Thoughts on the word cunt

[tenyari]

I'll have to go back and read the discussion.

I've been hearing a lot lately that 'cunt' has a friendly banter meaning in the UK and some other English language places. In the states where I grew up it has solely one exact meaning: a crude term for female genitals. So using it is almost always derogatory, with about the only exception being the 'heightened roleplay during sex / foreplay'. You'd really never use it in a friendly way with someone you were not sexually active with.

Of course we're now in the era where the US is not only no longer a cultural trend setter for the world, true for some decades now, but also culturally and morally repugnant to most of the world. So I don't expect anyone to take linguistic influence from us anymore.

But I do wonder if 'cunt' just has a completely different meaning in the rest of the world, like is it a reference to microwave popcorn or something?

Cunt is a powerful word, which is why so many people are afraid of it.

Here in Oz it's mostly interchangeable with pussy. I use both as the mood shifts from soft to hard in a story. All of the women in my stories will eventually refer to their cunt, and more power to them.

I’m actually also quite demure in most situations but I love the idea of a guy fucking me hard as he talks dirty telling me to take all of his cock in my wet cunt.

My kind of woman.

It’s a big, maybe biggest curse over here in the U.K. probably best avoided in polite conversation. But I use it describe rude men

Blake Lively's Emily uses 'cunty' in Another Simple Favour.

It’s a great word but context is everything when using it - Anglo Saxon or older, I believe. My preference for its application in erotic situations. Interesting how it’s an insult in most places, but in Australia it’s largely a term of endearment.

I agree, context. The US definitely has an aversion and it is always thought of as demeaning and worse. In the bedroom, I have discovered that it can be arousing for some women, usually after we are both at the point of extasy and maximum desire...lots of foreplay...

Still surprised when I hear it on American TV shows. It still somehow lacks the punch that it packs when uttered in a British accent, preferably the flat northern tones of Nottinghamshire and above ref. more recent versions of Lady Chatterley’s Lover.

Hi all,

I just got a comment that berated my use of the word cunt and because of it rated my story a 1. While I don’t normally care what people comment, I found it strange that someone would give a story a 1 star because they didn’t like that I incorporated the word cunt.

What do you think about using cunt in your stories?

I use it in my writing. Hell, I use it in my everyday vernacular.

Especially in erotica it's a great word.

 

[susurrus]

I've got my prefereces for describing genitalia. Almost without exception it's cock, breasts, tits, pussy and cunt. As there's more impact to the last word, I use it sparingly, but I feel when I do use it, it's done appropriately for the circumstance, and its' always during a sexual act. It's never used in conversation (that I can recall).

When I do roleplay, even my female writing partners use the word on occasion.

I must say, that in all my years, I referred to my wife's pussy as a 'cunt,' only once. She was severely upset with my use of that word and told me to never use it again. Fast forward 50+ years, while I am reading her back and forth messages on FB, with an old B/F of hers, where he writes that his cock is going to stretch out her cunt lips, she can't wait for it to happen. (Just to be clear, I was reading these messages with her permission.) I brought this to her attention, and she just shrugged it off. Apparently he has the equipment to deliver his promise. It's also the difference in what a B/F can get away with and a husband.

I think it changed a bit when men started referring to a woman as a cunt instead of the the word bitch.

 

[TarnishedPenny]

A burlap term for a silken object.

 

[calmlikeabomb]

Personally I love cunt.

And I think the word is appropriate too, BUT only in certain circumstances.
Vagina is so... Medical.
Hole requires context.
Pussy is... Soft. A delicate retiring flower.

But cunt...

Cunt is tough. Cunt has attitude. A cunt can take a pounding and give back as good as it gets. Cunt is strong. Cunt is aggressive.

Cunt is awesome.

I suppose it could be because in a British accent, the pronunciation involves a hardish 'Kh' instead of 'K', which makes it slightly more throaty and gutteral, which in turn makes it more aggressive and primal.

Best usage of the word I have ever heard was on the Sopranos, when Pauley said someone was being "cunty". I paused the show and thought, did I really just hear that. I played it back and almost died laughing.

 

[pink_silk_glove]

"cunty"

Cunty is nothng new. I say it all the time.

 

[Djmac1031]

Im truly surprised all you cunts are still discussing this topic after all this time...
