Yea or Nea... Is 'cunt' an appropriate descriptor for a pussy (vagina.)

[CyberJim]

Recently read a post where the member described the provider's vagina as a 'cunt.'
Just wondering how everyone feels about that term. To my mind it is quite derogatory (unless you're doing a private dirty talking session, and only the provider should say it).
With all this talk of 'rape culture' and degrading women in general (again, ok if you request it and she/ he agrees), I'm wondering if it's just political correctness gone nuts, or if that is a term that should be reserved for the privacy of the bed room, massage table, back seat of a car, or in them bushes.

I'm not a fan of it. If you have one, you can say it, otherwise don't.

 

[badbadboy]

Using the C word with a SO of GF is equivalent to using the N word.

You want to get someone's attention in a bad way, use it.

Flip side of the coin. A Brit friend of mine has referred to his 'mates' as lovely cunts. Go figure, it sounds good rolling off his lips.

 

[Lo-ki]

I very seldom use the word...but I do know a few..

I never use the word, but I do remember how I learned it. I had just started junior high school, and the route I walked to school led me across a wooden bridge. There was all sorts of graffiti carved into the bridge railings, but one I noticed was "I lick girls cunts". I had no idea what it meant, and it was so crudely carved that it looked to me like "I lick girls gunts". I eventually asked a slightly-older friend what it meant, and was told "It's like a girl's dink". It took a few months before I learned how to say and spell it, and a few years before I understood it (if I even do understand it now). I'm old enough that sex education barely existed at that time.

It is just a slang word for a vagina, like many other similar words. There are plenty of similar words for a penis as well. There is no reason to place any particular one in a special category if the others are freely used.

I never use the word cunt except to describe the asshole who steals my parking spot .

But why Pussy or Beaver. Both those have sharp teeth!

 

[gynophile]

To me it's a beautiful Old English word, a lovely word for a lovely thing, but I understand most people,feel differently, so I've only used it with women I have a real understanding with.

It's a really fun word to say and honestly, I don't understand why it's considered derogatory. badbadboy likened it to using the N Word and I don't agree with that. the "C" word hasn't been associated with hundreds of years of oppression in the same way. Also, we have derogatory words for penis that is also used to describe a generally unlikable person and is equally fun to say. So I would say, exercise caution in public, but go nuts otherwise. In the end aren't we all a little Cunty?

 

[Chef99]

I find it very crass. Along the same lines as "ho". Not at all respectful...

 

[Oldfart]

Shakespeare loved talking about vaginas. Some euphemisms he used are:
BIRD’S NEST
BOX UNSEEN
CRACK
FLOWER
FORFENDED PLACE
Hole
NEST OF SPICERY
NETHERLANDS
PILLICOCK-HILL
SALMON’S TAIL
SECRET PARTS
VENUS’ GLOVE
WITHERED PEAR
WOUND
And, of course, "country matters."

 

[tiger69]

To me it's the most erotic word. It's a trigger actually- if a woman says "my cunt" rather than "my pussy" it's a certain way to get me even more excited.

 

[take8easy]

I have never used it here while reviewing or otherwise and I have no intention of using it ever. I rarely even use the p **sy word.

Now, having said that, if the person I was having sex with me found it erotic, I think I will make an exception to the rule. I know I will because one of my phone sex used it a lot especially when we were heading towards the peak. But hey! She started it !!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been known to use it in the bedroom when things are going hot & heavy! As for whether it's derogatory or not, it's all about HOW it's used...I'd be offended if you called me a cunt (unless I REALLY deserved it), but if you said to me "Erica you have the most incredible..." in an admiring manner, I would like that a great deal...

 

[whitemoustache]

Shakespeare wrote Modern English, and thus his pun 'country matters' can be understood today. The Middle English is coynt, and I have yet to find it in Old English, because so few ribald tales were written down in those days. Choose your words carefully when describing venereal anatomy, gentlemen, lest you find what you desire closed, bolted and barred!:ranger:

 

[bdan]

As others have said, it depends on the connotation.

It could be an incredibly provocative put down or a "hot" mind blowing brain poke.
Depends.

 

[Bridge]

Apparently the word cunt lost its appeal in polite English society during the fourteenth century and so Chaucer used words like quente and queynte instead in The Wife of Bath's Prologue.

Now that's a sane and sensible response
I find the whole "ranking" of swear words or body part slang ridiculous.
Who decided cock, dick and pussy are ok but cunt isn't?
It's all semantics....

 

[bdan]

Semantics NMR? Were I to call you, with vitriol, any of those words, would it be semantics? Doubt it...

 

[CyberJim]

Sounds like something a dick would say.

Like the above?

Look at all the words for a dick (that I can think of) : dick, dink, cock, penis. None are as bad as cunt. I can't think of one that is as derogatory to men as cunt is to women. A pushy guy is assertive or a jerk or an asshole, a women is a bitch or a cunt.... No comparison to my mind. It's only lately that the word assertive has come to be used to describe women, and then only rarely.
