Sexy alternatives for the word pussy?

[JT_Stone]

OK, so I can't seem to get away from this word in my stories because I think it's the sexiest and most socially acceptable word for, well, pussies. But I hate to overuse words, especially repeating words in the same paragraph. I've used "her sex" before but that almost sounds like saying "down there."

However words like twat, cunt, vagina, etc. don't seem to work in most cases. Any suggested alternatives?

While we're at it how about alternatives for cock? Dick seems sorta silly and I couldn't use words like sausage, love muscle, trouser trout, skin bus, or meatsicle with a straight face. Cock, rod, and staff are the only ones that seem to work in my book.

Writers, please help. Flamers, please go back to the GB.

Let the character determine that.

Any person has their own personal favorite. It sounds and feels natural to them. There is no need to invent new terms or alternate a standard list. Just don't over use it.

 

[Stella_Omega]

I say pussy or cunt, rarely vagina.
Lips, labia, clit, bump, gspot, hotspot...
Cock or dick, rarely penis. For a while I was writing Age of Sail and the word was 'yard.'
Balls, testicles, bollocks...

All suggestions Stella gave were good. I usually don't stray much from pussy. I occasionally use "channel" or "cave" and I have seen "cunt" or "cunny" used. I normally don't like the word "cunt" when used as a derrogatory term and I don't think I've ever used it in my writing.

For penis, yeah, cock is usually used most frequently. Shaft, rod, staff, member are also used frequently.

I tend to shy away from stories that use terms you've stated above, and I've seen silly terms used for pussy too. I stifle a giggle and refrain from commenting when I edit stories using those terms. I figure if the author wants to use them, he or she is obviously free to do so.

I will, however, comment on those types of terms used if the tone of the story doesn't match the term or if, as bronzeage stated, the terms are over used.

Use whatever you feel comfortable with. Change it up a bit, but don't get to cheesy about it.

In my story of Wizards and Amazons, I tried to use the term "bunny", because pussy teeth are pointed and Cletus, my MC, didn't think sharp teeth and his tender cock should share the same space.

It was better if Aurora asked him to lick her bunny, than her sharp toothed carnivore.

 

[JT_Stone]

That does it. I'm just always going to say he put is ding dong in her twinkie.

Seriously though, thanks for the feedback. I see that there is a relatively small group of nouns that work and as long as I mix them up a bit I hope I don't get too many complaints.

Credit where credit is due

Hey michchick, thanks again for your editing. I've used your advice a lot on the story I'm working on now.

Also CopperSkink basically gave me a B.A. in creative writing when he edited some of my stuff. Thank you!

Creamy slit or cunny. I used to hate the word cunt...but one day I decided to take it BACK from deragatory land and use it ...and I liked the way it sounded; so raw and sexy...

 

[Zeb_Carter]

Depends on the character as Bronze said and all those alternatives that Stella mentioned are okay.

For penis I have used the following: Cock, dick (not often), shaft, manhood (corny I know), hardness...well you get the drift.

For Vagina: Vagina (depends on the character though), pussy, cunt (on rare occasions), vulva, labia, wet opening, soft petals, soft moist petals, etc.

I too have an aversion to cunt, but found one of my character wanted to use that word, so it slipped into the story.

 

[ReticentMan]

There are plenty of euphemisms your could use, depends in what context you want to use them. Are you writing a love scene or a sex scene?

For sex scenes the usual descriptions would be the way to go IMO to give the scenes a more visceral feel (Vagina, cunny, Sex, pussy etc).

If it's a love scene its probably appropriate to use more poetic descriptions to set the scene (Flower of her womanhood, Molten Liquid Core, Womanly Essence as a few examples).

I don't like to stray too far from pussy.

You know, it's kind of like "Said." Out of all those million words that denote conversation, "said" is pretty much invisible and gets the job done.

You do not need a hundred euphemisms for genitalia. They are not the real focus-- the feelings they engender, that's what's important.

If it's a love scene its probably appropriate to use more poetic descriptions to set the scene (Flower of her womanhood, Molten Liquid Core, Womanly Essence as a few examples).

I find all three examples to be... comedic. Sorry.

A wise man.

I read a stroker paperback once that made reference to "taking the skin boat to tuna town" which amused me no end. Now those are what I call inventive metaphors...or bad taste. Your call.

 

[JT_Stone]

Skin bus

I read that line too, I think i was in National Lampoon and written by P.J. O'Rourke. That guy wrote some incredibly funny articles for that magazine in the '80's. His current stuff is all very clever political writing but very conservative. Kinda the arc-Al Franken.

 

[harding]

Maybe I was wrong

I've just finished a story set 70 years in the past and the main female character used the word cunny throughout.

Until I proofed it and search and replaced it with pussy, because I was worried that's the word people are used to and didn't want anything to break the flow of reading.

I've submitted now, but it's not too late to change.

I keep wondering if I should change it back. The female is innocent, it was a long time ago, would she really call it her pussy? She might not even have called it her cunny, but you gotta call it something.

Yeah, I did mean to say that.

what category? cunny seems a better choice when trying to make the reader think of old timey doe eyed girls

 

[Stella_Omega]

The 1940s are not all that old-timey...

I have to agree with Stella. Phrases like those in the second example make me think the author is trying too hard to come up with something different. I've read many sensual, erotic love scenes with virtually no "description" of the genitalia at all, and the scene it quite effective.

I don't like to stray too far from pussy.

I bet you don't.

I read a stroker paperback once that made reference to "taking the skin boat to tuna town" which amused me no end. Now those are what I call inventive metaphors...or bad taste. Your call.

Inventive and quite humorous. Probably bad taste, too.

Damn.

I agree with you, Stella. To me, using the flowery phrases and words just makes it look like the author had a field day with poetry books and thesauruses.

You're welcome. Glad I could help.

In ancient far East, the term "Jade Gate " was quite common.

yeah...."cunny" might fit the 1490's better than the 1940's.

Maybe so...but it sounds so soft and sexy...and edible. Yum.
