It's I Love Smut Thursday, MKF! 1/23/03

Katharyn,

Can you think of any fics, off the top of your head, that fit in perfectly with "love?"

I happen to agree with you, too. I like reading just smut, but it's so much more powerful if there is the "love."

Gosh, I'm always late for these...and what a great topic.

It's not particularly smutty, but I think the single sexiest phrase I've ever heard, read or written is simply,

"Kiss me."

The first and hopefully the last turn on when all the other turn-ons have gone.

Oh... Excellent.

Y'know, I think "quim" goes back even further than Victorian smut. A Shakespearian version is "quinny" as well. Please don't ask me how I know this.

I did find this, however... Victorian Sex Cry Generator

And on the subject of love; I think if smut is written well enough, then love is inherent in the writing. It's all about the writing, I think. That's what it comes down to in the end. It's a fine line between whether you choose to stress that or not and not many people can do it awfully well. But we already had this whole discussion in that slashfic thread, and jolly entertaining it was too.

the story suit of leather and others (including Women Rites, a story about a first time between two pagan babes)are in a compliation called Pillow Talk, edited by Leslea Newman. I highly recommend it! as for the other, its a comic, more on the smutty side of smut, but it had a really interesting idea of two lovers continuously reincarnating in to similiar bodies to continue their love (well they do use the term love)

[Dumbsaint]

I have to say, the words "I love you" seem rather threadbare sometimes compared to the way that someone can describe an expression of need, or the softness of a touch that bespeaks utter trust. Personally, I can't conceive of writing W/T smut that isn't rooted in their profound and passionate love for one another. That's kind of the whole point. And outside of W/T, I still prefer smut that is steeped in love, not through characters oozing "I love yous" left and right, but by love seeping through the spaces inbetween whatever words are used to describe how two people interact. I think actions are far more telling, in describing the existence and the nature of love between two people, than mere dialogue. But then that's just me.

*laves Jho*

And that's not a typo, by the way.

[Firefoot]

Hmm, let's see... "naughty bits," and other favorite euphemisms...

Girl parts: I've loved "quim" ever since I first saw it used in an Erika Jong novel (Serenissima)sp? I hated "cunt" until I saw it used in a positive way in Ken Follet's stupendously good novel, Pillars of the Earth. I still see no redeeming value in "twat." Yuck.

Boy parts: I've always preferred "cock" to any other. I dunno, it just sounds kind of funny and sexy and sweet to me.

Bottoms: nobody seems to have mentioned the posterior region yet. I hate "ass." I don't know why. It's always sounded crude and vulgar to me. I prefer "fanny," "backside," "bottom," "tush," and my all-time favorite, "bum."

Nipples, on either gender, are also incredibly sexy and sweet, not to mention fun to play with...

Blushing madly now.

Firefoot

PS. The absolute Queen of Embarrassing Body Part Euphemism has to be Jean Auel. I know she means well, but some of the love scenes in her Earth's Children series have prompted in me quite a lot of hysterical laughter, which I'm pretty sure is not her desired effect!

Intresting thread, nearly got me into a whole heap of trouble of work

Cunt is a horrible word for me, mainly because I hear it too often on the terraces at football matches -definitely not sexy in any way, shape or form.

Going off on a tangent, I'm not sure if this one is limited to the UK, but we do have an annual award for the worst sex writing

Oh Jho, thou art SO eloquent -- talk about sexy ass words -- your last paragraph was full of them. Hehe. Nothing sexier than a babe who can speak/write intelligently -- that really gets my love motor running.

... and to extend your point, I feel that it's not so much what is said but HOW it is said. Inflection is everything. Even the most benign words like "Yes." and "Oh." can take on otherworldly meanings when uttered with the right cadence. Unfortunately, this illusive quality is often quite difficult to capture in fiction.

I like words that have more of a sensual quality to them like "caress" and "taste" and "kiss". I also think requests, of any kind, are the pinnacle of sexy. "_______ ME" sounds wonderful regardless of what is in the blank. Whether its something naughty or loving or romantic, it's all good to me.

PS -- Z I LOVE your new avitar!!! Fat kittens rule!!

OMG those were brilliant!
"She cupped his pin-striped balls."
That was almost as good as the B-L contest. I am posting the link to even though it has nothing to do with this catagory. The similarities are just too good to pass up.

[Kieli]

I swear to G-d slowontheuptake and Firefoot, you both had me ROTFLMFAO! I should know better than to have anything in my mouth when reading Kitten threads.

[Dumbsaint]

Oh, Bint. I feel so laved.

[lucidusgirl]

Hmm, HOT TOPIC I see, Kittens and smut, smut and Kittens, however I phrase it definitely a horny combination!!!

I have to agree with Twisted Minstrel "Kiss me" combined with a very husky voice is very sexy!!!

I bet all of this words are mentioned already but I'll say it anyway...if a fic has words like lick, writhe, fuck, tounge, groan, moan, whimper...I'm sold!!!

Teacher: Use "quim" in a sentence...

Student: My quim laves your pussy!!!

or

Would you like some whipped quim on your pussy???
(Oh sorry quim I thought you meant cream,heh!!)

Corny...I know no worries I'm not leaving my day job to be a writer!!!

Love y'all Kittens...smut or no smut!!!

[Patches]

lucidusgirl, ROFLMAO I wouldn't give up on that dream too quickly now - Kittens you are too funny.

Well ya, Twisted Minstrel "Kiss me" - gulp, melt, sigh.

Did I miss something here, or have we forgotten about the big "O"?? orgasm, now there's something I could live with everyday of the year (OMG did I just say that )

I like this one : "Oh, c'est fou! oh, oh!"

[xita]

BFR that's really funny!

Oh delicious deliriums! I lay pleasure-drench'd and spent.

peasure-drench'd

[zillee]

That victorian sex cry generator is fantastic!

I particularly liked

Ah! hurt me now, or I'll bite you!

I think my favorite smutty word is 'fuck' said or groaned at the right time in the right context! I think I really only like smut when its set in the context of love, porn does nothing for me!
