020. A Question for Writers.

[ofthesounds]

I want to know what y'all call people's parts when you're writing smut. Do you love the word cock but hate the word dick? Love using 'balls' but refuse to use 'nuts'? I want to know everything. Are there certain words that offend you?

You get the idea.

Discuss.

I use either cock or dick (sometimes length, arousal, other euphemisms, but not the crappy ones), depending on the character and the mood they're in. "Nuts" just sounds very juvenile to me, so I don't use that and just refer to testicles as balls.

This is my issue with writing het, though. I don't like the slang for female genitals.

Cock, dick, prick, shaft, length... I think I used manhood once or twice.

The real short of it is: whatever fits for the character. If I'm writing a brit, I'll tend to use prick and bollocks more often than I do with others.
