slappy internets slapfight
On Weepingcock, a community dedicated to making fun of bad sex descriptions in fiction, an excerpt is posted. The excerpt in question involves slappy testicles. The OP says
Seriously, I think these authors forget the basics of how male anatomy functions.


Some guy named tenou_k throws a hissyfit. Or something. Cue people arguing, insulting, and generally violating Sealink's Law of Saccharine Condescension.

That said; aw, mousie!

IMO, people should use the word lover a lot more. I like that word.

I like it to. But it usually trips over my tongue. I'm a bit of a prude (no, really? *gasp*) and the idea of confirming to people that I have *actually* had sex...

...

I need to get over that, cuz damn sex is fun.

Is lover an exclusively sexual thing? "My fuckbunny with a cock of steel," might be going a bit far, but lover? Not too bad. As long as you don't stretch it out like that annoying couple on SNL.

*remembers that convo and laughs head off* That was fun. You have to come back so we can do that again. *grins*

Altho that being said, I may have a busy summer ahead, what with possibly going to Melbourne...*coughs*

I have to disagree and be the minority: I dislike the word "lover" strongly and much, much prefer to hear "mate". I don't know why; personal preference, I guess. :)

Seconded. "Lover" has nasty personal connotations, and is equivalent to "homewrecking mistress".

"Lover" is a HUGE pet peeve of mine. It's so...purple. And it gets worse when it's like "his dark-haired lover" - hatehateHATE. Or EVEN WORSE when the character actually says it, like, "Don't talk to my lover that way!" D :

I mean, sometimes it's the lesser of two evils since there are some characters who I just can't imagine saying "boyfriend" or "girlfriend," but when all else fails, just use the character's name, for fuck's sake!
