So I'm talking to Chris yesterday about the perils of trying to write (and read) sex scenes:
Me: I think a big part of the problem is that there aren't any emotionally neutral terms for genitals. There's nothing that can't be considered crude, or silly, or prissy, or overly formal, or whatever. Whatever word you use is going to make somebody squirm.
Chris: Penis is a perfectly good word.
Me: No, it's... medicinal. Like things are going along so well, Oh, oh, baby, yes - and then all of a sudden there's lab coats in the room.
Chris: ::laughs::
Me: What's needed are words that don't bring up any negative conotations. Like green, or red-
Chris: ::naughty bedroom voice:: Oh, oh baby, let me put my grreen in your red...
Me: Oh, never mind.
