering of cum/come, however. I imagine that "cum" will eventually win out for the sex definition--to differentiate it from the other meanings of "come."

The present participle "cumming" is also frequently used.

You might try looking at the submission guidelines for publishers. I believe I was looking Excessica, and their rule was that the verb is "come" and the noun is "cum," as sr71 detailed above. So the past tense would be came, the participle would be coming, etc.

I don't know the answer, but I "came" yesterday twice. No, wait, it was two days ago

Nah, yesterday you went.

Come (present), came (past), will come (future), have come (present perfect), will have come (future perfect), had come (past perfect). ...

Surely the past participle "cummed" would be used in the past tenses, such as the perfect (I have cummed for him cf I have worked for him)and the pluperfect (I had cummed the week before cf I had worked the week before)?

If we are inventing a new verb, at least let it not be irregular.

When it "comes" to things like this (pun intended) sometimes rather than look up official rules simply read it out loud. How would people say it.

I "came" yesterday.

I get off work at two and if I'm lucky I'll be cumming by two thirty.

Oh yes! Just like that! I'm going to cum!

So it's not so much a rule as speech pattern. Just like slang vs proper English. Spell check will always pick up "I gotta go." and want you to change it, but in reality it is how some people speak.

This is not necessarily the final word, but this is from Excessica's submission guidelines:

20. The word “come,” in erotic fiction, is used as a verb, as in, “Oh, I’m coming!” and the word “cum” should be used as a noun, as in, “She swallowed his cum.”

This is the guide I use; keeps things simple, anyway.

Now see if they used words like that I might have paid attention in English class. Especially because I had the hots for Mrs. Shea my 10th grade english teacher if she ever started conjugating the word "Cum" I would have "came" then and there.

Well yes but the point is that "cum" is the noun and hence doesn't get conjugated. So you would have "come" then and there, had she started conjugating "come" with its alternate meaning.

I couldn't remember this when I replied previously.

There was a young man from Kent
whose tool was exceedingly bent
He put it in double
to save himself trouble
and instead of cumming, he went.

Sorry to be Quibbling

when everyone else is either coming or cumming, but I go with the old rule. "Cum" is what you dribble or squirt when you "come". But I agree, reluctantly and for once, with sr71plt--with time and usage, "cum" will morph into the verb as well as the noun, the difference being determined by context.

 

[curvybritlady]

Well, I'd stay well clear of using 'cum' instead of come, but I'm a picky bastard about that.

I'd use 'they came' for the past tense, but what I like about language is you can make it work for you instead of tying yourself in knots to follow language rules. Whatever you pick, just be consistent with yourself.

To quote a New York taxi driver (according to Alistair Cooke)

There ain't no noun that cain't be voibed.

never mind... humourless people are bores.

 

[sr71plt]

You are a sick man.

conjugate that. lol

Excuse me? Apparently you haven't absorbed the discussion very well.

But you get points for rude.

Short history of orgasms in literature.

The word "crisis" was once a genteel word for orgasm. "Her crisis came upon her quickly," or "She came to crisis," or "Her skilled fingers and tongue helped him come to crisis."

Eventually "crisis" was dropped, but "come" and "came" were still used. Some unknown porn slinger coined the word "cum", probably because it looked better when she screamed, "I'm cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmminggggggggggggg."

This still leaves the question of the past tense. How does one define proper grammar for improper words?

I'll go with come, came, cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmminggggggggggggg
