Keep using the same words, damn it...

Now you see, the word 'channel' is really jarring to me. I don't have a channel! But I guess to me that's because I'm thinking English Channel. So you tell me I've got a channel and I'm thinking childbirth...

Yeah, I get the vessel analogy, but is your cock a vessel?

I quite understand if you choose not to answer that

I'm sure they are both jarring to somebody. The real problem, however, is if you start into an image, you should do all you can to complete the image. So, if you want to mess around with a sentence like that, you need words to match the mood/image. "Glistening," "slippery," "sliding" are all texture and movement words. Sorry, but "pussy" is a cat and an old, prissy lady's cat at that. No texture or movement to that at all. So, I wouldn't change one word that doesn't fit the context to just another word that doesn't fit the context. But that's just me.

(And yes, in the context of this image, the cock is one form of "vessel"--a container (of semen) ship in motion. Of course the "pussy" in this context is another form of vessel--a container to capture and hold that semen. So, the literary writer might work with that double-meaning and get something elegant out of it. I don't think he/she would end up with the twitter-behind-the-fan word "pussy.")

Simon's semen ship set sail...

Hmm. That one's not in my thesaurus. Thanks

But your thesaurus does have "prissy old lady's cat" down for "pussy," doesn't it . . . surely(?)

Yeah, it does. But deciding on what to call a pussy/ladygarden/vulva/vagina/box etc.--that's a whole new thread (which I daresay has been done before--to death, probably). Seems to me that most readers and writers here favour 'pussy'.

But then the word 'panties' is favoured here, too...

Oh, you mean "knickers"?

Sorry, but "pussy" is a cat and an old, prissy lady's cat at that.

I seem to recall that Johnny Carson didn't think this way. When Eva (or was it Ava) was on his show, holding her cat in her lap and asked Johnny if he wanted to pet her pussy, he said he would but had to move her cat.

She sued him over that, I think. I was never sure if this was rumor or not, but I always thought it was funny.

"You vant to pet my puuussyy daalin?"

"Oh sure, just move your cat."

Uh huh. I'm still laughin

I can just see Carson making that impish little grin as he said it. Ah, he is missed.
