Re: Me So...Sexually Charged?

As for 'penis' and other penis-related words, I'm yet to personally find one that doesn't make me simultaneously giggle/cringe.  Any further suggestions, girls and boys?

In my youth, I have used the following terms:

Dick
Pork Sword
Wad
Member
Cock
Fuck muscle
Shaft
Manhood

Has anyone got other names for eith male or female genitalia?

Re: Me So...Sexually Charged?

You seem proud of that???? yet you needn't have put it in large bold print, you already irk me regardless of the size of your font.

I'm really sorry if I irk you. If you met me you might not like me then either, but I don't want to irk you on a website , I think thats bad.  I need to apologise for that. I can get away with saying some outrageous things in real life, because people know I don't mean any harm by it, and I'm just being flippant. I think I haven't appreciated fully how out of context a virtually anonymous text  message is.

I think pissflaps is vulgar and ridiculous and when people are vulgar and ridiculous. Like Rodney Meatyard, I find them amusing. But then Rodney was contextualised within a story. So I'm going to try and remember, that all the information some people have about me, is some text and a few smilies.

So,   sorry.

By all means

interesting that you cite the Dictionary - I trotted off to look up "horny" as I was interested and surprised at the historical ref to the lady researcher- My version of the dick-tionary of Am Slang only refers to the likeness of the erect male member to a horn- which is sort of what I had thought.  Perphaps I misconstrued your reference and you mean that by association you are reminded of her pioneering effort?   (good for her by the way!)

As for the various words-  I am under the impression that many of the "4-letter words" which have been considered vulgar are, as you say, from the Anglo-Saxon which (I'm winging it here, just an impression I have from somewhere, not researched) were the defeated under-class and thus their words were used disparagingly??

I do find both ends of the spectrum, clinical (penis, vagina) and coarse (cunt, dick) vaguely unpleasant, and prefer to use humorous enderaments such as wanker, pecker, muff, pussy...

Re: Me So...Sexually Charged?

Maybe the word horny is used as an adjective for sexual arousal because of its association with the pagan goat horned fertility God Old Horney, also known by other names including The Horned One, Baphomet and Pan.

The God's horns are considered symbols of male potency, strength and protection. Sometimes they are seen in a sense as phallic symbols. The horn has been a religious symbol for thousands of years. An altar made entirely of stag horns was built in the temple of Apollo at Delos, and temples to the Goddess Diana usually contained horns as well. The horn is also seen as a symbol of fruitfulness and bounty, as in the Horn of Plenty.
He is often portrayed with an erect phallus. The phallus is itself a symbol of the power to create life. Another symbol of his sexual prowess and virility is the occasional presence of cloven hoofs or the hindquarters of a goat. The goat itself is considered a symbol of sexuality.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horned_God

I think Tom Robbins wrote about that in Even Cow Girls Get The Blues ... Anyway that explanation kind of made me like the word horny.

and i like the word muff

and i agree with you Liandra .. those flappy words really irk me as well .. so there are some that i find affensive after all.

and i just realised i dont like the word shag for fucking .. not that i find it offensive it is just a bit inert and dull sounding.

Re: Me So...Sexually Charged?

I think what we/men easily forget, that towards women generally there's always this low level threat from men. Some find it exciting, but usually only as a fantasy, or acted out safely. But in everyday life it amounts to a low level harassment and the edge to these  irksome words I think comes from that. A lot of older women are irked by any swearing or sexual references at all. Could it be that it's not because their prudish, but because being used to having very little power, they just feel threatened by it.

Re: Me So...Sexually Charged?

What fascinates me is that there is no word in the 'official' english language for the sex act in the transitive sense, i.e. you can fornicate with someone, or have intercourse with them, but that's as close as it gets.  So in society there is no polite way to say "I would like to fuck you" or for that matter "fuck me".

That makes sense, but it's also somewhat circular in the sense that the presence of horns in this imagery is itself phallic (as the Wikipedia piece noted) -- so we're pretty much talking the imagery of horn-as-phallus, methinks.

I can't hear the word "horny" without hearing in my head the song "I've Got The Horn" as performed by Derek and Clive (aka Peter Cook and Dudley Moor being drunk and vulgar). Once heard, not easily forgotten.

Re: Me So...Sexually Charged?

I'm definitely jumping on the I-hate-the-word-panties bandwagon.  I really do. It reminds me of my elderly great aunt and doesn't do much for me at all. I also really hate the word "moist" for some reason - it think it might be an qnomatopoeic thing though - it just sort of slides around in your mouth. I think I'll stop. Ugh.

I'm guilty of over-using the word "cunt", I'm afraid. But then I'm quite the potty-mouthed little wench at times, so it's really not suprising.

Rather than saying "horny" a friend of mine says "I've got the horn". That makes me smile for some reason.

Re: Me So...Sexually Charged?

I was taken aback by how often and commonly the word "stuffed" was used in everyday speech while in Sydney. I didn't find it offensive, however.

That's because 'stuffed' is a useful portmanteau word in Oz that means a lot of different things:
"I'm stuffed" = I'm tired, shagged out
"I'm stuffed" (again) = I've overeaten
"Get stuffed" = Go fuck yourself
"It's stuffed" = It's broken
"Stuffed it up" =  Made a mess of it
Mmm... there may be others, too.

Although we (in Oz) use the word 'bastard' a lot, usually in versatile combinations like 'lucky bastard' or 'stupid bastard' and even as a term of affection with friends, Australians are more sparing in their use of the word 'cunt' than Poms (English people).  Here, it's reserved for when you need the most definitively pejorative word possible.  "You cunt!" pretty much ends a conversation and signals the possibility of a fight.  Which is a shame.  I have always thought it strange that we could insult someone to the max by comparing them with the holy of holies, and 'cunt' is a more solid and respectable Germanic name for it than the cutesie 'pussy' or the Latin-clinical 'vagina'.  'Cunt' somehow contains more respect for the power of the thing itself, and it would be nice to see the word reclaimed and used more in its proper context.

You needn't apologise, you have done nothing wrong, and it is impossible to go your whole life with out irking someone for no justifiably good reason, so don't apologies for who you are.

No, really. *wink*

hmmm....I suppose people that are popping that question whilst still feeling the need to be formal are few and far between. Have you come across a circumstance where you felt the absence of the polite transitive verb?

Re: Me So...Sexually Charged?

I'll second that, and I think the words "cock" and "cunt" sound good together.

I get irked by slang terms for the labia, like flaps or beef curtains...

How would you feel about 'cunt' being used in the comments on the files? There seems to be a self-denying ordinance in force to avoid them, although some of the artists use it in their self-presentations. I don't use it in my own comments, but I can't help feeling sometimes that I'm beating about the bush - so to speak.

Re: Me So...Sexually Charged?

I think this has been discussed before in another thread, but I think it's because cunt is used so often just prior to using violence. So perhaps it feels a bit disrespectful.

I think it also stems from the fact that different words offend different people, and the last thing people typically want to do is risk offending someone they are praising (particularly if she's a cute girl!) ;o)

Re: Me So...Sexually Charged?

Hmm sex is funny in general. Its also naughty, hot, stimulating and fun (plus many more adjectives). Its a strange thing what irks some people and what doesnt irk other people. One persons trash is another persons treasure so to speak.

If you ask me there's some hilarious stuff I have heard during sex and in relation to sexual organs. I love many terms. There isnt too many things that offend me unless you hear stuff that is just a little too dirty ie "I love your tits it reminds of my Mums''. Some people have tried that crazy ass sex talk where they take kinkiness to weird places. It doesnt get me off hearing this sort of stuff. Anything relating to my family, animals, children and leprechauns in relation to sex is just a litlle worrying.

Ooooh and I hate derogatory stuff like 'meat curtains' and the word ''slut''. I know its meant to be emancipating and all to be termed a slut but honestly how many people think the term slut is a good thing? Oh and please what sup with calling girls bitches? It is pretty offensive.

I guess all in all its the intention behind a word. I used to find the term panties wrong but now its just funny and dirty. If someone told me to take my panties off I would laugh at them in the face. Its just too hilarious.

Re: Me So...Sexually Charged?

the word ''slut''. I know its meant to be emancipating and all to be termed a slut but honestly how many people think the term slut is a good thing?

At Suicidegirls I actually manage a members group for self-confessed "sluts". It has a lot of members. (At least one current member is an ISM model, and one former member is also on ISM.)

I'd make two quick points about it.

First, to me (and the philosophy behind this group) is that slut is more a state of mind than a state of being. You can be a celibate slut or a monogamous slut. It doesn't mean you sleep around, or don't discriminate in your choice of partners.

Second, we carry around a lot of emotional baggage about sexuality, which manifests as a capacity to judge others and ourselves where sexual stuff is concerned. (I've noted that in other threads here about people's motivations for posing nude -- the idea that there's some clear cleavage between girls who pose for "self-esteem" reasons as opposed to those who pose for "self-expression" reasons. This is to me as artificial a distinction as saying there are girls who are "sluts" and girls who are "good girls". Which is to say, it strikes me as ridiculous, and it says more to me about the person passing the comment than about the person being commented on.)

The word "slut" has all this baggage around it, so to call oneself a slut is quite confronting, but in (I argue) a good way. If you can say of yourself "I'm a slut and I'm OK with that", it will tend, I believe, to make you more comfortable and confident in making your own choices and being OK with them, and to be less judgemental of other people's choices, where no-one is being hurt or coerced by them.

5-word Summary:
I like the word "slut".
