Serious question:
How should I refer to a woman's genitals in a short story I'm writing?
"Vagina" sounds too clinical. "Cunt" too crude. "Froo froo" sounds fucking gay.
Any advices?
Any authors write about cunt using an acceptable vernacular?
Moist towelette or love cave

i wouldnt use any direct epithets desu. just say "inside her" or whatever depending on the context
pussy or cunt

Rule 1 of writing: If the characters have sex, write about everything but the sex.
Look at Lolita, not once has Nabokov used something like "vagina" or "inside her", it's unnecessary.

This is close to the truth.
Her heat.
Warmth.
Slit.
Sex.
vagoo
soggy paneer
cunny
Vulcanize the whoopee stick
In the ham wallet
Cattle prod the oyster ditch
With the lap rocket
Batter dip the cranny ax
In the gut locker
Retrofit the pudding hatch
With the boink swatter
Marinate the nether rod
In the squish mitten
Power drill the yippee bog
With the dude piston
Pressure wash the quiver bone
In the bitch wrinkle
Cannonball the fiddle cove
With the pork steeple
If I get you in the loop when I make a point to be straight with you then
In lieu of the innuendo in the end know my intent though
I Brazilian wax poetic so pathetically

It's a matter of tone. I recently read a book where one irreverent character refers to a group of sexual priestesses as 'holy cunts.' The profanity is appropriate here, when it would be risible elsewhere.
Labia, to me, seems a versatile term.

Make up your own word for it, then have your characters use it like slang.
feminine penis
"hoo haa"
"mr vagoo"
or
STEAK CAVE

in the second of Robert Anton Wilson's "Schrodinger's Cat" books he pretended to avoid the attention of the censors by using the names of Supreme Court Justices for genitals.
so you'd get a woman shouting "STICK YOUR REHNQUIST IN MY FENSTEIN"
weird part was, by the end of the book it seemed natural.
Dude the proper term got a womans genitals, if your simply referring to the outside is VULVA
if you're looking for vague words for it then use the weird shit in those grandma romance novels about Scottish men being buff and shit.
Target your audience. Sexy part, use sexy words.
Also woman feel different then men for some words. Only use" gross" words if you're appealing to 4chan cucks who hate women.

This.
Look at Faust, for example. The only place in which it is implied that Faust has sex with Gretchen, is at the end of the bit with the forest/cave, where he says he's going to visit her, and Mephistopheles says something like:
>"You don't mean-"
>writing and actually describing sex
well lump yourself in with the modernists my boy, you're doomed.
innuendo
between her legs, up her skirt, etc.
>>8259785
I don't see what's wrong with this approach. If it's simply narration it seems very appropriate.
>>8259771

Or make up a sarcastic name that references your discomfort with any of the existing names.
Wizard sleeve
China
OP could you give some context? Can't really choose a euphemism without knowing the general tone/ genre.
Loch
>>8259871
Could you give an example? Are you saying you can imply they had sex, but don't write the actual scene? Or just describe everything around them but the act itself? The moonlight outside, the apartment furniture, etc?

My last girlfriend called it her Judy since before I met her. Judy was my Grandmother's name. You should call it what your character who has it, calls it.

It only describes ones specific part of the vagina. It's like referring to a penis as foreskin.
Also don't listen to the people telling you should only vaguely imply sex. The amount of anatomical detail is up to your story's demands, as is how clinical, silly or dirty you want it. Do you really need a word for all of it, or a specific part?
>>8259771
refer it as ''her diary''

I dated a girl who had the same first name as my mom. That was weird.
What you said makes me think, what do girls call their own vagoos? I always think of my penis as "my dick" or sometimes "Little Anon." Do they think of their vaginas in the same rude lewd terms as men do? My ex called it a "pussy" but she only talked about it when I was supposed to be doing things to it, in the heat of the moment so to speak, and my other ex called it "her cat" but I doubt she always thought of it with cute euphemisms, because she was a tough girl, and very lewd.

Either "A gaping maw of deserting mucous" or "A soft, delicate, and inviting rose," depending upon the narrator. Bonus if you manage to use both in the same paragraph.

Of course it doesn't feel that way, of course it reads as tasteless to you. It's because you're afraid of women's sexuality like that anon said.

That should be enough to not be repetitive in your writing, OP.
>>8259771
if you have to refer to it, it's a cunt
but you really shouldn't have to describe the mechanics of the fucking unless that's somehow independently important
did she get kicked in the cunt?
is she just getting fucked? if so, you don't have to point out "in the cunt" you mong
