Coquettish Avitars

Now as a american male I have been known to refer to down there as... many many different things depending on company. In gerneal pussy, cunt, cock and such are just a tad bit vulger... unless the 'company' likes vulger. I am normaly using one of dozens of euphemisms cause well they are more polite and jsut more fun to say. Both my parents were nurses when I was young so I knew all the terms but well growing up in the south rubs off on you. and Penis and vahjaja is silly sounding

You know, Jezah, that was actually the way I meant my comment. Just as one example, over here in Europe, we are used to naked boobs and bits even in commercials, while in the US a commercial was pulled because Claudia Schiffer was moving "too sexy" in grey cotton underwear. On the other hand, the tiniest bit of blood in movies is getting tight scrutiny by OUR censors, so it's hard to see a lot of movies in the way the director intended. Heck, even Disney movies get cut over here to get a "fit for all" rating. Go figure.

Rereading my post, I apologize for the phrasing. Wasn't meant as snarky as it might have come across.

... or cockettes?

On the other hand we don't have "boobies" in all our commercials in the UK as I've recently been told. Or maybe we do and I just don't take much notice

Hey Novis. Just checking you're not me since I will be in Germany in two weeks and I might be getting awfully confused if you and I are the same person.

***edited to remove opposite gender thing since the post ABOVE you is the American man ... whoops!)

Hello Cherry... i'm so sorry. i was going to respond to two comments and just as i started to type the first one i was pulled away from the keyboard by my husband screaming about "HIS inability to find HIMSELF a bath towel" and when i got back i just started typing the second one thinking i'd already sent the first one... just a little frustrated too i might add.

That one was going to address a comment made by; Novis Dyrssen "Actually, that sounds like you might have met some RL women. Possibly Americans."

The one to you was in regards to your comment regarding "I think everyone should always carry pinatas about. The world would be a better place, if needing to recycle an awful lot of paper."... but now i suppose its best to just forget about it since i know you must be totally confused, i know i am!!!

LOL don't worry I just did much the same thing. And thanks for reminding me, laundry!

Well, we don't have the boobs in EVERY commercial, but in a lot more than would actually relate to the product advertised, imo...

I could have smooched Rob Thomas when he said he loves touring in Germany because there you get to see sex on regular television.



Lol - I was getting quite confused because I was trying to wrap my mind around the concept of a guy named Cherry...

Of my many questionable characteristics, having a Y chromosome ain't one of them

I suppose I tend not to talk in crudities but I'll talk about naughty bits in reply to people sometimes, usually if they've started the conversation. I'm sure I've heard guys say 'down there' when referring to their own bodies (or perhaps they said 'down here' while pointing at themselves LOL). As for pubic hair, well, mine is all shaved off so I never need to mention it!

OK so that's two chords struck in two separate threads there Conifer ... lmao - I didn't comment to the oil wrestling!!

Do you have dip with crudities tho?

???

We have sex shows on Canadian TV as well, TV shows about peoples fetishes, and sex tours, Softcore porn, It's really nothing unusual.

I was raised to be ladylike, and i am, I cringe when i hear young girls on the Bus, and thier combinations of Foul mouth, and Frankly revolting conversations, "Girls, Not everyone on the bus wants to hear about your sexual antics, and bodily functions announced at the top of your lungs." As a lady, I know there is a time, and a Place for such discussions. I keep personal subjects Personal, and when i AM in a Frank Discussion about Health issues, or Sexuality, I don't use Cutesy Euphamisms, Nor do i resort to the sort of language that would make a Marine Corps Drill Sergeant blush like a schoolgirl.

Now it's a little different when one is sharing Intimate moments with ones lover,,a little "Talk Dirty To me" never hurt anyone, But all the time? As my Aunty would say, "Ladies, all you are doing is showing your Quality" .

Angel.

you know that was Fonzie, right?

Funny thing, the English language. It's not one language, let alone a single register.

I'll call it many different things, depending on whether I'm with my biology teacher, my lover, my mum, or my crazy uncle who has 3 teeth missing and a scar as long as his arm which he acquired under mysterious circumstances.

I'm sure other people are the same, and I'm equally sure the words they'd use under the same circumstances will differ from my choice of words.

Yes.

This skin makes my alt's vajayjay look fabulous!

The slang term for the female genital region that I am familar with, is a "fanny".

Fanny Price is, of course, the heroine of Jane Austen's novel "Mansfield Park".

Sorry...what was your question Jig?

Hehe!

Vajayjay? New one for me... we call it a Cookie. And personally if I was in a skins shop and wanted to discuss my "Cookie" I would do it in IM lolol.

hehehe


That really did make me LOL, Conifer


As an aside, I use "hehehe" to express genuine amusement, because somehow "hahaha" sounds vaguely sarcastic

i'm sorry, but i find all those references to private parts crude and rude and very nasty.

they are hidden in RL because they are meant to be private.

i don't want to talk about mine, or show it to you, and i can assure you i don't want to see yours, or talk about it, or know its pet name.

those crude words are offensive because they demean a very intimate part of peoples beings, and by discussing them in such a disrespectful manner shows people that not only do you not respect their intimate manners, but that you also disrespect yourself.

to all of you who think it's cool to demean yourselves and others with nasty talk, i feel sorry for you. it is very immature and not flattering, and makes you look very dirty (in a hygienic kind of way).

i so don't belong in a chat-room society. i'm disgusted.

(edit: wanted to add... making little innuendos and playing words games and flirting and stuff like that is different. i love that sort of play, and am not grouping that into the use of words used to describe prtivate parts. i'm not a prude, i just respect myself and others, and hold the real deal in high regard, and cherish my intimacy and relationships. and, this also is not in reference to talk that occurs while actually partaking in intimate acts.

i just mean the general discussion of private parts and acts, using crude references, with people you don't really know... it's just rude)

That one caused a little confusion for me a while back. In the US (well in Texas at least)
"fanny" is a slang term for your rear end, ass or arse if you prefer. A mostly innocent remark about a Texas "fanny" can take on a whole new meaning when replaced with a British "fanny".

I'm a mature American woman (for reference), and I would tend to agree with Angelique and Warda. I'm not a big user of crude language but far from being a prude. I rather think the terminology used depends on the time and place, whether or not it's a public or private situation, and whether or not I know the people around me. It is a matter of good manners and respect for yourself and others.

I don't think a public place surrounded by strangers is a place where I would graphically discuss my genitals, pixel or not. If it was a skin being discussed, I see no problem with saying the words pubic hair or clit when referring to parts of a skin... after all, thats what it is, but personally, I'm reserved in crowds of strangers so I probably wouldn't be the one discussing it in public chat... but I would not be offended to hear it. If I were having a serious discussion about genitals, I'd see no problem in saying vagina or penis. And like Bradley said... for the really graphic terms, I prefer to keep them for the heat of the moment whether it be in intimacy or anger... they have more power that way because you don't commonly use them.

As far as use of the "hehe", I do use it occasionally to express amusement, mostly not be too repetitious of the same expressions because I know I tend to overuse lol because its the easiest response to type. So I conciously switch it around between haha, hehe, lol, /me laughs. If something is really funny, I'll go as far as hahaha (lol)

QFT!

LMAO!!! Priceless
