I love what you write about John. *loves it some more*

I first wrote girlsex when I did an f/f in lotrips and it was very interesting to write. The words are very different, it's true! Now that you say it, I'm thinking the whole ballpark of associations is different so that it's not even comparable. Substituting cunt for pussy for vagina is not the same as the whole cock / dick / penis continuum. But what I found intriguing was that with the women I'm in the body, and at the same time have a more distant view of the body. I think because I know the anatomy from inside out so well, I can then take back a step and be a bit blase or ironic. And also one can rely on the readers supplying all that knowledge themselves because they're all women, too.

The additional cross-over thing adds just that extra bit of delicious mustard. Yum yum.

I'm thinking about the baggage you mention re the girlparts again, and how one might use that baggage in one's favour...?

That's true -- though I know women's experience varies, and I worried a bit that what I wrote would contradict someone else's experience, which is not something I worry about when I'm in a male POV.

Oh, how interesting!

I suppose if you wrote it a lot -- if the whole community wrote it a lot -- some of those words would just get reclaimed. Before I was involved in slash, 'fuck' as a verb sounded aggressive and even violent to me, and now I just take it as a simple descriptive.

But to actually use the punch-in-the-gut impact that a word like 'cunt' has in English ... hm. But how? Did you have thoughts?
