about the least smutty word I could write...

[severity_softly]

Could I use the word "vagina" any more in this fic? Seriously, so not sexy. And yet, Severus refuses to allow slang the slightest foothold when it comes to female genitalia. Should I apologize in advance for the use of "vagina" in smut fic?

At least he's not calling it a "hoo-ha": When Remus finally pressed his lips against Severus' newly acquired hoo-ha, Severus trembled with desire. XD

Use even more precise words, like labia and clitoris. Labia is kind of nice. Or use cunt. I like cunt, it's very smutty, and once you get past your initial reluctance, its brevity seems cool.

Cunt is my favorite "bad word."

MINE TOO!

I was definitely intending to use clitoris, but I hadn't thought of labia. That's is sort of nice, actually. Just can't think of a non-slang whole for the whole thing together. *g*

I love the word cunt, actually. It's my favorite curse word, and it's a shame I can't use it more often. ;) Not sure it flies in this fic, though, at least not yet. :(

Wow... only in fandom could I have a conversation like this. XD

The whole thing together? is the genitals. I don't know. It's better, if you are trying to write smut, to be specific, I think. If a person changes gender, you get to write about how different it feels in a lot of parts. Euphemize! Inner thighs!

Oh, I agree. They're just taking their sweet time even getting down to the detailed parts down there. :)
