Poll

There's a poll over in my RL journal (too cheap to pay for two journals...) Sorry, friends locked. But I'd like input from you, the porn reading public.

Click here to visit my NC-17 vocabulary poll regarding the noun/verb cum.

I was going to say just about the same thing as spyderqueen (sans the actual grammatical reasoning, though I agree with it).

I dislike "cum" as a verb, as a description of action. I'd even say it puts me off. As a noun, I'm okay with either "cum" or "come."

Incidentally, the OED includes "to experience sexual orgasm" as a definition of the verb form of "come" and "semen ejaculated at sexual climax" as a definition of the noun form of "come." No such listings for "cum." Not that I think the OED should necessarily guide anyone in this instance--just thought it was interesting. :-)

I am intrigued. Does the OED include the word coniption? :D As I said above, I believe I will be deferring to the overwhelming public opinion that "cum" is stupid and annoying. *sigh*
