Come vs. Cum

[Boxlicker101]

I always think of "cum" as either a noun or a verb. Sometimes I refer to the fluid a woman produces when she climaxes as "cum juices". The problem is the past tense of the verb. I don't want to say "came" if I am saying "cum" and when someone says "cummed" that person turns into an object of derision.

I sometimes read advertisements by prostitutes that say "Cum and see me" or similar words, but I NEVER say things like that.

You don't have to rub in my lack of hair. If you disgree with me, just say so.

I used to be a "cum" girl but then I went in to this publishing lark and I became a "come" girl but I don't really have a personal preference.

I always had a thing for "cum" girls.... sighhhhhh.

You're bald?

I always used "cum" as a noun and "come" as averb, but like EL pointed out, online publishers won't let you use "cum". So I switched, and have gotten used to it now. "Cum" is a bit juvenile, really...

I'm one of those who refuse to accept "cum" as a word. To me, it belongs in porn spam - and only there.

To have an orgasm is to "come" - and I won't use it as a synonym for sperm, either.

Before I started posting stories here, I used "come" to signify orgasm and ejaculate alike. Now, I tend to use "cum" for both.

I should grow a spine and not give into peer pressure (all us voyeurs suffer from it, you know).

But, whichever way you spell it, I'm for it!

I do write porn but it isn't spam. I will NEVER use cum (or come) as a synonym for sperm. I will use cum as a synonym for semen though. I don't believe I have ever referred to sperm in any story or poem.

"Je m'en faire M'p'tite moooort..."

And the lovely, lovely, Spanish; "Ay papi, yo vengo..."

Oops, we could go off on a whole new topic on this. Most who write "sperm" mean "semen," I think. Sperm is the seed--it's inside the fluid, the semen.

 

[hmmnmm]

Come I see a verb.
Cum a substance - semen's synonym.

I don't like the word "cum."

I realize that language is dynamic, that it evolves, and "cum" may very well be in our dictionary one day (if it's not already) but it's one of those words that grates. It's too jarring for my taste, and personally? It smacks of a lack of education.

I'm not entirely certain why an announcement has to be made "I'm coming!" when someone reaches orgasm. There are plenty of other aural queues that work just as well, if not better. Of course, if you want to "warn" your lover that you're going to come, for whatever reason (pull out?) then I can understand.

Bravo to you!
I agree with everything you've just said.

I might have a character gabble; "oh-Christ-I'm-gonna-come" or say "come for me, baby" either pleadingly or commandingly; but as noisy as the event might be-- nobody should be making any words, or I haven't done my job right.

 

[rgraham666]

Just so.

I know I've 'done my job right', writing or for real, by how inarticulate the woman is at that moment. Gurgling is a lovely sound at that moment.

 

[IrezumiKiss]

I've always looked at it as cum is what you get when you come. Two different word for two different things. From what I remember of my misspent youth, cum was a slang word for semen. Come was another word for orgasm.

Very well put, pretty much how I see it as well:

Come = the action, sensation, feeling
Cum = the actual, physical, tangible "stuff"

Although I don't have a problem when other people use either/or in their writing. When they DO use it close to the way I like to read it, it just comes off better in my head.

Or should that be "cums" off better?

Cum is a noun, come is a verb. That's all.

 

[Oblimo]

Cum is a noun, come is a verb. That's all.

Then what's "comely"?

 

[sr71plt]

Not really. The whole problem is that "cum" in this context isn't accepted in mainline publishing as a word. If you want to consider it a word for your own writing, you are free to consider it any part of speech you'd like and use it--that doesn't address the fundamental issue, which is that the usual authorities don't accept it as a word (in this context) at all. (And they don't accept "come" as a noun either.)

 

[SlickTony]

Then what's "comely"?

An adjective, of course.

You're no fun.
