For posterity, please remember that joanwilder is my mum.

amand_r: so, I can't believe I'm asking you this. But.
joanwilder: uh oh
amand_r: If YOU were writing a sex scene and you needed to call the clitoris something, would you call it a clitoris or a clit?
joanwilder: oh, of the two, I'd say clit
amand_r: The latter sounds too crass, and the former too clinical.
joanwilder: clitoris is lke saying penis. Yuck
amand_r: But clit. Clit. Gah.
joanwilder: and all the in between euphemisms are just stupid
amand_r: WHY DO ME NOT HAVE ANY GOOD WORDS?
amand_r: or typing skills.
joanwilder: you could say nub of lub
amand_r: YOU ARE. NOT. HELPING.
joanwilder: HER VIBRANT CENTER. HER CORE.
amand_r: Oh Jesus.
joanwilder: Hey, I read this all the time.
amand_r: You know, on a related note, whenever I see "her core," my brain inserts the word "alba" in between them. And then I start laughing madly. Because you know. it's kind of related.
amand_r: And because I am a misogynist pig.

And then it got worse.

You may all sit back in horror.

By the way, I went with...::checks text:: ...clit.

Okay then.

SO GLAD! I was not consuming liquids while reading this.

HER VIBRANT CENTER.

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

I'm picturing volcanoes with lava and explosions and stuff. Yes, I'm so tired I'm in silly frame of mind.

HER PULSATING CORE OF VULCAN HEAT!

WATCH OUT FOR THE PON FAR.

I vaguely remembering my husband saying that I ever chose a porn name (as if I would be making porn as a matter of fact, apparently.), it should be T'Porn.

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

T'Porn! I like that.

And one day you'll be having the same sort of conversation with your daughter. Isn't the circle of life grand?

Nub of lub...::dies::

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I know! I can only HOPE one day my daughter will write fanfic porn!

Nub of lub...::dies::

Even worse, when I saw it I thought of that fucking irritating Ewok song from the end of the Return of the Jedi.

[lastrega.livejournal.com]

My daughter doesn't write porn (yet!) but we did have a long and very strange conversation the other week about the burdens of penis ownership and how hard it is to be a straight white male, which cracked my shit up.

Daughters are awesome.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

So very very true.

I would have that same convo with MY mother, except I'm pretty sure that she has no idea what a clitoris is.

And if she DID, she would probably rather die than say it aloud.

BTW: I concur, there is no good non stoopid, non clinical name for it. I would probably (and I say probably, because I've never written het) say something like;
Hardened nub?

Or, if she's sleeping with my ex-husband, you wouldn't have to mention it at all! ;)

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Ha ha ha ha!

Yeah, even as I was having the conversation, I thought to myself that this was certainly the oddest conversation I've ever had with her.

Okay, not the oddest. Just the most strangely perverse.

Okay, probably not that either.

I blame you for the flashbacks I am having now.

Fortunately most of the flashbacks involve stupid euphemisms for "vagina".

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Sometimes I wonder if we hats all the words because we are conditioned to do so, or if they just have unfortunate morpheme set ups. Like, it's well established that a great deal of humans instinctually dislike/mistrust the "k" sound. Is this one of those things?

I don't think I can ever being myself to 'reclaim' the word vagina. It's..yeah.

[jacquez.livejournal.com]

you could start using "honeyed sheath" instead.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I think I remember some old chinese poetry referring to it as a jade garden" or something. Bah something to do with small feet.

[sivatheminty.livejournal.com]

Now that I'm an "adult" , mom and I have been slowly working in convo's about our sex lives or lack there of. I sense that while we both find it slightly disconcerting, we both feel the need to share :P

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I fond that liquor always greases the wheels. Sometimes too much. XD

"the center of her femininity"

hahahaha

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

"love button"
