This times a thousand. All epithets do is make me laugh and backbutton. "The ex-CIA assassin opened Harold's pants and took out the genius's cock." This makes me think a) three people are having sex or b) one of them is going to assassinate the one who stole someone else's cock.

What the heck does someone's profession have to do with anything when they're having sex?

Not to mention, in Highlander fiction it becomes even more hilarious because people's physical age has zero to do with what they look like. So you have "the older man" being 5000 years old and *looking* like much younger than the younger man. Try working that out as you're zipping through a fic. It's almost impossible without stopping dead and shaking your head, hard.

Unnecessary epithets are a joke. It's easy enough to restructure the sentence to be less confusing or repeat the person's name. I keep to using epithets only when the POV character is meeting someone for the first time. Or if they have amnesia.
