You know what? Everyone has their own comfort zones with this stuff. I respect that you don't like it. But seriously, a "better" word? Everyone has different ideas for what makes a word good.

Personally, I'll pick whatever word I think my POV character would use. Based on my personal experience, this normally leads to male characters thinking of the relevant anatomy as "cock" or sometimes "dick," because honestly I don't think I've ever met a guy who didn't default to one of those most of the time. Girlbits are more confusing, because there's not as strong a consensus for words, so it takes a bit more thought.

That's not a right answer. Many people who I see commenting prefer to use a term that fits the mood of the scene rather than the vocabulary of the POV character, and that's also fine.

You... I don't know what you like, OP, and I'm a bit curious. But honestly, I don't think I'll be changing my ways because you find some words distasteful.

Well said. I fully respect someone's right to be put off by the language used in a piece of writing, but telling people to 'find a better word' implies a value judgment. For people with dirty talk kinks (or people writing characters who would use such words as part of their characterization, or people writing characters with dirty talk kinks, etc), sometimes these words are entirely appropriate.

Exactly. It's the implication that there are somehow objectively right and wrong words that bugged me. There aren't. Different people are thrown off by different things. Hey! I've been there! (Moist feminine delta? WTF, is he getting it on with the Nile here? That just sounds geographic. And like there might be mosquitoes.) But the idea that your preferences are somehow more valid than others... not so much.
