hehehe -- Can I tell you something from the other side of the mirror? I have trouble trying to come to grips with trying to "Americanize" my stories. I guess I'm a lazy writer sometimes, but quite a few years ago I made the conscious decision to standardize a few things, like limiting myself to "ass" or "butt" where the English/Brits might use a multitude of variations (bum, backside, bottom, etc. -- and I'd never use "arse" even if I was writing for a local audience) and "pussy" for the 'front bottom' ;-) Unless dialog calls for it, I'd have a real aversion to the 'C' word, 'vagina' is something my doctor would say, and 'sex' is, well, copulation between two people and a terrible euphemism as far as I'm comcerned. I mostly use breasts as a shorthand for tits, etc. tho in real life I'd more likely say boobs or even boobies, just because they're those silly Brit words that are familiar and fun to say and would sound out of place in any heavy sex story (laziness factor at play again).

Incidentally, I posted a couple of my bloomer pics for you on my blog
