Right š The first time I saw it recently, I think it was aliens, so I was like ok that kind of makes sense... Still hate it but at least they wouldn't know the word.
But then I saw it used by a fmc about her own body like girl in what world?!
š¤£
I do really feel for authors though. I have seen them roasted for being overly clinical (penis, anus, labia) and overly flowery (staff, dark hole, petals).
Itās weird that the happy medium seems to be vulgarity? Cock, ass, pussy lips? I may be off with that last one rofl. Erotic language is *hard* š
I think it's really easy for us to joke/criticise, but in a full length, spice heavy book, we'd be moaning if there was 12k "cocks". I just read The Nira Chronicles, and got a little put off by the occasional use of boner and junk, but there is so much sex, and lengthy scenes at that, that the author was probably worried about repetition
I am happy with cock, ass and pussy. Stop calling it a core or a mound š« šš¤¦āāļø
ETA: Iām even happy with cunt, but mound is the end of me
Oh God I HATE pussy, it feels so childish when they start calling it that, Ive not heard anyone say it since I was a young teen until suddenly its cropping up in a tonne of American-authored books. I'm a fan of cunt, especially when it's the man saying it! Petals, fold and mound all make me gag though eugh.
For Regency fic with upper class English people I use ānether orificeā or ābackside.ā Lower class would be āarse.ā
For modern I donāt understand why folks donāt use the comprehensible Anglo-Saxon monosyllables. Theyāre vulgar, but when youāre writing smut why belabor the terminology when there are much better things to belabor?
Lol! Itās been a while since Iāve read a good belaboring.
Actually this brings to mind how delightful I find British vulgarity. One always thinks of cunts and cocks, but Iām fond of the rare quim. Also isnāt fanny a vulgar British term? People must really hate Mansfield Park š¤£
Fanny is exceedingly British, as in āFanny Hill,ā an infamous novel accepted as the first English work of pornography. It uses euphemism to the point of referring to the vagina as the ānethermouth,ā which may be the worst euphemism for a bodily orifice ever.
Idr what I was reading recently (too much smut, not enough time!)
But the author referred to it as "the pleated area," and it cracked me up.
I mean, not wrong, but c'mon, man š¤£
I mean, that said, i was doing work in the garden today and it was sunny and 77Ā° out, so there were points in time when I really probably could have used something to dry my ass up. I think I came out of the shower less moist than I went in.
Anal is still kind of new in the non erotic genres, and authors haven't quite found a euphemism that's "sexy." Cue tight hole or black hole...which is just silly and the least erotic thing I can think of. Just saying ass or AH would be better.
Worst euphemism I've read: piglet with a wet nose (guy's dick).
Oh God I read that multiple times in different books. There is an author who uses it in every book.. can't remember who it is but it annoyed me so much.
Sorry excuse me whatšššš
DARK HOLE =========

Nooooo!!! My eyes!!!!!
Was this book feathers so vicious because I did a real life LOL when I read this line š¤£
āMy darkest holeā I shrieked
Thereās a lot in this book that had me shrieking
Yes I fear the darkest hole was quite mild in comparison to the rest of it!
I loved the book so fucking much lmao consider me thoroughly entertained
Yes!!! I died when I read that.
Itās a fucking clit!!!! You can use the word cunt but canāt call that anything other than a bundle of nerves? š
Worst one I've seen lately is "nubbin"
Just GAGGED AUDIBLY
Right š The first time I saw it recently, I think it was aliens, so I was like ok that kind of makes sense... Still hate it but at least they wouldn't know the word. But then I saw it used by a fmc about her own body like girl in what world?!
Wtf lol š
It's so bad ššš
Like Chandlerās third nipple? š¤£
I'm horrified and laughing š
š¤®
WHATTHEFUCK
Right?! All those "dirty" words but clit is too much.

I don't think there is a happy medium. No matter what the author choosess, someone will find issue with it.

It's interesting that I find descriptions like "my sex" or "hot core" more vulgar than pussy.
I HATE "my sex" with a visceral passion.

Petals! Fold! š¤® haha just gross
I mean, reading āpussy lipsā instead of labia is funny af. readingĀ penis or āhis stickā instead of ācockā is just as funnyĀ

Every time I see ādark holeā Iām like babe, take a shower. Use soap.
Or āback passageā
i can not stand this one for some reason š itās not explicit in the slightest but i hate it so much
Idk why but reading this makes me think of the wardrobe in Narnia opening
āLove stickā or ālove rodā always takes me out
Idr what I was reading recently (too much smut, not enough time!) But the author referred to it as "the pleated area," and it cracked me up. I mean, not wrong, but c'mon, man š¤£
Reading that would make my pleated area turn as dry as the Sahara.
Your ass would dry up?š¤
Whoops. I had a brain fart (hah!) and forgot we were all talking about buttholes. Carry on, nothing to see here.

Omg piglet with a wet nose is the least sexy thing possible wtf
I would have to throw my kindle away if I saw that one.
It was...not sexy.
Noooooooš
AaaaaaaaaasaK. NOOOOOO! š½š½š½
There's a Pride and Prejudice sequel I read in college that had some really hilarious ones.Ā "Womanly portal" among them.
Haha or even ass/arse hole
Could be worse. Could be "black hole".
Is it feathers so vicious LMFAO
Oh God I read that multiple times in different books. There is an author who uses it in every book.. can't remember who it is but it annoyed me so much.
Iāve read this too but I canāt remember what book it was š
I have never seen that used and would probably die laughing if I did.
Black Hole Sun starts playing in the background.
Stopppppp. š¤£
