What is the best way to describe arousal?

Asked by introv (697points) January 14th, 2009

I must admit I’ve been laughing very hearily at some of the things in the sexual partners question and as it has descened into this I thought it warrranted its own question.

I hope everyone doesn’t get shy now but what is your favourite term for describing an aroused male or females genitals. And what words do you find offensive?

wood and moist

I hate “moist,” but it’s mostly for the sound of the word, not what it describes. I generally use “wet” and “hard.”

wet and hard also

Luscious…luscious, luscious..

it just sounds sexual…

or maybe succulent…hmmmmm

I sound more and more like a deviant

@TitsMcGhee Thats all a bit literal isn’t it? Not that I actually have any objection to those words at all its just I was hoping to expand my sexual vocabulary.

Aroused female genitals – manna from Heaven. (Is that too controversial of a description or can I get away with that?)

introv's avatar

Does the term dripping make anyone laugh? Or feel sick?
boy im having fun today

Perfectly acceptable Bluefreedom…

fascinating to think though that God gave the Israelites pussy to eat when they were starving.

It’s a heightened state of awareness, esp. sexual in nature

nebule's avatar

@introv it has undertones of sounding like something to do with blood… so…sick i would imagine…

@introv : See if you can think of a word for penis that isn’t on this list!

introv's avatar

@lynneblundell Ok!
@TitsMcGhee Bah now youve gone totally the other way using someone elses work. I’m just not playing with you any more! ;)

TitsMcGhee's avatar

@introv : Not playing with tits anymore? Who’s losing in this situation, haha.

introv's avatar

Well its certainly not the first time I’ve lost out on getting to play with tits due to a rash comment!

She felt his breath warming the graceful swellings on her chest, and her nipples hardened in respone. At the same time, she felt herself growing more and more slippery, and her knees, unconsciously, began to slide back and forth, as she pressed her pubis up. An ache grew in her stomach as she felt his hardness against her leg. She pulled at his hips, to guide him towards her, looking into his eyes, all the way.

Anyone aroused yet?

daloon, stop! LOLLLLLLLLL…....(or don’t)....;-)

wundayatta's avatar

Ok, so it needs some editing, but what do you expect for an off-the-cuff paragraph? [heavy sigh]

jbfletcherfan's avatar

needs editing? nah…...

syz's avatar

I remember reading one of my mom’s stupid, stupid romance novels when i was about 12. It contained a passage describing female arousal as “her hidden cleft wept glistening pearls of passion”. Blech!!

Bluefreedom's avatar

@syz. That description is so ridiculous it’s funny. People actually think that crap up for a novel? LOL

The obviously need to take lessons from daloon who wrote a pretty decent intro above :o)

jbfletcherfan's avatar

Really. Pearls seem to get used in describing sex scenes quite often. I remember seeing them used in other descriptions, too. daloon, this isn’t the place for such stories, but yours reminds me of a scenerio I heard once of being in a wing-backed chair, I believe it was. WOOF! And I have a bathtub scene lurking in the shadows of my mind, too. ;-]

wundayatta's avatar

Well, frankly, I’m a little embarassed. But I was working fast, so I hope you’ll understand that the slipperyness… uh, sloppiness…. uh, well it can’t be helped where sex is concerned—double entendres rule. What was I saying? Ah the awkwardness of some of the images was due to that quickness. They just came too fast. (sorry, I couldn’t resist).

However, all that folderol is to say that, even though this isn’t the place, it is possible in a G sort of way, to describe things in an evocative, perhaps even arousing fashion. Which was my point, given the topic.

Unfortunately for my reputation (as if I hadn’t sullied it enough already) I find this stuff pretty easy to write. Of course, I have done a fair bit of research in the matter. It’s quite fascinating what women will tell you when they are, shall we say, in anticipation? Perhaps I should say, antici…...pation.

I would also like to say that it is easier to write when you are actually imagining a real woman whose heart rate you would like to… uh….. elevate, shall we say, and who also has a vested interest in elevating your own heartrate (among other things). If they are good writers… which is to say, if she is a good writer, it’s even easier.

@daloon I have a surefire way for you to become a wealthy writer. Write lesbian novels. The stuff that is out there is crap!

jbfletcherfan's avatar

EWWW,,,they’d go broke if it was left up to me to read them.

wundayatta's avatar

The lesbians I know tend not to invite me into their boudoirs to observe what goes on. I think my depictions would be a bit uninformed, even if I did interview a number on the subject.

jbfletcherfan's avatar

If you ever do, daloon, please keep that info to yourself!

wundayatta's avatar

Ummm, I think I have other things to worry about…. and will for the foreseeable future.

introv's avatar

Next girl I get with I’m going to ask if there are pearls dripping from her moist cleft. See if it gets me any action or if she even understands what the fuck I’m talking about!

Nimis's avatar

@jbfletcherfan No one is going to tie you down
and force read lesbian romance novels to you.
Relax already.

jbfletcherfan's avatar

Uhhh….never said they did. Just stating an opinion, ok?

Nimis's avatar

Yes, but your opinion seems a little homophobic.
To each their own. No need to publicly declare your disgust for it.

Jeruba's avatar

@daloon, do you write for one of those…alternative literature sites? If not, you should.

wundayatta's avatar

@Jeruba: do they pay? I’ve written a couple of stories for my own amusement, and every once in a while I go back to read them again.

Jeruba's avatar

I don’t know, @daloon. I haven’t cruised them much myself. But I’ll bet somebody on here knows. —>Question?

@jerunba: maybe I don’t have to. Check out the long post in the icebulb thread.
