Seriously, I need more terminology.

I hunted around in the thread archives for a thread that might address this, but I admit to not being very good at that. Here's the problem: Balls.

Balls aren't the only problem. Cocks and pussies are a problem as well. That is, when trying to write an erotic story, and be good and literate about it, one runs into questions of terminology. I need to write scenes in which very sexy things are being done to assorted parts of assorted bodies, and while I've got quite a few good ways to express "penis", "vagina" and so on, balls (of which I'm very fond, and about which I'd like to write) have no real "erotic" names of which I'm aware. There's scrotum, which is okay but kinda silly and not particularly erotic, and there's sack, and testicles, and so on, but mostly I'm stumped. I find few of those terms even vaguely sexy.

Let us (she said, loving to be able to write sentences like this,) not focus exclusively on the balls, however. I hope this thread can become a little thesaurus-like resource for those of us who, for the umpteenth time, need to say things like "her pussy was moist underneath her red miniskirt" or "She loved how his testicles tightened and rose as he became more and more aroused" or whatever, and who'd like a little more variety in the words available to us.

Thank you all in advance for your help. I hope to reward you with sexier poetry and fiction in the future.

Basic terminology I see/often use:

Penis:

Cock
Prick
Shaft
Phallus
Staff
Length
Hardness
Firmness

Balls:

Sacs (or sacks)
Nuts
Pouches

More crudely: Baby factories, jam bags

Vagina:

Pussy
Cunt
Snatch
Slice
Sex
Venus Mound
Cave
Hole
Tunnel (of love)

Granted, more than a few of these metaphors are comical and ridiculous, but they sometimes work (especially if you write in the Humor and Satire cat).
 
I sometimes use gorge and cleft for vagina.

Don't often describe the male anatomy so I can't advise you on synonyms for that.
 
Some options of what not to say.

Here's our resident ducky's list of words that are not so wonderful...
(And so enthralling it is. Perhaps it will zap your brain into a creative tidal wave of good. That, or else you'll just be mentally processing dirty, porny trash for a really long time. :D)

"AXE WOUND?"

:eek:
 
See, there's the problem. I have plenty of terminology that is NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT erotic. And that's generally where these discussions end up. But I don't want to leave testicles entirely out of all my more "sensitive" pieces (again may I just interrupt myself to say that I fucking love writing sentences like that) so I need SOMETHING just a bit more... romantic? erotic?

The situation is urgent. I'm in the middle of doing something very nice for this character's

BALLS

and I have no good way to tell him about it.

You left out breasts. Are you prejudiced against breasts? (Personally, I and my friends refer to them as "the girls."
 
Furry pouches?

'nads?

Round mounds of joy? No, wait - that describes tits.

Never mind.

Hey, wait a second, you're the one who left out breasts. What about breasts? I think they should be included.

Okay . . . .

She slowly made her way down his body, nipping and licking at little spots here and there. She fluttered the swollen yet still prone shaft with her lipps, watching it stir as it began to lengthen, but instead of focusing her attentiosn there, she searched further south, her lips delving through the soft nest surrounding the swollen, distended testicles.

The fleshy sacs felt heavy against her lips, like balloons ready to burst. Her tongue snaked out to lave the musky orbs with loving caresses, feeling the firm pebbles within shift back and forth. She breathed in deeply through her nose, inhaling him as she sucked one of the fleshy, warm eggs into her mouth.

How's that work?

Breasts should ALWAYS be included. But there's like 4 million names for them and i know how very distracting they can be when one is trying to focus on something specific. They're not my particular problem at the moment, but by all means, let's include them. What would a naughty bits terminology thread be without the twin scoops of delicious flesh that grace the divine banana split that is the female body?

Oh come on. Don't tell me those two, ahem, lovely words don't, er, get you in the mood.

I have to say that mentioning "sac" and its permutations is kind of...oogy for me. And I'm not entirely sure about what this thread is doing to my feelings for low-slung man-bits.

Actually, now that I think about it, I kind of feel like this has turned from talk of balls to the description, care, and feeding of sugar gliders:

I will not inflict the list in the link on this website again - you can see for yourself :rolleyes: : http://forum.literotica.com/showpost.php?p=23143643&postcount=59893

(It came from R.Richard originally, I think - don't blame me. ;) )

Thanks Roxanne. I asked for the same thing awhile back and got some great replies here:

eta: I forgot to mention that the reason for my asking is that I wanted to name a lot of characters after the naughty bits in my most recent story. :rolleyes:

How's that work?

workin' great. i'm typing with one hand already.

oh, you mean the terms themselves. Excellent so far. I like "musky orbs" particularly. Perhaps it's also a question of the right adjective. Sacs, in and of itself, may not be all that appealing. But warm, musky sacs, or tender, furry sacs, or I dunno, fascinating, earth-scented sacs...

Scuse me. Back in five minutes. Must make a quick call on the pink telephone.

Which reminds me, how bout that? Terminology for masturbation, especially female? I mean, guys have several million ways to say spank the monkey, but women have comparatively few. Thoughts?

nice scene, by the way.
