Orgasms

[CharleyH]

It seems to me, or at least I have noticed it, that many writers write about the moment of male ejaculation as something exceedingly powerful. They BLOW, they SHOOT, they SCORE! or ERUPT as the case may be.

Rarely have I ever heard of the same 'power' verbs applied to the female orgasm.

1. How do authors typically distinguish the male from female orgasm in their writing,ie. how do you write it?

2. Aside from the recent public talk of female ejaculations, is a woman's orgasm always relegated to passive verbs for description, and males to active verbs?

Give an example of what you consider "passive" verbs describing a female orgasm.

I tend to write female orgasms more than male, simply cause I like them more (in RL as well as fiction). All of my descriptions of female orgasms have been feeligns of release of feeling yourself teetering on the precipice, before falling, collapsing into wave after wave that lift oyu up and carry you.

So I guess that's kinda passive verbs, as the orgasm happens to the woman. However, I take a similar 'passive' approach to a male's. In my experience, an orgasm is something that is uncontrollable past a certain point and is something that takes you away from yourself. It's not something to be controlled.

I dunno ... this just doesn't seem "passive" to me:

The point – that delicious point of no return – was passed. I fell toward the sun, burning. Gasping as my hands were pulled from my depths, I felt a hot tongue cleaning my fingers of their juices and then immediately seeking more from the source. Probing hungrily, far deeper than any human tongue could possibly reach, and far more agile than any cock, my walls were painted with fire. Red. Hot. Fire.

I was consumed by the blazing intensity of their attentions, lost in their raging tongues of flame. My skin, my cries, my utter surrender drove them to new heights. They held me as I fell, then flew, then fell – catching the currents and rising again. Each wave a new crescendo, until my body spasmed uncontrollably, becoming ultra sensitive to any touch. And still they drove on, oblivious to my gasps as I quaked again and again with the after shocks, begging for mercy. It was too much, too intense.

Then, much to my surprise, I again found myself flying. A threshold had been passed. The pounding intensity of my orgasm was replaced by an infusion of pure bliss, radiating outward from the center of my pleasure. A pervasive sense of well-being invaded my psyche, and the deepest satisfaction blanketed me as I crested again and again and again. Only then did they retreat.

A Matter Of Perspective

First off, I have read some of your posts and stories, you are a very talented writer.

Finally, it is apparent to anyone that watches a male orgasm, that the results of producing ejaculate appears to be pretty explosive. (Some men are more explosive then others). The author will write that for visualization only.

As far as the female orgasm is concerened, it can be more intense then a male's; however, it is totally internal and can't be seen. I don't think the authors are writing about the quality of the orgasm in their stories. They are more writing for visualization.

Long love male and female orgasms!

Perhaps we don't use verbs when describing female orgasms? Because basically I'd have answered as Earl did. I describe female orgasms with description but barely (though not never) describe it with the same thrust of immediacy as I would describe a male orgasm for example.

Do you use verbs other than cumming to describe your female characters orgasm?

I am simply questioning our styles, and the ways in which we write of (gender oriented) orgasms ... since this has been a topic of late.

Ok, but it is watery and dream-like, nice and soft, in essence passive. I get what he is saying. Do you write of the female orgasm as something, lets say ... more animalistic and agressive?

 

[silverwhisper]

i tend to use metaphors for the female orgasm: tsunami, symphony, etc. but perhaps that's just me?

Thanks for your POV G, always welcome whether we are all in agreement or not. Also Welcome to the board.

I see that many authors tend to use water and music analogy or metaphor for female orgasms ... interesting. Tsunami, even the sound as it slips from the tongue is watery and lulling ... not as forceful and destructive as mother nature when reading, but very wet, indeed. What analogiesmetaphors do you associate with male ejaculation?

Hmmm ... perhaps not the orgasm itself, but the act leading up to it. Because female orgasms (other than squirters) can seldom be SEEN in terms of ejaculation, different descriptors are necessary. There can be pulling of hair and gnashing of teeth and thrashing of limbs (a la the epileptic octopus *grin*) ... but those are just ancillary to the orgasm rather than the orgasm itself.

Now, if you get really, really close to a clit ... as you, no doubt, know ... you can SEE it pulse in orgasm (assuming the woman can lie still enough), but that's hardly compelling to write about.

In descirbing female orgasms, I can only relate what I've oberved and everything seems to be wave like in the rhythmic clenching of thighs, abdomen, pusyy or the flush the washed across the chest, so the water born analogies seem appropriate.

Male orgasms seem to be more cataclysmic - like lightening bolts, volcanoes, geysers, bursting steam pipes. Although hyperbole, this is reasonably accurate to the feeling of my cum pumping during climax and the uncontrollable, tremendous associated rush.

And yet ... having seen a few male orgasms also ... not all are so, and certainly women do not feel it as such, which of course, could come back to who we are actually writing for. lol

A man comes together in his orgasm. A woman comes apart.

My ladies throb, pulse, crest, explode, implode, quiver, tremble, and scream in triumph.

Ahem. Then they take a deep breath and go for it again.

A man comes together in his orgasm. A woman comes apart.

And a teenager comes all over the bedclothes.

how do they explode exactly? Implosion sounds painful. Yes women do, but do you feel their cum splattering and whipping across your lips?

EDIT: Maybe women write more realistically than men?
