Word usage, coming vs cumming

[Betrayer_of_Skalathrax]

I'm sure this has already been addressed so forgive me if this is beating a dead horse. I was curious which one is more correct. I've read many stories on here and have found each author different. Some prefer coming and and some that prefer cumming. Is one more correct than the other? What are your thoughts?

I use "come" as a verb and "cum" as a noun. I cannot bring myself to use "cum" as a verb -- "He cummed." Just doesn't look right or sound right to me. I write "He comes" "He came" "He is coming."

I think this usage is fairly common in erotic lit.

This topic was discussed at some length in a thread some time ago -- it's been at least a year. People do this many ways, but come/cum usage is common.

Use "cumming." It just sounds nastier.

Both "coming" and "cumming" are correct and both are commonly used. It's entirely up to you to choose which one you prefer.

“Come” cannot often be mistaken, in context.

“Cum” can NEVER be mistaken, in context.

So I use “cum.” Past tense is, indeed, a problem, but I think I subconsciously avoid using either “came” or “cummed” (I’d never use cummed). I more often seem to use other terms in past tense: unloaded, shot, fired, blasted, things like that.

Come as a verb; cum as a noun.

 

[Hypoxia]

The argument is usually about verb tenses.

• Future: "I'm gonna cum!" or "I'll come hard!" are about the same.
• Present: "I'm cumming!" or "She's coming!", still pretty same-same.
• Past: "I came!" or "I cummed" or "I comed" -- woops, no good.

But 'cum' can still be past-tensed with slight effort. "Wow, did I cum!" I don't expect 'cummed' or 'comed' to gain any authority so just play with it.

 

[ElectricBlue]

Come as a verb; cum as a noun.

Likewise.

"Cummed" and "cumming" just sound juvenile and look tacky to me - nearly always a back click. And cumin is a spice.

"Came" is commonly used as past tense of "come".

Cum and its derivatives are very much a twenty-first century usage, I think. Lit was the first place I ever saw it used - it's not the literary usage, but is increasingly a popular usage. People who think it's definitive or "correct" though? Don't be silly.

I would pay good money to see the video of this being asked in a college English class...

Or read about it in a Literotica story. Spelling and porn. Two great things that are even better together.

Now there's an odd kink.

Spell it how you like it. This isn't a democracy,

I wish I could remember the book, but the first time I saw "cum" written to indicate "orgasm" was about 25 years ago. I don't remember it verbatim, but the book had a character waxing philosophical about how men 'cum' because it's just a short and sometimes abrupt act, whereas women always 'come' because it takes more work and can last longer. And there was something else about a woman's orgasm being elegant as compared to a man's, which, the older I get seems less true.

 

[SamScribble]

‘Whale, dang it, boy. I jest cummed ‘round the corner and ther she were.’

(Of course, those of you who haven’t had the operation may find coming ‘round the corner a little difficult.)

 

[Jada59]

I use "cum" or "came". Unless I make a typo. I have been known to do that!

 

[AlinaX]

I have also seen cum used occasionally as a verb for decades, but it always throws me, just as come as a noun always throws me.

"I tol' you not to cum," she yelled, come running down her thighs.

My worst, or funniest, typo was when I typed coke instead of cock. He thrust his coke inside of her...

My Dutch friend once told me only us Americans use cum/cumming. I feel like that could be true, we're always fucking things up

My autocorrect is constantly replacing my "cock" with a "clock." I can't begin to tell you how many times I've had to rewrite the sentence, "I thrust my clock into her posse."

Hahaha! That's funny! I frequently type out "balks" instead of "balls".

Mine autocrrects to "Vick".

I was trying to find that book I referenced earlier, and stumbled on this:

Per Slate's Lexicon Valley: When Should You Use Come vs. Cum? It Depends What Kind of Sex You’re Describing.
Link: https://slate.com/human-interest/20...stions-about-when-to-use-which-sexy-term.html

Money shot, er, graf: Rather than part-of-speech dependent, in other words, the spelling should be context dependent, because the tonal shimmer around cum is very distinct from the one around come. Come and cum are not two different words for the same act-cum-orgasm ectoplasm; they are two different words for two different acts-cum-orgasm ectoplasms. And all four meanings have their place.

The content of the article doesn't quite match the headline. At the end, what the article recommends, which I agree with, more or less, is that it depends on the nature of the overall work. In a serious journalism article, or in a serious literary work, "come" might be better. In an erotic story, "cum" is better. But I still think as a personal preference that only applies to the noun, not the verb.

I don't auto-correct. My manual corrections are bad enough. What AI does to me, ay yi yi!

...what the article recommends, which I agree with, more or less, is that it depends on the nature of the overall work. In a serious journalism article, or in a serious literary work, "come" might be better. In an erotic story, "cum" is better.

A few other terms for orgasm exist. Shall I whip out the erotic thesaurus entries? Yes, different literary forms see various terms. "Whew, 'bout snorted a piston thar, Betty!" gasped the trucker. Or mention volcanic action.

Shocking, that. /sarcasm
