With those wise words (or so I hope) in mind, let’s get down to business. So double-check your adjectives here, because they quickly lead your writing into purple prose territory. In addition to the last point, I’m finding many vagina alternatives get in trouble because of adjectives. Is this because we want to see women as innocent, flowery creatures who think of their lady bits as the “petal-soft folds of her womanhood”? (As a woman, all I can say about this is “no”.) Don’t be flowery. Somehow the urge to use purple prose is even stronger with vaginas than with penises.Idem for “he entered her” – we all know what’s going where, don’t we? So be clever with the way you formulate your descriptions, and you’ll need significanly less vagina synonyms. Don’t use any words for vagina if it’s not necessary. If you say “she was wet”, I’m pretty sure your readers won’t be wondering what part of her is wet exactly.
Don’t make your playboy pirate think about his lovers “velvet entrance” (unless you want me to laugh very loud at your scene). A sweet, polite male character will likewise have a different vagina vocabulary than a cursing character with a background in the streets. A modern young woman won’t think of her vagina in the same terms as a medieval princess. Not all words are fine for all situations, after all. A few words of cautionīefore we get to the grand list itself, I would like to give a little more advice about picking the right vagina synonym for your scene. As usual, I’ve also included some of the most nauseating euphemisms I found during my research, because giggles are good for us. I’ve already discussed penis words, today it’s time for a nice list of other words for “vagina”.
#Funny words for pussy series#
To help myself (and others) a little, I’m writing a series on blog posts with actually useful words for sex scenes. (I find vaginas even harder than other words for “penis” – perhaps because the whole aspect of wetness makes so many options sound gross…) I’m one of those writers in the middle myself, and finding some decent alternatives for “vagina” has been a persistent struggle for me. (Not that there’s an inherent problem with porn, as far as I’m concerned – but stylistically some terminology will stand out in an average romance novel.) They do like to include some details in their sex scenes, but try to avoid the most “pornographic” vocabulary as well. Many people, however, are somewhere in the middle.
Some are on the other side of the spectrum and simply use terms like “pussy” and “cunt”. Some authors write very abstract sex, in which you can’t really picture what’s happening anyway, so that there’s no reason to name any specific body parts at all. When you’re writing steamy scenes, there are different options to avoid words like “vagina” and “penis”. So if you’re a romance author who regularly features female characters doing naughty things, you’ll need to find some other words for “vagina” to use! Don’t worry, there’s enough to choose from. The word vagina probably hasn’t been sexy since Ancient Roman times (when – surprise – it actually was a rather scandalous term).
