But I'm sort of a Sasha fangirl and I love your writing so I'm biased, LOL. My agent gave me The Big Book of Filth for Christmas and it's got pages and pages of cool words for all sorts of things sex related.

Pussy is good too. I don't mind clit, and use it often, but I admit for whatever reason, I like Button too. :oops: I've used cleft, sex, core, entrance, and cunt. But we do need more words. There's enough of us, you think we could create a few more, an if we all used them maybe they'd become "real" words? LOL I’m with y’all Cock is a beautiful thing. Pussy is good too.

But honey portal? Really? In a contemporary? Jaci - I've heard that about you but you know, I didn't want to say anything, LOL. Cleft is good. I don't mind sex or even center. Core is on the borderline for me but when you're not writing straight erotics you have even *less* options! And seriously, steamy anything makes me sort of nauseated. It's like purple heads on cocks or gushing pussies - makes me a little alarmed, LOL! On a related note once, way back in the day when we had that crit group - I put up a chapter with the heroine who saw the hero and got aroused and I think I may have written something about her honey trickling down her thigh and I'm pretty sure you slapped my hand (albeit with humor) over that. It was a great lesson though, LOL. Maura - yeah, giggles aren’t good. But honey portal? Really? In a contemporary?

And yeah, there are more words for a cock than a pussy, which as a writer is damned frustrating. One gets tired of pussy pussy pussy pussy pussy, so you have to get creative. But some of the euphemisms I've read....oy. cleft is nice. Been using that one as a substitute lately. Not purply, not offensive, and a good substitute. Beats the hell out of 'her steamy love garden' :shock: I do like dick, Lauren. *bats eyelashes*

hehehe.

But I have to admit an author has failed if I merely break into giggles instead of appreciating the hot sex scene. This week's winner was "honey portal" - sigh....

Cock is such a great word I feel like I can work around it better for some reason. Still, one doesn't want to use cock three times in one paragraph! Seeley - yeah! I remember the first time I saw it in a romance it was such a breath of fresh air. No purple helmeted love warriors, no manroots! Charli - There aren’t enough words for pussy I think.

Men tend to be more comfortable with harder language than women, that sort of thing. But overall, I try to mix it up because nobody wants to read ANY word overandoverandoverandover. Too much repetition is a bad thing, no matter how perfect the word may be. I kind of feel there aren’t enough words so I like to be free to use all of them.
