Sex slang question:
What’s the standard equivalent of “hard-on” for someone with girl bits.

I’ve heard hard-on used for an erect clitoris before, but rarely and i can’t think of an alternative.

-

I’ve heard “lady boner” but it’s not tonally equivalent, and in queer fiction raises anatomy question if you don’t know how the person is configured down there.

@az This footage is essential for any writer. Study it. Download it. Hollywood tends to overplay sounds or visuals in things like gunshots and explosions. They are really more like pops or bangs, small sonic booms, instantly over. In this video you see the land, thousands of square miles, simply move with little more fanfare than a rumble. Nature and physics is like that, simple, irresistible, then all done in a heartbeat, death in a wink, thank you very much for witnessing, hope you enjoyed the show, and devastating. Authors need to get this right, because the subtly of an explosion in a pop when parts rain down, or earth movement where cities crumble is more horrific than Hollywood depicts.
