Should I write "come" or "cum"?

[JohnSm123]

When I want to use a verb that means "have an orgasm", should I use come or cum?

E.g. I tried my best not to come/cum before her.

In my understanding, "cum" is the male ejaculate (semen). "Come" is the actual event.

I feel myself beginning to loose control — but I don't want to "come" before she does.

When we finally reach that point of no return, I hold out as long as I can until I can't wait — I feel the waves of pleasure tingle as I finally have no choice but to empty my cum into her body. Almost immediately, I feel the satisfaction of a job well done as she comes and lets out a satisfied cry of pleasure.

It's your god damn story.

Write it any way you fucking want.

Isn't "come" confusing, though?

There's no authoritative decision on this yet. Best you can do is chose what you think is best and stick with it throughout the story. That said, the erotica publishers I know of universally use "cum" as the noun and "come" as the verb.

I would probably use the word; she orgasmed and squeezed me tight as she finally reached the pinnacle of pleasure. (or some such ) But that wasn't the question.

We just had this discussion a few days ago in another thread.

Context will always clarify.

Some writers always write cum, others always write come. There's no right or wrong, it's your call as a writer.

Personally I feel it’s the amount of eroticism you want to instill in your story. I refer to my breasts to my doctor, my boobs to my mother or friends, and my tits to my lover.

Come is a verb meaning to arrive; she’s coming means she is on her way to my location. She’s cumming means she’s having an orgasm with or without the fluid. Cum is slang for the male (typically) or female fluid or ejaculate. Came is past tense.

Again, how erotic do you want your story?

“I’m coming,” she moaned with a sigh.

Or

“I’m cumming,” she moaned with a sigh.

On the other thread, someone said, "I always use cum when I write." Mary the WollstonecarftWoman responded, "White cum on white paper, doesn't that make it hard to read." I loved that response from her.

This is the most accurate so far.

What i wanna know is if you didnt come,
And i didnt cum,
Then who came?

 

[SimonDoom]

Isn't "come" confusing, though?

No, not in context. I've never once found it to be confusing in actual use in a story. The context makes it clear.

There are several other threads on this subject. One of them was within the last couple of months.

I use "come" as the verb and "cum" as the noun. I can't abide the past tense version "cummed."

There's no right way to do it.

If she's capable of speech, moaning and sighing all at the same time, I'd lay good money that she's faking coming. Or cumming.

 

[KeithD]

Yes, and for that reason I think we are headed for "cumming" to become the verb for the sexual meaning--to distinguish it. We aren't fully there yet, though.

 

[BusDee276]

Say 'arrive or arriving' instead!

 

[Winter_Fare]

Come... Cum... It's just semantics.

 

[alohadave]

Say 'arrive or arriving' instead!

An immigrant has sex and gets confused with terminology.

This thread is making me think of the man from Kent.

That's the way I've always written it, and no one has ever complained about it. As for the second line, isn't that when the guy is supposed to think about baseball? That's one of those tropes that may have never been done, but it seems amusing anyway. "Put me in, coach, I'm ready to play today. Look at me, I can be center field."

I'm with SimonDoom on this one - the past tense pushes us towards 'come' as the verb: he came or he cummed? That is the question.

He came makes you sound literate; he cummed, illiterate. Take your pick.

 

[Jodaily]

Definitely cum. Cumming, cums. Definitely not cummed! I came, he came, he is cumming, he cums a lot

 

[KeithD]

Definitely cum. Cumming, cums. Definitely not cummed! I came, he came, he is cumming, he cums a lot

Just personal opinion or do you have an authoritative literary source giving that rendering?
