Lewis and His Libido

[sirhugs]

love the alliteration, and have several variants.... Lewis and his Lost Libido; Lewis and His Lack of Libido; Lewis finds his Libido... but no plots.
ideas?

I hate to say it, but "Lewis" and "libido" don't alliterate. Alliteration depends on the stressed syllable: "li-BI-do".

Sooo, Libbie and her libido, then?

You may be referring to consonance. As far as I'm aware, alliteration refers only to the initial letters of words. Quite happy to be proved wrong.

So, Louise's luscious libido is certainly alliterative....

 

[UsuallyPresent]

Louie Bets His Libedo - D/s and cock cage
Louie Broke His Libedo - Cuck
Louie Beats His Libedo - Cuck with rough masturbation
Louie Bags Her Libedo - reversing the 'Bet' storyline, Domming her
Louie Buggering His Libedo - Anal, and nothing butt.
Louie Becomes His Libedo - Primal sex
Louie Betters His Libedo - Learning sexplay, sexercizing, etc
Louie Bakes His Libedo - Stoner sex

-edit- Out of order, but at least a stake in the sand!

Consonance is when you use the same (or similar) consonants close together. Alliteration is when the stressed syllables of different worda begin with the same letter (or sound).

I didn't spend years studying alliterative poetry without learning a thing or two!

For whatever it's worth:
Wikipedia on Alliteration - "Alliteration is the repetition of syllable-initial consonant sounds between nearby words, or of syllable-initial vowels, if the syllables in question do not start with a consonant."

Interesting. Fascinating, in fact. So kindly supply an example of alliteration where the initial letters of words are not involved. I'd love to see it in action.

Bert's libido. Arise, arise, riders of Théoden. Encircling swords. Attack the tiger. Naked in Granada.

Interesting, as I said... but decidedly not what the vast majority of we poor plebs understand by alliteration and therefore presumably a good example of how popular usage can stray from the original concept... and gain majority acceptance as the norm.

There's what the text book says... and then there's what people think and do.

Safe in that knowledge, I shall stick stubbornly and serenely to my six shooters...
