Genitalia!! [your preferred terms: affirming and/or gender neutral]

[Mika]

I know how much you like talking about genitalia, so I was wondering what terms you all use for yourselves or any terms you know others prefer.

[Actually, my partner is working on a zine about non-binary identities and bodies, and wants to include more terms than ze already knows]

I'll start to break the ice:

I call it my little guy, dick, dicklit, and microcock.

Genitalia! Go!

[Kelly J. P.]

 The downstairs neighbour. And his two kids.

The accursed thing. That which must not be named. The tentacle monster...

Yay names!

[Felix]

I use terms that are affirming for me, but I don't know any good gender neutral ones. When I want to avoid gendering my genitalia, I tend to get either really medical, roundabout, or silly.

[Elijah3291]

I just call it my dick, or when I am joking around, my wiener lol

and I call the other thing my vag, or pussy, or if I am directing someone to "go in" I just say something like "inside"

[Beth Andrea]

Best one I've heard a woman use to describe hers...."cooter".

As in, "My cooter is kinda feisty tonight."

Funny as all get-out to me and my wife.

I refer to my part as "the thing."

As in, "What are we going to do with my thing tonight?"

i usually just call it genitals. i don't have the need to call it anything else usually. i coined the term "clitorenis" though. i like calling mine that, but if i'm trying to be descriptive of my condition to someone else, i say i'm a female born with male genitalia. that comes off as an oxymoron to many, but it's too bad.

[Nero]

Not exactly gender neutral, but I prefer the simple term 'pussy' for my genitalia. My clit is well, my clit. Plain and simple. Everybody knows what I mean and I don't have to explain anything. I'd rather call it what it is. But to each his own.

[Lee]

I tend to be very vague (like "that stuff down there") or use medical terminology if I need to be exact.  I'm hoping I'll be more comfortable with male terms after starting T.

I use pussy a lot. Idk why.

[MetaFic]

I use pussy too, but more often than not, I use nether region. Sometimes nether lips, but rarely. If they want/need more specific terminology, I usually use medical lingo.

[Cindy]

Sorry and I hope I'm not interrupting, even though I am.

Where do the terms, pussy and dick come from? Balls are pretty obvious. I'm not interested in the offensive terms.

[Beth Andrea]

I would think "pussy" comes from the fact that a woman's "muff" area feels the same as a cat's body, in terms of softness and fluffiness. That, and both purr when petted right...

Have no idea about "dick" though...(eta: although my thinking is that it's probably Old English or maybe German verb for "to poke something"...as I said, I do not know, but like to guess. )

[xxUltraModLadyxx]

i think it has something to do with the penis being like a gun. "cock" sounds to me like it's in reference to a gun. if you look at the side of a penis while erect with the hanging scrotum, it looks alot like a gun. it shoots out, well you know...

[Joeyboo~ :3]

For me:
Penis
Weiner
Cock
Dick
Banana Cannon
Etc.

Jay tells me to call his junk the same as a male would(dick)
And I'm completely fine with that.
The other thing is called his "other hole"

Yeah...we dont really have a more sexy name for it just yet xD

[Jen-Jen]

  I don't consider mine a penis, I see it more as an over grown clitoris, I don't like calling it a penis either, I just call it my "Binky!"   -giggles- sorry lol. 

[El]

My downstairs mix-up!

[Aintza]

For us, "pene" or "pequeño pene" (little penis).
Never use "clitoris", never mention other parts.

[Lynn]

My dad refers to a penis as "family jewels" which I always thought was hilarious.

I don't really call it anything though, as I never feel the need to describe it. and when I do I'm as vague as you possibly can be, like "down there" or "in my pants" or something like that.

[xander]

I say junk a lot. But I like to use dick, or cock. I tend to think dick - flaccid. Cock - good to go.

and I call the other thing my vag, or pussy, or if I am directing someone to "go in" I just say something like "inside"

^^ this.

Though i prefer to use c***. I know gay men who talk refer their ass as their c***.

El - is this an Old Gregg reference? Golly I hope so.
