Good evening all,
As you've probably already guessed the ol' D brain is a strange and twisted labyrinth filled with convergent (and divergent) thought paths, dead ends, dark alleys and the like. That being said, I have a question. I was fixing a faucet set the other day, installing a new one, when the thought flew into my head, "Is there a glossary somewhere on language that is used during sex."
We have some wonderful treatments of the subject here already, that's true. Our dear colleague @onehitwanda with the essay "Painting With Soft Brush-Strokes", @dirk2024 who opened the can of worms in his post "Writing an orgasm" and @StillStunned who replied most eloquently and pointed the way to an invaluable resource about such.
Even yours truly made effort to weigh in as part of "50 ways to write about sex acts" and "The vocalising of sex"
However, to me the writing about such things is not, any longer, so much the difficulty of making each new scene for stories fresh, somewhat unique and appealing to readers but the use of words by the characters. What words, terms, phrases or yes, even sounds, make for a plausible, credible and reader friendly experience?
Ever respectfully,
D.
