I suspect writing is a subjective thing, and if you can get something past an editor, I say go for it!<br /><br />Lenny Bruce was a hoot. I absolutely loved his "Masked Man" cartoon, where the Masked Man wanted Tonto to 'perform an unnatural act' and the people went around screaming "Masked Man's a fag!" It was hilarious.<br /><br />Take care, <br /><br />JennaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-4915543991522772452009-08-17T21:45:46.464-04:002009-08-17T21:45:46.464-04:00Hey Jenna;

That was a few years ago and it seems it's changed. Sigh!<br /><br />Oh, the prostate. I've used the term, many times. Now I'm wondering if I'm the 'only' one.

But sometimes you just gotta call it what it is. *G*<br /><br />I seriously did prefer the usage of 'come' until so many editors started correcting me on it, in big epubs and small ones. So now when I see strictly the 'come' usage I think it's either a new, timid author or poor editing. Just my observation!<br /><br />Thanks for commenting!<br /><br />JennaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-33414088656491248342009-08-17T07:53:51.959-04:002009-08-17T07:53:51.959-04:00Hey Ash,

But if an editor/publisher wants it the other way, hey, I'm easy. <br /><br />As for "pre-cum", well, when I'm writing M/M (which I've been doing lately), I do want to mention it because it's a signal of arousal. I try to write around the need to use the word when I can, describing wetness or slickness or droplets.<br /><br />Up the yin/yang, though...that's a body part I'm not familiar with!<br /><br />Oh, and how do you feel about prostates?<br /><br />Hugs,<br />LisabetLisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-63854584771559232572009-08-17T05:24:22.052-04:002009-08-17T05:24:22.052-04:00Hi Jenna,
Excellent post.
'pre-cum out the y...Hi Jenna,<br /><br />Excellent post.<br /><br />'pre-cum out the ying yang' Now you really are confusing me with all the clinical terms :-)<br /><br />I don't think I've ever used 'cum' in my writing, prefering the traditional spelling of 'come.' Like you, I've always thought cum has 'pornish' connotations. <br /><br />I'm not sure I can agree with the editors who argue that it's a difference between the verb form and the noun usage. I think the etymology could probably be traced back to spelling errors. <br /><br />Thankfully, I've usually found myself working with editors who are OK with my way of spelling.<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />AshleyAshley Listerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11997769708965362938noreply@blogger.com
