I only use words that won't make me cringe. At first, this consisted solely of pussy and cunt. I've recently added sex, because that seems to be the most widely used term in the romance novels I read.
Now, that's only if you're referring to the area as a whole. People get all kinds of creative when referring to the individual bits. I mean, the clit is an integral part of the action, but there's only so many times you can stick it into one paragraph, right? Bundle of nerves, I can read without giggling... but nubbin? Button? I don't know... depends on whether the words fit the character's personality or the tone of the story.
I'm pretty sure I use folds and opening way more than I should. And don't even get me started on terms for a woman's natural lubrication. Juices, arousal, fluids... I may have even used honey, once.
And now I'm overthinking everything, and my next sex scene is going to take forever to write. Thanks a lot.
(Also, hi!)
This was actually very helpful, thank you.
Funny you mentioned honey, it was the trouble I was having coming up with a suitable word or phrase for just that thing that prompted me to start this thread. I ended up using 'heavenly nectar' just to put something, but it really doesn't work for me.
I like 'honey' better. Fancy that.
