puss, pussy, cunny,cutie,hole,vagina...any of these.

(Why am I telling You this......)

In Ireland, (and in England) we refer, affectionately, to The Moist Muffin as a "Fanny"....

In my wild youth, I used to shorten this to the simpler "fan", as in, "Just lift your Fan, there's a Good Girl...." My girlfriends still like 'Fan' as a pet name for their waterpark.... It's cute and it's intimate and it's personal.... (But I'd NEVER use it in a story!!!!) It's TOO cute!!!!

"The problem is that I've never embraced my eccentricity in the way that it has embraced me..." "That sounds terribly self-important." "My point exactly..."xx SF

You can "fan" me off, anytime.

My Aunt calls it a whisker biscuit LOL. . It cracks me up

Modern women don't use cunt?
Where's the world coming too...

Thanks everyone again for all your contributions, really nice ones!

I heard the term "Butterfly lips" a while ago.

Yeah, okay, here I am throwing in my two cents a week later. Better late than never, I hope.

I had a rough minute over this issue just recently while writing my first story for Lush. After some intense evaluation of the subject, and the review of several "erotic thesauruses", here's what I was able to determine:

1. Genital word choice is a matter of subjective opinion. Everyone has a different emotional response to different specific words. Most notable is the word "cunt" -- many hate it (especially women), some are indifferent to it, and some really enjoy it. A writer's word choice is going to be affected by his own tastes, of course, but I think he should also take into consideration how the majority of his readers are likely to react. Personally, I see the word "cunt" as the feminine counterpart to the word "cock", and it disturbs my sense of balance that the former is, overall, less acceptable than the latter.

2. The words used should be chosen for their appropriateness to the context in which they're used. "Cock" and "cunt" aren't soft, romantic words that one would use while making love; they're the sweaty, lust-driven, animal-level words of fucking. "Pussy" seems to be pretty neutral; I don't think you'll find many that object to its use in any context.

3. Some synonyms and euphemisms sound sophomoric and adolescent, and should be avoided most or all of the time. This makes useless most of the content of the so-called "sexual thesauruses" I've seen. Words like "meat", "pole", "rod", "slit", "gash", "muff", and phrases like "love hole" and "man meat" just seem to make a story sound like it was written by a sixth grader (probably consulting a sexual thesuarus), and totally break the mood. Now, (here's me being imbalanced right after complaining of it in others, go figure:) "dick" seems to me to be the counterpart of "pussy", but just sounds too juvenile and unsophisticated for general use. There is one situation I find "dick" useful in, though, and that is...

4. Another context issue is the vocabulary of a character's dialogue, both inner and spoken. Most men, I think, generally refer to their sexual organ as their "dick" in their own heads, and in casual conversation with other men -- for women in the same context, again, this would be "pussy". I just can't bring myself to use "dick" in 3rd-person narration UNLESS what's being narrated is a man's inner dialogue.

5. The best technique I've found, overall, is to use ANY direct synonym or euphemism as sparingly as is feasible, and to refer to the sexual organs indirectly the rest of the time. Equating the organ with its owner by way of pronoun is the common strategy here, i.e., referring to the penis as "him" and to vagina as "her". For example, "she took him in her hand" or "he loved the taste of her".

6. "Penis" and "vagina" are just too formal, too cold and clinical, for fiction meant to get the blood boiling. When was the last time you heard a woman in the throes of climax scream, "Yes! Oh, yes! Insert that penis into my vagina!" ??

6. Lastly, there are no hard-and-fast rules here; what I've written above are guidelines at best. Everything depends on the context in which a word or phrase is used. I've found situations that render a normally juvenile-sounding word more than acceptable. The combination of certain words can have that effect as well.

Bearing in mind the above caveats, here are the words I prefer to use most:

HIS
root
shaft
glans
head
thickness
stiffness
organ
member
tool
phallus
cock


HERS
labia
lips
clit
clitoris
cleft
sheath
pussy
sex
cunt

This list is probably far from complete; I expect I'll be adding a few more as time goes by and I come across others.

I hope some of you find this little diatribe useful in your own writing...

Not having waded through all of the above, so risking repeats, I would like to offer the following words;

Mound (or love mound) (and perhaps a description IE hairy, bald, soft etc)
Mott (the mound in a mott and baily castle)
Tunnel (again add Love if needed, or fuck if it suits)
Hole
Secret place
Twat (if a little crudity is required)
Tenderness
Receptical (possibly proceeded by cum or sperm etc)
Womanhood.

I hope this helps even if it's a bit late for the originator.

Writing erotica is like looking for the G spot in the reader's mind.

Now ready to read and hoefully enjoy: The Lady and the tramp 2, (or, the postman always comes twice).

I call it delicious

good point Dirty

If I'm writing, I'd use "pussy" for the whole female genital area. I sometimes like to use the formal anatomical terms - labia, pubis, vagina, clitoris - when I'm being tender, progressing to "slit", "hole", "clit", as I get dirtier. "Cunt" is the ultimate "dirty" word, and I'd tend to use it sparingly, usually when someone is near to orgasm! It's good to have so many different terms - adds variety!

You don't know what you're missing 'til you try it

Here in Sweden the word muff often is used, which I understand better than muffin.

I don't care what you like to call it, just treat it with tlc please

Just call it a "KOOTHI"

I didn't. It's still in my unfinished stories folder along with lots of others.
I'll finish it someday, I'm sure.

The contributions of lovely names for it will never end, I hope.

Pussy. It's actually the first curse word I remember using as a child. My mom was pissed!! It's my word of choice in all arenas used. I use cunt just to have an alternative when writing. . Vagina . um no. . Isn't it funny how the anatomical word is seen as more vulgar than all the other words . . Hence all of the other words used to say "vagina"
