AIBU to intensely dislike the word "cum" for orgasm?

[msshapelybottom]

I don't know why but just reading the word in that spelling makes me actually shudder!

Why isn't it just spelled properly? I don't even get bothered by the "c*" word that makes some people gasp in horror, but this teensy 3 letter word makes my eyeballs want to melt.

Surely there must be an alternative?

It means sperm doesn't it?
Or it did in my yoof

But yabu for using it in a thread title at 6.30am. I nearly lost my breakfast :/

Really? Christ, it has multiple meanings!

Women say it too though don't they?

I still hate it!

sorry about that. YABU for having breakfast this early

Totally agree Msshapelybottom. Awful word, awful spelling for it. I dislike the use of the word "head" too for that other bit (cough, cough) down below -use that in the wrong circumstances and you have a real comedy of errors:o

hate it in terms of using for a woman.

Grim word.

YANBU.

I can't stand it

I hate it too. Makes me cringe. It's just nasty.

So a better word would be......?

yes very cringey I hate it too

whatmeworry, it's not the word for me, it's the spelling.

In my head it's spelled "come" but cum just makes me feel like having a wash!

So a better word would be......?

Well - [baffled] what's wrong with the word 'orgasm'? It's a perfectly fine word and doesn't have cringy 1970s porn feel about it.

YANBU. It's yukky and makes me squirm. It was an americanism when I was young, but seems to be well-entrenched here now. Also, it was a term used almost entirely by men, which made me automatically suspicious of it, so I'm a bit uncomfortable about women using it.

Hate it, in fact I wanted to post this after the orgasm thread but couldn't be arsed. So thank you

It's nasty. 'come' is OK, 'orgasm' is fine. Spunk or whatever slang word for the man's contribution - none of it worries me. But I hate the spelling 'cum', it makes me feel sleazy and a bit thick just to read it.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

I agree

Orgasm is so clinical though. 'cum' is awful. In my mind the word 'come' is to ejaculate for a bloke. Why cant we have our own word?

What could it be?

Nix Orgasm....One inserts a penis into a vagina until orgasm and ejaculation occur.

Cock, cunt, come and cum are attractively alliterative.....

Melt?

Well, it is vile. But "cum" is ejaculate. "Come" is orgasm.

i really hate it when i get text messages from people i support at work asking what time i'm cumming round or can i cum round a bit later. it gives me the shivers.

So a better word would be..........how about climax?
