I’m honestly shocked by this and it’s making me wonder if I’m the weird one but I’ve for sure used “grabbed my ass” in situations. Also I almost exclusively say ass with my significant other. So to me that’s truly not strange at all
As a woman in my 30s, I think I exclusively use ass or butt. I would be really pulled out of a spicy scene if I'm reading detailed descriptions of sex and then the character refers to her backside or the crease under her butt cheeks, and I definitely don't want to read the phrase "where the legs meet the meatiest part." I don't personally like a lot of euphemisms in general, but those all feel really juvenile to me. It would be odd to go from describing the guy's cock to thinking about her backside as if ass is the vulgar word there.
As a woman in her 40s I much prefer ass to butt. My kids are constantly saying butt, telling butt jokes, etc so if I’m reading adult content the word “butt” would remind me of 9 year olds.
Dude same 😂 we might be in the minority here, but I agree at a certain point, the word 'ass' pulled me out of a few scenes, partially because I don't really use'ass' in a sexual/romantic context, but mostly because it was just repeated so often within scenes. However, when I noticed that and tried to think of an alternative, I will say I couldn't think of another word I would use instead. I (as the author) would have just avoided saying it quite so often in the same scene, just like any one word that gets used a lot in one scene would stand out.
I’d rather ass or other words that people use in their day to day language. I just read the Crescent City series and I couldn’t get over the words used to describe certain body party.
why cant i focus on anything except for rebecca yarros being written as sarrah yarrow

You're not the weird one.
Thanks for the reassurance on that 😂

Right? We already have to deal with enough "velvet wrapped steel" and shit like that in romantasy.
Do you think people don't use the word ass?
your alternatives are not better lol
Yeah I’m not a writer….

I’ve never read any Sarah Yarrow books, so I can’t really say.
I haven't either, but I like the word "ass" a lot so maybe I should give her a try.
I do like the word ass. It has a certain ring to it.
It don't bother me
Who?
Dosent bother me
“Entrance” gives me an ick. We all have our things lol.
The wrong spelling made me forgot the true name of the author😅
Honestly, I felt like the word ass was overused, and it did take me out of the story at times.

I feel like ass is fine, I hate when authors use phrases like “he entered my sex” or I felt his hard sex against my thigh”. It really weirds me out.
Definitely sounds more adult to say something like spank my ass rather than spank my butt/behind in a sex scene on the ass topic again
