Recently I have been doing a lot of writing outside of the world of my normal erotic articles and advice posts about sex. Though I love writing about my experiences and digging through research to help my readers have the best sex lives ever; I have been focusing on a new career pivot, writing erotic fiction. When I first started as a writer, I was a fiction writer, though not a dirty fiction writer like I am now.

Writing erotic fiction has led me down the path of finding new words to say ‘getting it on’. As my characters were getting down and dirty, I realized pretty quickly there were only so many ways you could use to describe a man’s penis. This brought me to a serious research topic… how many different words could I find that was fitting to use instead of penis?

The answer was a lot, actually. Many more than the eighteen that are listed below. However, a lot of slang terms that I found I knew there was no way I could use with a straight face. Below are the terms I thought were actually great alternatives to the word penis and when exactly you can start adding them to your vocabulary.
