I think it's a fair question and I'm not sure I agree with the article that "come" should be the kinder, gentler replacement for "cum."
In my writing, I reserve "cum" as a synonym for semen and almost exclusively for semen, though I suppose I could use it to describe a female's ejaculate. I haven't, yet.
Men will often say, "I'm going to cum!" Meaning just that, they are about to orgasm and ejaculate at the same time. When I'm talking about women, I will typically avoid the issue by substituting any number of other words for her orgasm.
Mostly, I try not to trip up the reader and will re-work a sentence so I can avoid a word that may confuse. I would avoid writing: "Come on and come already!" she said, pumping her hand up and down his long shaft.

My publishers insist that come is a verb and cum is a noun.

All erotica publishers I've check on do. Which sort of should answer the question for now--if you want to be published.
