Most any word can send me straight out of the moment and into fits (or screams) of laughter, which is not what we're shooting for, yes?<br/><br/>If a writer were to say, "He slid deep within HER"--I know where he's talking about...I don't need other names.<br/><br/>Names that throw me out of the story: Pussy draws me flying straight out of a story. Hoo-ha or Hoo-Hoo would have worked better than the P-word.<br/><br/>And "manstaff" also sends me into fits.<br/><br/>Vague. Keep the words vague.

If a writer were to say, “He slid deep within HER”–I know where he’s talking about…I don’t need other names.

Names that throw me out of the story: Pussy draws me flying straight out of a story. Hoo-ha or Hoo-Hoo would have worked better than the P-word.

And “manstaff” also sends me into fits.

Vague. Keep the words vague.

I just drafted something for Runned Away, a contemp, and my poor little head is splitting! <br/><br/>Perhaps it's caffeine deprivation...by this time of the day I most definitely need chocolate!

But it really is a challenge to come up with creative language that's just not clunky. A JILLION, huh? And all you came up with was penis, LOL?

I wound up going with penis, since my hero and heroine are doctors. I avoid the female terms cleverly. <br/><br/>I think I also use "him" a lot! <br/>What a sorry excuse for a romance author am I!
