I’m dishing out all my spicy writing icks! In this video, I’m jumping into the world of spicy
language and spilling the deets on all the grossest words you could’ve possibly used. From boring descriptions . . . to gross descriptions . . . to personal preferences, I’m breaking down the DON’TS of incorporating spicy words into your writing. Probably avoid most of these if you want your writing to sizzle instead of stink. Whether you’re a seasoned erotica writer or a newbie just starting your caper down the romance road, don’t miss out on this video-it might just keep you off the ick list. 🤢

Shlong is my fave for the meat stick I think someone describing a woman being turned on as " a river between my legs" will haunt me forever, I know they were a new writer, and it definitely read as their first time writing a spicy scene, but then the scene turned to a more non con scene and just made everything worse.

Jenna--I think I may have the "most horrible synonym" for the clitoris actually read in erotica beat. How about "slimy pearl?" I actually read that illegal verbal combination multiple times within ostensibly "erotic" tales. Since erotica is supposed to turn up the heat as far as the reader is concerned, reading something like "slimy pearl" in an intimate love scene arguably has a chilling, if not a totally freezing, effect on the entire work!

The one that gets me is when nipples "pebble." When I think of pebbles, I think of tiny flat round gray hard rocks. I've had 40+ years of experience with aforementioned body part, and maybe I've been doing something wrong, but I've never known them to shrink, flatten, or turn round or gray when aroused. Yes, I know I take things too literally at times. I also tend to visualize things literally as well. It can be a curse and also make reading sex scenes very entertaining.

@evieb6359
@evieb6359 6 месяцев назад
I will admit to being a fan of "impale," but I also tend toward erotic horror, so the unsettling connotations are very much intentional. By using words more associated with battle than love, I'm attempting to convey that the protagonist at least subconsciously realizes they're in danger. That's a very specific vibe, though. It has no business in a sweet and fluffy scene.

It’s damp and slimy and just-just bad Also please please please drop the title of the big bouncing boobies book because I desperately want to read it with a specific friend of mine so we can laugh until we start choking One phrase I keep hearing is, “to the hilt,” in reference to a meat stick entering a hole. I might be the minority here, but I really don’t like it. I think it’s just because of how many times I’ve heard it now. It’s specifically the overuse of the word, “Hilt,” I’m pretty sure. “To the base,” would be fine for me, though I personally prefer, “Bottomed out,” and its various counterparts depending on tense.

I take issue with the objection to the word mound in reference to the mons pubis. In the rest of the video it’s advised that we just call parts of the anatomy by its actual name, and well, that’s what it’s called: the public mound. Yes, it is a fat deposit. So are the breasts and the penis. Like those things the mound is sexy and worth mentioning, especially in the context of foreplay where a partner touching it signals sexual interest.

Hard agree on ‘impale’. To me, that word only works in a r@pe scene. And it works great then, because, as Jenna said, it’s such a violent word.

You have a strong and admirable Australian spirit. This was very frank and part of a bigger conversation - labelling genitals appropriately is important for everyone, and books is a good start! My biggest complaint about spice in books is when its poorly executed. Putting scenes in that don't need to be there is made worse by fumbling around with word-choices. Its writing 1.01, be concise! A lot of smut scenes I have read lately (that have sent me firmly into the clean romance camp just to spare my eyes) seem like they were copy-pasted out of the back of a vintage stick magazine. "Dear Penthouse..." 🤮 Tacky!

I suppose it depends on the consistency of how the rest of the story is narrated, but I believe that an effective elicitation of a feeling is vastly superior to an accurate description of what actually happens. In this sense, I agree that bad metaphors are the worst, since they fail at conveying the right feelings as well as at providing an accurate description. I'd kind of support the notion that less is more, attention-wise at least. If, however, Cartland's "they kissed and touched the divine" feels inadequate - even though her focus is clearly on the lead-in, and she acknowledged correctly the ultimate limitations of the medium - I'd focus on either (a) what goes on in the mind of only one of the characters or on (b) the dynamics of their physical movement, leaving a sort of camera obscura around areas where a description would do disservice, which the reader is supposed to interpret on their own within the context. Those would differ from (c) the clear, unambiguous, and clinically detached descriptions of normal narration. Specifically, example (a) would be equivalent to shutting the eyes during the most intense moments and having fantasies and associations accompany the sensation. Example (b): "X.'s knee dropped down on the cold gravel (i.e., if it's a rougher scene) / soft threads of the carpet, where one of their hands also found balance while their other hand moved slowly down the side of Y.'s body" - you know exactly what's happening from their position relative to each other, and - I assume that everyone's an adult here - I'd rather have the focus remain on the motions of their hand or head as if there's so much more to explore than exhaust the things to describe as if it happened under fluorescent lighting. Speaking of which, an opposite of the above, or example (c), would be providing an even description for the literal-minded, making no distinction between the ordinary and the special, the normal and the indescribable, as if the characters were completely jaded. A version of that with bad metaphors would be like a caveman describing their mundane existence. This is probably all amateur stuff for anyone who's written anything. I know what I like, though.

I agree with all points. I'm so glad I'm not the only one suffering. My hated word is "core" in reference to the V. Makes me think of the center of an apple and I can't for the life of me understand why people are inserting fruit into their sexy scene.

@@elizabethjoyhalladay961 You are certainly welcome to it. I'm with Jenna on this one. My preferred terms at c*lt, c*nt, and c*ck, though I tend to avoid using c*nt in my published work, because a lot of women don't like it. I assume that's because of it's use as an insult, which I get, but it's frustrating because it's such a good word. It *feels* night and raunchy.

Anyone who was born/living in the UK in the 1970s can NEVER take the word "pussy" seriously, thanks to a certain Mrs Slocombe in the tv comedy series 'Are You Being Served.' And 'meat wand' just sounds like something from the Harry Potter fanfic NOBODY wants. Having said that.. didn't Frank Herbert use the word "beefswelling" or something very similar to that in 'Dune,' to describe a teenage boy's erection? That is... just... HORRIBLE. I like beef, beef is great... I do NOT need the word for such a tasty food item RUINED for me like that!
