Words you hate in a sex story

[rescatooor]

Based on your answers it sounds like a word that can safely be used with others, while others hate it. But on the other hand, it could really almost be replaced by any other, preferably more personal pet name. Especially since there are men out there who have the audacity to call any woman a babe/baby.

I think I have one draft that has a guy call his girl babe. She also breaks up with him.

On the topic of pet names, my husband calls me tons of different ones and cycles them through regularly. Everything from the sweet (amor) to the vaguely insulting (gorda) to the just random. Like, whenever we watch a tv show or movie that features a leading lady that he likes, he'll start calling me that character's name for weeks at a time. I just go with it.

If we're feeling playful, he'll call me a bitch and I'll call him a bastard.

Only one guy has ever called me 'babe,' and he was a coworker. I had to get him to stop. I don't know how the guy made it to his thirties and still called every woman he met babe. Great guy otherwise. I doubt it would have bothered me if it had been in the context of dating. Coworker had this thick Chicago accent that almost got me to forgive him for the 'babe' thing, but no.

Female employees of banks, restaurants, and bars in Oklahoma call everyone sweetie, sugar-pie, honey, or other such intimate nicknames. When I was a kid it didn't bother me, now a grown woman calling another grown woman sweetie when she brings a cup of coffee seems invasive. I hate it, as does mum, when waitstaff talk to my father that way. His sordid past doesn't help with that feeling. The knowing he was a ladies man in his youth. I mean he has two ex-wives, God only knows, how many ex-girlfriends and one night stands way back when. I love my Mum and Pops, but she had to wonder when they were first married (before they were blessed with the runaway terror that is me) if he was being faithful this time around.

Is there a slang word for the corpus spongiosum? It's not a vein, damn it!

Yeah, today is "writing the blowjob" day.

That's just the way they are. Same in the south. Everyone is sweetie or sugar or honey. It's not a term of endearment for them to you, it the same as them saying ma'am or sir. It's a throwaway word without connotation.

They also use those same terms instead of bitch and bastard.

That's the south and portions of the midwest.

Babydoll... first time someone called me that online I swear I had to stand up and take deep breaths. I know it's used commonly? your side of the pond, but it sounds like a child-molester breathing into one's ear.

Pantyhose. Another US term that makes me think of support stockings on an old lady. Panties have already been mentioned and this turns the knife even further.

Nutsack. Really? That immediately paints a picture of something I don't want in my head. I'm sure it's only used for comic effect.

Pork-sword, beef curtains ... wtf

Do most folks in the UK say "normality" or "normalcy" now? "Normalcy" is all that Americans know, and it grates on me.

Mind you, that word is the only context in which Americans have any idea at all what "normal." is, however you spell it.

Normality ... are we expecting it any time soon?

I'm American and am more familiar with the use of "normality" than of "normalcy."

When I think of "normalcy" I think of Warren Harding, the not-very-bright US President who popularized the term as a malapropism when he ran for President. The use of it stuck after that. This is probably why Americans to this day use it, but others don't.

The older I get the less certain I am about what, exactly, "normal" is, or that it has any meaning at all except as a statistical mean.

Amazon shows it running late. They shipped a combined order with world peace, a balanced federal budget and zero-cal cheesecake.

When a writer calls sperm "baby batter," I'm out of that story.

It's a stopper for me. LOL

I can hear a guy, or some other species of adolescent (I kid) using it in dialogue.

And yet, I'll still pull in some real Urban Dictionary-esque words for semen, depending on how raunchy a given sex scene is.

It's challenging to mix up sexual slang with more clinical biological terms. I probably go 90% for the former and 10% the latter, which tend to *ahem* stick out a bit in the prose.

Words I don’t write.

Funny, but unless one of the characters in the story are discussing these words as ones that THEY don’t like, I dislike Penis and Vagina.
Just did exactly that in my most recent.

Weewee and Vadge?

 

[TadOverdon]

"Splooge." Has anyone ever typed the word "splooge?"

Okay, I just did, twice. I see it in porn comics. Other than that it's like someone calling weed "Mary Jane."

Peepee and woo-woo?

I've heard "spooge" but not "splooge." I've even used it in a story once or twice, but in a specific context of a woman jokingly referring to a young boy's spend.

 

[TadOverdon]

I thought maybe I got it wrong, so Googled it and there are millions of entries for each - "spooge" and "splooge." That's interesting that there should be two slang terms for the same thing that are so similar but one doesn't completely dominate the other in usage.

Interesting, though, that "spooge" has another meaning, which is lubricant used in the assembly of electronic parts. Ah, engineers and their humor.

"Vagina" I like. "Penis" just somehow sounds like, oh, a sort of sad little guy. Like that George Carlin routine about names - Dick, Cock and Penis walk into a club, Penis is goin' home alone.

 

[MajorRewrite]

“Dick snot”: I used it once in a story, thinking it was funny. Readers were not amused.

“Shot”, “murdered” and “raped” are words I’d rather not read in any supposed erotic story. Keep the worst of the real world out of my porn fantasies please. Thank you.

Even though there are words I hate, some of my characters love them. I personally hate the word cunt, but one of my characters loved to use the word to describe the woman who stole her husband. I couldn't argue with her. It was an accurate word.

Word I absolutely hate - va-jay-jay - Oprah should be shot for inventing it.

There you go. Such words can be used to help establish a specific character's personality and voice.

Actually, fat (a key component of breasts, especially bounteous ones) floats.
Silicone sinks.
Saline is salt water and so either barely sinks (in fresh water) or is neutrally buoyant in appropriately salinated salt water.
So, yes, natural bountiful boobs/breasts/titties/tatas do indeed float.

I read one story where a woman had buoyant, bountiful breasts. I don't they would actually float though, but it was a different way of saying big tits!

My characters do occasionally use the word cunt, but I usually save it for when they're truly in the heat of the moment.

A male narrator may start out calling it her kitty or pussy but as they're progressively fucking harder, it becomes her cunt.

But even that I only do sparingly.

 

[The_Trouvere]

I dislike the use of any obscene words, especially outside of dialogue. "Vagina" and "vulva" are beautiful words for wonderful parts of a woman's body. "Penis" is not a pretty word, but I prefer it to the two vulgar alternatives.
