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.

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::

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! ;)

I blame you for the flashbacks I am having now.

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

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

"the center of her femininity"
