oh what a night

Dec 13, 2003 17:30

When I woke up this morning I found tinsel in my shoes. Holiday parties - they follow you home! I'm scared to open the closet in case a choir leaps out and bellows Silent Night at me. But I have my favorite seasonal decoration on the fridge: my RotK ticket. I wonder if it'll still be valid if I sketch little sparkly reindeer on it ( Read more... )

writing, sex, themes, meta(ish)

Mmmmm. Sexy worrrrds.

Like you, I've become desensitized to 'cock,' in about the same ways. There's only so many times you can type a word before it loses *all* meaning outside of its context. Weirdly, 'dick' still has a bit of frisson.

As I use it more often? That'll stop. *snerk*

At this point... well, the sex words that *have* meaning tend to have negative meanings. We've already discussed my 'moist' issues.

I still do get a charge from 'suckle,' but again, seriously context dependent. It can be so very wrong so *very* easily.

Blah procrastinate blah.

Your moist issues are now my moist issues. You shared.

Dick, hmm, that can go either way for me. Sexy, silly. I think it's the way it turns up so often in non-sexual contexts, which cock doesn't, since I don't read a lot about poultry breeding.

At least once I lost my eep, sex words! thrill, I got to concentrate more on what actually went on in the scene, not try to rely on the vocabulary to carry the sexy vibe for me.

Will seriously consider suckle. :)

It's all I ask. :D

But you know... I guess 'dick' is dependent on context, too. It can't be coincidental that I almost never see or hear the word *outside* of raunchier-than-usual slash these days. Hmm.

I like "moist" just fine. Ditto "cock," although I agree it's had a lot of the ::ahem:: juice drained from it by this point.

Back when we were co-authoring, prillalar called me "Verb Woman," and it was only then that I realized that I give a lot more thought to the verbs in stories than I do to the nouns. "Cock" is throwaway, but "suck" is still hot business. Ditto scratch, moan, writhe, whine, wail, slither, etc. Coining new verbs is fun, too. In that story Hal and I wrote together, I used "whipcracked" do describe the reflexive action of an orgasming man's spine, and I think that's what inspired her to call me "Verb Woman" in the first place.

Mmmm. Right there with you. All my key words, the ones that will suck me into even bad porn, are verbs. I love verbs. Verbs verbs verbs.

(I'm trying very hard not to take my Greek exam. ahem.)
