Re: Word Choices in Smut

i like to be more specific with female genitalia and use the proper terms: mons, clitoris, labia, etc.

They're actually really pretty words, just in terms of written appearance, and I could kind of go for seeing them in smut more often. Except, well, this is the part where I make a joke about sex education in the U.S. and how most of the characters I read and write about would not necessarily know them or reach for them over more familiar slang. :\ Scully, though, they totally work for, and maybe, if I were ever to write such a thing, Margaret Houlihan. Hm. Yeah, I'm going to have to think about her.

lexical creativity has only been necessary for the parts that are secret or forbidden.

I love this point. And speaking of words, "lexical creativity" is a delightful term.
