Anyway, there's a lot of truth in this statement, and it's something I'm never more aware of than when I'm writing a submission to Literotica. (Mark Twain maybe?)

Looking at himself in the mirror, he started to regret every decision leading up to this one, including this tie. Kip tossed it onto the bed and looked accusingly at his reflection.
"You did this," he breathed, almost a whisper. "You just wanted this so bad, didn't you?" He unbuttoned his dress shirt and flung it across his briefcase, which wa...

Wyo_girl has written a fine and very useful article on the choice of words in erotic description. It was so good that I felt moved to reply and add a few thoughts. Also, she misses a couple of important points and I wanted to suggest a few more "thesaurus" entries from my own repertoire – for the use and convenience of the young, as Oscar Wilde might have pu...
