on trying to write soft NC-17 fic

[timepiececlock]

I need a romantic word for "penis", dammit. I can't find one.

Comments

I give you The Bits Thesaurus(Has synonyms for all the naughty bits. Don't think any of them are particularly romantic, though) and Woody's World of Penis Euphanisms.

You mean you can't use cock or dick?

But... *loves cock and dick*

All I can think of is the Yiddish term for it, and that's more corny/confusing than anything - it might break the mood of the fic. No, scratch that, it will break the mood. *Yiddish equals fail*

The use of manhood, love root, maiden-head seeker, rod of power (snerks) and love muscle have always made me giggle when I'd read them in those historical romance novels (bodice-rippers). Hope that helps!!

Garden and bird imagery?

Dove, or swan? I've seen garden imagery and references to birds for it.....
