Personally I'm very happy to use "manhood" exactly because it is an expression of the essence of the subject which allows the reader to substitute their own word and there are only two ways to go at any point, pure concept or pure physicality. I'm quite happy to caress the reader with "manhood" and then hit them with a resounding "dong" shortly after. Doesn't that reflect the essence of the act itself, waves of tender words and hard-hitting words alternating. As I keep mentioning, there is a group where such matters can be explored in depth, if that isn't a euphemism in itself.

Now it's time for prude hour! Sex in novels? All of my nope. .___.
Remember kids: Drink vodka, play Dotka!
When I write a 'sex scene' I tend to work towards the sex bit and then skip the actual nitty gritty. Most of the time it is simply not necessary to explain. We all know what it's like!
If I do write about the actual sex I prefer to concentrate on the emotions rather than what the characters are using their parts for
Did you seriously call it 'their netherlands'? I do not have 'netherlands' I live in the netherlands
I long for the day when MS stands for mystery solved!
I think the proper term would be "nether regions"

That would be unreasonable. It's only how Amsterdam is regarded, isn't it?Did you seriously call it 'their netherlands'? I do not have 'netherlands' I live in the netherlands

In our case that would be the highlands of Scotland. I think upsetting them is even more hazardous than upsetting the Dutch, or should I say Netherlanders? No, that's where this started. Is it worth mentioning at this point that I like Edam cheese? I don't think they do cheese in Scotland. So, can we get back to the cheesy terms for genitalia. Now that's a word to flaunt, or do I mean regalia? I suppose it depends how demonstrative your sex scenes are.I think the proper term would be "nether regions"
I think the words chosen should be the ones that the characters involved might use. It's no use referring to the lingam, phallus, vulva or labia if the people involved wouldn't know what the words meant. In my own writing I try to match the narrative style to the character whose POV is in operation. This means that a pack of cards may become a deck of cards in my narrative because the character is American even though that isn't a phrase that I would ever use myself. This is part of my philosophy from my days designing computer systems. Don't build yourself into the system. If they are having sex use their words for it.

Well, if you have friends there, and I am going to asume that this means you have actually been there (but perhaps I am mistaken in this) then you would know that the red light district is only a few streets in the entire city. It's not all sex industry there.... there is always the coffee shops tooThat would be unreasonable. It's only how Amsterdam is regarded, isn't it?
