Words/Phrases that should never appear in an erotic story

[cheerful_deviant]

You all know what I mean. You click on a story that looks interesting and after a minute or two of reading you come across one of those words or phrases that just makes you lunge for the Back button.

For instance:

poop chute

She looked so much like my mother.

a quandary

In "erotica" stories, I usually see "cock" more than "dick" or other terms. Honestly, what are the connotations between cock and dick. Is "erection", "hard on" or other expressions more or less acceptable or do each have their own unique "buzz word" connotation. And diffeernt to men or women?

Friggin' mirrors. If the protegonist also mentions working out, it should be a capital offense.

Many authors use a convient mirror to give a quick description of hero heroine. It's especially odious to "numbers" haters, i.e. 10 inch dick, 48DD tits, etc.

Indeed. Colly's perfectly right - there's inevitably a bra size in there somewhere if it's a woman. And then there's the way they linger lovingly over their own bodies, admiring the effect of their own physiques like Dorian Gray staring into his own portrait - only immeasurably less enchanting. And don't forget the obligatory "she was ** but looked ten years younger" and the required mention of working out.

Not that I have a complex about this or anything

(I will add that Lady Jeanne wrote the only mirror scene I think I've ever enjoyed )

Dick is a cruder descriptive. In some ways analogous to the choice between pussy and cunt. By and large, the word you use should be appropriate to the voice.

A hard core butch biker might use cunt without thought. Suzy soccer mom probably wouldn't. It's all in the feel you wish to present to the reader really.

I use the technique freely, but I tend to present a reason to be looking in the mirror and only give the most cursory information. Within he bounds of it fitting the story, it's a useful technique. It is however one you need to approach with a modicum of restraint and it helps tremendously if you can work it into the story.

the only way I have thought of using a mirror in my stories is the way I use one in real life, to watch myself being fucked. its kinda fun.

That's interesting, personally I would have called cock the cruder descriptive.

remember my mentioning a sofa & a butch with a grudge? Pretty much that's what I am in the mood for

I hate seeing it in movies.. the classic one is to walk by a mirror, stop, grope your own breasts for a moment then fix the bra so they jut out better.. It's an annoying scene..

Just as bad in stories (I should read through my own story and make sure I didn't do that... heh)

Much, thank you

I would attempt a fair-play-equal-space rant about subordinate clauses, but the hypocrisy gods would strike me dead.

I've had a woman talking to herself in the mirror, contemplating her first girl/girl experience. I've had a woman do so when feeling neglected by her husband. Also when a woman is seeing herself through new eyes. It's a very valuable technique. there are fewof us who haven't had a heart to heart with ourselves in the mirror, but I think there are also few who are as narciccistic as so many characters end up seeming.
