An open letter to Dan Savage

Dear Dan

Yes. I'd been planning to for years, and not quite getting around to it. The flibanserin flap this week pushed me over the edge. The connection may be obscure, but I am currently working on an essay to try to explain it, so bear with me.

and heck, if you want to send a similar letter or letter of support, it certainly can't hurt.

I mailed him! My suggestion is sap. As in the stuff that comes out of trees.

I have a hate/love relationship with Mr Savage, but he's funny and clever when it comes to the linguistic bits.

I'm a little star-struck myself. Juice is a nice choice, and has a lot of adherents over on Dan's blog.

I say I'm wet in terms of being aroused, but using wet beyond that makes me think of incontinence.

I have no clue what to call it when my sexin'lube leaves a snail trail on the bed.. sexin'lube is not it.

and female ejaculation, which is slightly different form just female arousal already has some terms "squirting" "come/cum" (for the act of cumming which is associated with squirting)

I personally hate words that sound like they were just squeezed out of a romance novel. "honey" "nectar" "juice". bleh.

I like the phrase "squeezed out of a romance novel" here.

I read a very bad story on ASSM back in the day that used "gravy." Good gravy, say I!
