Which are some of your favorite or least favorite "come hither" phrases you've found in fic or other types of media? Which ones give you heaps of second hand embarrassment? What was the delivery/context that made something work (when it otherwise wouldn't?)

Bonus points if you've ever used any of them in real life!!

I've (to my embarrassment) have used the "old enough" phrase when I was, in fact, very much not old enough and trying to act grown lmao. 13 year old me really thought I was cute lol

"Bed. Now." works in the context of a dominant giving an order to a submissive pretty easily. As in, used as one of many given orders.

What's the old enough phrase?

OP

Fair, that works. I've seen it before and it usually makes me roll my eyes because "oh yes, so dominant" and the general context it's too corny, I can't suspend my disbelief (and if I was, the use of that phrase brings me right out).

The old enough phrase is usually a response (in the context I've used it/seen it used) in which an older man asks a younger woman "how old are you?" To which the young woman (usually barely legal) responds "old enough" (the implication being she's grown enough to engage with him and adult activities). In my specific example, it was 16 y/o guy at a party when I was about 13. So it wasn't even that serious lol.

Yeah, like... "Bed. Now." can work for me, depending on the characters and how their D/s relationship is presented... but I also get how sometimes it just... really doesn't.

It's not intrinsically bad but it's just been so overused at this point that it takes me out of the story even where it otherwise might make sense.

Honestly my absolute favorite is when the characters don't have to say any words at all. Maybe they are both just too horny to speak, or maybe they know each other so well they don't have to ask to know. Just, two characters looking at each other and then stripping their clothes off. Nothing is hotter to me.

Another thing would be one character just walking into the room and stripping off their clothes. Again, no words, just saying what they want with their actions. Or a character just getting started on their own, daring the other to join in.

For actual phrases, "bed, now" or "knees, now" works well in the right context. Or ordering other people out of the room.

"Like what you see?" "you can touch it if you want" Or similar kind of phrase where one character is working to seduce/tempt the other. Or when two characters are working to seduce a third.

"I have a present for you" where a character offers themselves as a present.

Characters just bluntly saying what they want.

Anything involving characters being so turned on they are begging.

Seconding the first bit. I was trying to remember ANY phrases like this, even in fics I wrote so I should remember such phrases... and even the OTP I've written a lot is never saying anything, they're just physically dragging each other over to the bed or shoving them against the wall.

So I guess not having a come-hither phrase because their mouths are already too busy is my favorite. :D

(askdfljk, oh noooo, I definitely have a WIP where I have one character say this to another character. Whatever, I'm keeping it. I like it.)

Hey don't worry about it, p much any phrase ever can be wonderful or cheesy depending on the context, and if you're having fun and you like the phrase then go for it! :D

OP

Oh anon, totally keep it! Especially if you're having fun and like it! It's just a personal peeve(too strong a word) of mine. Sometimes done well (subjective) most times just cliché (but if you like it, then you like it!) I'm sure I've down things that make people roll their eyes as well lol

My preference is minimal talking because it's all just too urgent. And when there is talking, it's begging. Or praising, praising is good--particularly if the other character has a praise kink. Or if the character is trying to talk but can't get more than a couple of words out to save their life because the sensations are making them nonverbal.

What was the delivery/context that made something work (when it otherwise wouldn't?)

I've always HATED "Sir" in BDSM scenes. I just can't stand it. I'm also not a huge fan of formalized BDSM in general, which is definitely part of the issue for me. But even when the BDSM scene is working for me, I've still always hated "Sir."

Then I got into Starker, and Peter calling Tony "Sir" is a thing I find ridiculously hot. Not in a BDSM context though, just in the context of it being an honorific Peter sometimes used in the years before they were together, so then once they become intimate it sometimes just slips out, still, except now there's a kind of lowkey D/s quality to it that turns them both on.
