It seems strange, but the biggest joy I get out of my writing is also its biggest drawback.

In a nutshell, it is that my writing is a labor of love.

That's a great joy because I do it for myself. Folks read it, and I love and appreciate that they do, but even without readers I suppose that I would still write, for putting my thoughts down is something that I ultimately do as an indulgence of myself.

It is also however a drawback because folks who do enjoy reading what I write are quite important to me, and I hate to disappoint them. Sometimes though what they expect me to write is not what I write, and other times my writing is not fit for public consumption at all.

So, I write for myself, but as a writer with readers, one does feel a sense of obligation, which should be met, at least as often as not.

Given this, I hope that you loyal readers out there will forgive me when I don't write enough, or when my writings stray from their usual course. Please know that I do value the fact that you take the time to read what I have to write, and that while my writing ebbs and flows in volume low tides will always be replaced with high.

The old adage says something like you are never too old to learn. I agree with that statement and have always been delighted to learn new and exciting things.

I've thought about my last post, and I've thought back over all the erotica I've written through the years and I've decided that my muse has taught me something very important:

If your body does not grow sensitive and damp as you write erotica, you are not writing it well.

Lucky for me, I always try to do a good job with my scribbling!

Those who have been reading my stories and thoughts for years may have noticed that I'm not particularly fond of any of the words used to represent the female genitals. Most recently I've predominantly used the word cunt. While that word does not sound good to the ear, at least it is descriptive and evokes meaning.

I may have found a replacement.

Cteis

As far as I can find out it is an extremely rare word, but it has been used for a long time. I found it in context last night reading a book published in 1871. I've found it in two additional old books published online this morning.

Cteis seems a good word, and might be a fun variation. Now you know what it means if you run across it in my writing.

I've been writing a great deal these past few months, all femdom stories, and all fiction but with an eye toward reality. I think that the stories are very good, a step above what has been posted to the blog in the past, and there is a great volume of them.

I don't think that I will end up posting them here, but I will distribute them somehow, I'll keep the loyal readers of this blog informed of my plans for the stories, and I hope that they are greatly enjoyed.

“The language of sex has yet to be invented.”
-Anais Nin

I think that I sometimes share the frustration Ms. Nin expressed with her quote above.

One finds erotica written obscurely as if it is filtered through a lens covered with gauze. One also finds erotica written frankly, yet such frank language requires the use of vulgarity. What we as a culture do not seem to posses is a language that frankly expresses sexuality and sexual pleasures with beauty, without vulgarity. This is I think a failing in our society, of our heritage.

I prefer erotica written frankly, I do not feel that I need an authors filter to protect my sensibilities. For this reason, I generally write my own erotica frankly. Would it not be nice to do so without having to rely upon vulgarities though?

Questions about my use of the word ‘cut’ to describe my ‘cunt’ in the post ‘Shaven’ have come to me via email.

Words are I think fun things. Always changing, but changing slowly, adapting themselves to new uses, new meanings. Words are descriptive, and can often be emotional. Words trigger feelings.

Vagina. I don’t often use this word in my pervy writings. It’s too clinical for my taste, plus it’s meaning relates to a very specific part of the female genitalia, not the genitalia as a whole.

Genitalia. Another word you won’t catch me using much.

Cunt. Now I find cunt to be a fun word. Very descriptive of the genitalia as a whole. Offensive to many, colorful to just about everyone. I like the word, I use it a lot. I don’t personally find it offensive, and I rather imagine that women who do are probably overly uptight.

Pussy. Pussy doesn’t do much for me. A kids word for female genitals in my view, or in my world a good descriptive word for a man weak at my feet. Not a particularly fun as a descriptor for female genitalia though.

Cut. I ran across this word used as slang to describe female genitalia recently in a great novel titled Chasing Destiny. I enjoyed it in that usage, found it to be wonderful fun. Hence my recent use of it.

Slash, gash, hole, orifice, sex, temple, ever more words for the female body part. Me, I still like cunt, but cut is fun too!
