To use the word "iridescent"... (sorry in advance - sex related - kind of)

[butterpieify]

...to describe cum?
(sorry!)

I happened to use that word the other day, when talking about cum (I have no idea why I was talking about the visual properties of ejaculate with my husband) and DH thought it hilarious, and claimed that he could confidentally bet that I am the only person on this estate who has ever uttered that sentence.

I personally don't know how else you would describe it, although tbh "iridescent" isn't perfect - shimmery? It is certainly not sparkly. (Although I do know someone who claimed his is glittery, but he was trying to chat someone up at the time - I have no idea why he thought she would find this attractive, but he was saying this from a stage, where he was makeuped and in very tight and low cut trousers so it was kind of appropiate)

DH reckons it is unusual to think about these things in such detail, but I reckon that at least one other mumsnetter has considered this question.

OK, so I'm rambling, but, basically, do most people just kind of get on with it, or do you think of words to describe what you see in daily life?

(Ha! Daily? I have two children and I am married - sex is but a memory...)

I can tell you what it tastes like.

I'm right there with ya! I too share these bizarre thoughts!!!

I just wish it was like liquid chocolate, it would solve many of society's problems.

Hmm I have never seen iridescent or shimmery cum. Shiny, yes, as it's liquid, but not iridescent. I'd say it's more a flat colour, creamy/whitey and like watered down hand lotion?

OnEdge- if only! I might be tempted to swallow then :)

Yeah, there would be a great deal more happy ladies and therefore a great deal more happy men. Less teenage pregnancies and some very angry lesbians

damn you OnEdge have just had to explain to DH why I chuckled and the clever bastard is claiming his is liquid chocolate but is so long since I had a taste I have just forgotten!

Pearlescent??

your DH thinks its unusual to think about these things?
hehe show me a man who has not examined the whole thing in detail!!! :)

As in rainbowy?

Think I'm with Wanksock with the hand lotion description.

He's being unreasonable.

For all he knows, during the summer when everyone's windows are open he might overhear a neighbour screeching "Waaayyne, fuck me your spunk aint half iridescent tonight! You been dipping your dick in the tart dahn the puuuub?"

Judge not too soon

I think it's iridescent when it's dried

Is there really a need to describe it in detail? Do people do that? Its white and sticky, and extremely wet.

if it was glittery I would vajazzle myself

opalescent ?

I think it should be fluorescent. That would be cool!
But chocolate flavour... good idea! Although maybe we would have to taste like Belgian Waffles for it to work out.

Are you sure this isn't research whilst writing some terrible erotic prose? It could coruscate (ahh a favourite word) if it was magic jizz or at least glisten?
