		<description>OK, admit it, Lauren. You brought this up just to get a rise out of me, didn&#039;t you? LOL.

Well, we had this discussion exactly a year ago on my blog, LOL. And you know I don&#039;t care for it. I can handle it if it&#039;s not overused, but there are those authors that overuse what I&#039;ll term (for lack of a better word) &#039;dirty&#039; language in their love scenes.

But, I also admitted in the same blogpost that I wouldn&#039;t be perturbed if my own cleancut hubby would talk a little dirtier. :oops: However, I would draw the line at the &quot;c&quot; word. (See? I can&#039;t even say it...erm... write it :oops:).

And... excuse me... &lt;i&gt;kitty&lt;/i&gt;?</description>

		<description>Growing up, there was the general thought that &quot;good girls don&#039;t...as long as they don&#039;t get caught.&quot; Sex was dirty. Sex was bad. Until the light switch was turned on when you got married. Suddenly, sex was sanctified and right. Doesn&#039;t make a bit of sense now that I&#039;m older.

So, I didn&#039;t used to use bold words...except during sex. Now, if it fits in a story, I stick it in there with no shame. I prefer &#039;cock&#039; to &#039;dick&#039; depending on context. Most men don&#039;t refer to their penis as a &#039;cock&#039; where I come from. They use the &#039;D&#039; word instead, but some pubs won&#039;t touch that word. Don&#039;t understand why if they&#039;ll take everything else. But that&#039;s another story.

I&#039;ll use pussy, coochie, the occasional cunt, and sometimes kitty if the moment is &#039;cute&#039; enough. I try to mix it up so no word is overused, but sometimes &quot;fuck, fuck, fuck&quot; in the middle of a hard scene is all the person can manage to say.  :mrgreen:</description>

		<description>I have to say it really depends. If they are over used in a book it loses it&#039;s meaning.  It&#039;s like in a movie when every other word is f**k. It&#039;s make you wonder couldn&#039;t the writer come up w/ dialogue. For me it has to fit in the scene.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not as big a fan (if a fan one can be) of &quot;cunt&quot; - I feel that it&#039;s still a derogatory term, and the use of it seems to be more for shock value. Or maybe not that, but all the baggage that come with the word distracts from the text, and jolts the reader back into the &quot;real world&quot; and other thought. &quot;Fuck&quot; and &quot;cock&quot; &quot;bother&quot; me a lot less. Probably because those terms are bandied about easily. Maybe its my age. The latter two terms sometimes work for a grittier feel. Sometimes &quot;fuck&quot; is overused. But I have to admit, I&#039;m fond of the word - probably overfond. It works (in real life) for so many situations.</description>
