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!!

I think cock and cunt are best for shagging purposes.
Haha. I came here to say this

I like cock (of course) but I really haven’t found a word for my own bits that I like. The word ‘fanny’ is exclusively an insult in my house.
I might try ‘fairy’ and see what happens.

northprincess · 17/08/2020 22:42

Oh god I wouldn't call them anything - it makes me cringe.

Thehogfatherstolemycurry · 17/08/2020 22:51

Foof and Widge for polite conversation
Don't and cock for sex

SatanicDesk · 17/08/2020 22:52

The worst ones I’ve had (all from the same person) was a serious “mound of Venus”, followed up with an unironic “mons” 😂I managed not to obviously laugh, but it was totally unacceptable!

Cock and pussy for me please!

Thehogfatherstolemycurry · 17/08/2020 22:52

Cunt not don't, my auto correct has turned into my mother!

achillesratty · 17/08/2020 22:54

Cock and cunt here as well.

I once had this conversation with a group of friend's and my oldest friend told us all (with a straight face) that she and her husband use "love pocket" and "mighty tool". I nearly snorted a full espresso martini over myself and another friend announced she laughed so much she had literally wet herself Shock.

If you are reading this A, I am sorry Grin.

I''m stealing that, "fancy a jolly 'oliday?"

Dappledsunlight · 17/08/2020 23:04

My friend told me her new man (both in their late 50s) referred coyly to his "manhood" and as "Him", ie "touch Him"!! He also referred to hers as "your soft flower" Confused! They're not together anymore Grin.

DressingGownofDoom · 17/08/2020 23:06

Sex talk makes me cringe and sexting is just awful. I mean I did it when I was about 21 but the thoughts of sending or worse GETTING a message about (it hurts me to even type this) wet pussies or hard dicks SadBlushBlush no! That isn't sexy.

So on the rare occasion I need to discuss it it'll just be penis or vagina but even when I was giving birth to my child I didn't have to say 'they were examining my vagina!' I just said I had an internal exam or whatever.

I do like fanny though and have been known to refer to the fanny gallops. I think fanny should make a comeback.

DressingGownofDoom · 17/08/2020 23:12

@Fidgety31

I’m 40s he’s 50s We use fairy (juicy fairy in sex) and sausage (big fat sausage in sex)

I have no idea what words he used before he met me !

Ah!

DP, despite being something of a 'geezer' (by his own admission), creases visibly with embarrassment if asked to Use His Words in the sex arena.

Concerted efforts on my part have brought him to using 'it' for his parts, but we're still stuck at 'moo-moo' for mine. It used to be 'willy' for his, so it is an improvement, I assure you.

I have to admit to toying with this trait occasionally- I've asked him to tell me what he wants me to do, and if he says "Suck it", I ask what, exactly. (I'm a meanie Grin)

He's very comfortable using the word 'cunt' outside the bedroom though (not about me, I hasten to add)
