Reading the Written euphemism hall of fame

What's another word for...?

Friendly Reminder: These pages are centred around a yaoi theme. For those of you who might not know, "yaoi" means guy on guy, i.e. GAY situations.

MISH:
Read something really tacky lately?

MAKO:
Have you ever read a yaoi fic and wondered "What the HELL is she/he talking about?" Well, so have we! Welcome to the euphemism hall of fame, where we highlight some of the more colourful ways writers describe such things as sexual intercourse.

MISH:
Submit an appalling sex euphemism to our Euphemism Hall of Fame! If you read a story where the author has an absolutely wild imagination in their sex scenes and refers to the male (and occasionally female) ... errr ... genitalia as the:

"silky smooth blossoming leaves of the purple polka dotted papaya blossom"

...or something similar, then please let us know (and be sure to send us the name and the URL of the story in question).

MAKO:
The gods only know how many times I've scratched my head and gone 'Huh?' at some of the things I've read, or have just fallen down in a fit of laughter at the mental picture some of them create.

MISH:
Look at the examples we and our readers have found and revel in the stories that have produced them!

    It was a toostie pop, sans wrapper that had previously seen what one assumed to be a well trafficked area of her anatomy.

  2. from bonnejeanne�s
    Claimed
    NC-17/X

    Over the cushions, the curved hemispheres of the green-eyed boy's slim hips beckoned, and from between them the shadowed cleft emerged, curving up.

  3. from Star Dragon�s
    Transcendence of Love
    NC-17/S

    The fevered pace of body, hands, and moans increased as both lovers neared completion. It all came to head in an explosion of rhapsody, glistening white erupted from Cale, coating Heiru's hand.

  4. from Goat Girl's
    Bye Bye Oni-Kun
    NC-17/PWP

    Smiling wickedly he thrust a finger inside himself and began to thrust, stretching the tiny rosebud.
