What's the appropriate terminology for your "nether regions" in a new middle aged relationship?

Just that really! Have me a new man and when he used the word "fanny", I felt a bit queasy! Equally, "willy" sounds ridiculous at our age!!

That should have said "have met a new..."

Hehe he’s old school.

I mean, it depends on the context.

‘Careful, you’re showing your fanny’ - fine.

‘I want to touch your fanny’ - totally not fine.

LunaNorth · 17/08/2020 16:25

Oh, and the other part of the question also depends on context.

‘Zip yourself up, your willy might fall out’ - fine.
‘Oooh, you’ve got a lovely big willy’ - nope.

pipandpoppy · 17/08/2020 16:28

LOL ! I think "show me your cock" sounds a bit "porn".
"Pussy" is also a bit meh... !

gGet yourself on Ao3 and read some smutty fan fiction...you'll have a whole plethora of ideas!

I think cock and cunt are best for shagging purposes.

AuntieJoyce · 17/08/2020 16:32

“Bits” -both sexes Grin

He remarked that the cat was washing her twinkie the other day.

I’m now using Twinkie just to entertain myself. Not worn thin yet

AuntieJoyce · 17/08/2020 16:34

Metaphorically speaking

Not actual manual entertainment you understand

I don't think I've ever used the word cunt about an actual vagina, only time I've ever used it is if I'm calling a person one Grin It's to horrible a word
Palavah · 17/08/2020 16:35

'throbbing member'
'earthy sex'

ClementineWoolysocks · 17/08/2020 16:35

Vlad the Impaler and Mrs Fubbs Parlour.

I haven't heard anyone say fanny for donkeys years, it's a bit 70s.

LunaNorth · 17/08/2020 16:36

@AryaStarkWolf I used to feel like that, then I reclaimed it.

It makes me feel all earthy and Anglo-Saxon. I’m not the coy type Wink

LunaNorth · 17/08/2020 16:37

Mrs Fubb’s Parlour

picklemewalnuts · 17/08/2020 16:37

I prefer a coy 'here' or 'there' . Not one for words myself. They are all a big turn off.

Palavah · 17/08/2020 16:38

I read this as 'fanny' having replaced 'donkeys' years ago. And thought I had learned a new one.

OnceUponALorry · 17/08/2020 16:40

I use 'Huge cock'.

He uses words to describe what he wants to do.. but not a word to describe it.

Oldbagface · 17/08/2020 16:41

I'm with @LunaNorth on this. Cock and cunt. Pussy is the worst. It makes me wince when I hear it.

user1481840227 · 17/08/2020 16:42

I didn't think anyone said fanny or Willy in a sexy context...more jokey!

KatherineJaneway · 17/08/2020 16:44

I haven't heard anyone say fanny for donkeys years, it's a bit 70s.

Still makes me giggle when I hear it though, even in the context of Pride and Prejudice.

AryaStarkWolf · 17/08/2020 16:45

Yeah Pussy is awful

Angrymum22 · 17/08/2020 16:48

Not keen on ‘cunt’ but having just watched the “Harlots” series I quite like the word ‘cunny’. I am thinking of introducing it to DH.
I do love ‘hard cocks’ though.

Don’t we all, dearie Wink
pipandpoppy · 17/08/2020 16:52

These are hilarious ! I agree with "fanny" which is why I was a little taken aback when he said it during a rather intimate session on the sofa ! LOL!!

SoulofanAggron · 17/08/2020 16:58

'Cock.' 'Cunt' or 'pussy.' These are the words which I would find more appealing than others, but everyone's different.

'Willy' is like something a kid would call it. I'm not overly fond of 'fanny' either.

I don't think being middle aged makes a difference.

Have a think what you'd prefer, and tell him if he says something that doesn't do it for you.
