Z - A Cover Art Image Search ~ 2013DONE

(view spoiler)[Duration: One year – indicate your start date. However, don't start until January 1, 2013.

Goal: Read one book for each letter of the alphabet. So, a different “cover image” must be chosen for each letter. State the image you have chosen for each when you list your books. For the letter x, you may use a word with x within it. (Thanks, Susan, for pointing this out. ☺)

Rules: You may post your books in advance or as you read them. Edit your list as you read or re-posting with each update. You may use re-reads. You may use any format: paper, e or audio. You may use books from any genre. Anthologies are fine, if you read all the stories. Please indicate how many you have read related to how many you plan to read.

You DON'T have to read in reverse-alphabetical order ー we just like to do things backwards in this group; therefore, I posted them that way below for you to copy - just for fun.

I'm waiting for you to post another educational naughty list like you did last year :-P

[ShoSho , Moderator]

Yes please do !Good memories ;)

[Elishia]

ha ha ok i'll dig one up be very afraid

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

**hee hee** Okay, I'm waiting... impatiently, LOL!

[Elishia]

I'm going to educate you in the next half hour, just need to find the thing i'm looking for ☺

[ShoSho , Moderator]

Yeeepeee

[Elishia]

Some of these make me want to vomit so be prepared
(view spoiler)[BDSM - The compound acronym, BDSM, is derived from the terms bondage and discipline (B&D, B/D, or BD), dominance and submission (D&s, D/s, or Ds), sadism and masochism (S&M, S/M, or SM).

Bareback - Anal intercourse without a condom.

Bear - A gay man that has a lot of body and/or facial hair. Bears are often considered to have "cuddly" bodies.

Bottom - Term used to describe the partner who is penetrated during anal sex.

Buggery - The crime of anal intercourse between two men. Adopted into English law by Henry VIII as the Buggery Law of 1533. The term buggery was derived derived from the French bougres, which means "heretical."

Chan - A term in fan fiction- usually smut- to indicate that a character is underage, and still a child (under 18)

Cockring - A ring that is placed around a man's penis, usually at the base, primarily to slow the flow of blood from the erect penile tissue, thus maintaining erection for a longer period of time. Cock rings can be worn around just the penis or penis and scrotum, or just the scrotum alone.

DP - Double Penetration

Daddy - An older gay man who often seeks younger men.

ETA - Edited to Add - usually used when the content has been changed or updated by the original poster

Felching - Sexual practice involving the act of sucking semen out of the vagina or anus of one's partner after sex.

Figging - Refers to the act of inserting a piece of ginger root into the anus or vagina as a form of BDSM.

Fisting (handballing) - Sex involving insertion of the hand into the anus. Though possible, rarely is the hand initially inserted while balled in a fist. The hand enters the anus slowly while the fingers are straight and together, then balled into a fist once fully inserted. "Punching" is the term used when the hand is forcefully inserted while initially in a fist. Done properly, anal fisting stimulates the prostate.

Fluffer - Nickname for the person hired by pornographic video companies to arouse their adult actors between takes. This person can be male or female.

Frottage - Also known as dry humping, is sex without penetration where both partners rub or grind on each other to achieve an orgasm

GFP - Gay For Pay

GFY - Gay For You

GLBT - Acronym used to reference the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender community of people

Golden Shower - Common term used to describe the act of urinating, watching urination or being urinated upon during sex.

Guiche - The area at the base of the ballsack, forward of the anus (perineum). This area is a popular area for piercing.

HEA - Happily Ever After

HFN - Happy For Now

IMO - In My Opinion

MC - Main Character(s)

Mpreg - Male Pregnancy

NSFW - Not Safe For Work

OFY - Out For You

OOC - Out Of Character

OOT - Out Of Time Line

Otter - A skinny or thin bear (see bear above)

PNP (Party and Play) - Individual or group sex while using drugs or alcohol.

PWP - Porn Without Plot(most common definition)

Pansexual - someone who is attracted to other people regardless of their gender or sexual orientation. The word pansexual is used as an inclusive term as opposed to bisexual, as bisexuality only refers to people liking both men and women, and does not including a wider variety of gender neutral or gender fluid terminology.

Pegging- A sexual practice in which a woman penetrates a man's anus with a strap-on dildo. In the broader sense it can refer to penetration with any object.

Perineum - The area between the scrotum and anus. Nicknamed "highway to heaven" because this sensitive area of skin leads to the anus.

Prince Albert (PA) - A piercing on the penis that punctures the urethra and exits through the meatus.

Prostate Massage (milking) - Prostate massage is also used for sexual stimulation, either to achieve a pleasurable orgasm, or to achieve excretion of seminal fluid without orgasm as part of BDSM orgasm denial activities. The term prostate milking is sometimes used in this latter context.

Queen - A man having feminine qualities.

Raw - Another term for barebacking.

Rimming (Anilingus) - Oral stimulation of the anus.

Scarfing - The practice of intentionally reducing the amount of oxygen to the brain during sexual stimulation in order to heighten the received pleasure from orgasm.

Size Queen - A gay or bisexual man that is obsessed with the size of their partner's penis. A size queen may use penis size as a major or single factor in determining a suitable partner.

Slash - Gay fan fiction (or fanfic) where the heterosexual relationships of the main characters in popular novels are changed into gay, lesbian, bisexual or homoerotic relationships.

Slow Burn - Refers to a lack of rushed intimacy but rather a slow build up of sexual tension.

Smegma - The secretion of a gland under the foreskin, specifically the white, cheesy, sebaceous matter that collects between the glans and the foreskin

Snowballing - The practice in which semen is passed from the mouth of the fellator to the mouth of the ejaculator while kissing.

Sounds or Penis Wands - Instruments for probing and dilating passages within the body, the best-known examples of which are urethral sounds.

Spit Roast - A sexual activity involving 3 people, two active males and one passive (male or female). Man 1 penetrates person 2 from the rear (anal or vaginal) while he/she sucks the penis of person 3.

Stromo - A gay man with the style and demeanor typically associated with heterosexual or straight men.

Switch - One who is both a top and a bottom in the leather sense, and switches back and forth.

TSTL - Too Stupid To Live

Taint - Slang for perineum. See above for the definition of perineum.

Teabagging - is a slang term for the act of a man placing his scrotum in the mouth or on or around the face (including the top of the head) of another person, often in a repeated in-and-out motion.

Testicle Cuff - A ring-shaped device around the scrotum between the body and the testicles such that when closed it does not allow the testicles to pass through it.

Top - The penetrating partner during anal sex

Transgender - A transgender person is one who dresses as, desires to be, has undergone surgery to become or identifies as a person of the opposite sex. These individuals represent the "T" in GLBTQ and can be drag queens, transvestites or transsexuals.

Transsexual - A person who identifies as a member of the opposite sex. Transsexuals usually desire physical alteration of their bodies to bring them closer to the sex in which they identify.

Transvestite - The term "transvestite" is often incorrectly used in reference to a person that cross dresses and is considered defamatory.

Trick - A one night stand or anonymous sexual partner.

Twink - Common term used to describe a young or young looking gay man.

Twincest - Refers to a storyline involving an incestuous relationship between twins.

UST - Unresolved Sexual Tension

Versatile Top - A versatile top is comfortable with a shared dominance in gay relationships; however sexually, enjoy being a top more than a bottom.

Water Sports - Common term used to describe the act of urinating, watching urination or being urinated upon during sex. Urophiliacs are aroused by the sight, touch or smell of urine. The person may consume the urine (urophagia) or bath in it. (hide spoiler)]

[Lina]

I was going down the list, nodding at teh things I knew, raising my eyebrows at some new terms, when one just stopped me in my tracks.

Mpreg - Male Pregnancy

Male pregnancy???? What have I missed?

ok, now to continue with the list...

(btw, the pic links only work for members of that group)

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Whoa. Babe. Okay, I knew quite a few of these...but only because I had a dear friend years ago that worked on a crisis line in San Francisco. They had to go through a rigorous "desensitization" course first (consider the area!). He told me a lot. We had to learn stuff in Nursing School, too... but not like he did.

Still, Elishia, that was over thirty years ago...So more than I was expecting was new to me.

Thanks for the update! LOL!

[ShoSho , Moderator]

Very enlightening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw this category a while ago, there are a bunch books that have male pregnancy in them. I saw a review and started searching. They just eliminate females and the male does the birthing, hehe .can't remember any of those books thouvh

[Elishia]

@CaroB I have to read a book with this in for a challenge, i'll be saving it for last coz it freaks me out a bit.

Lol I didn't know half of these things, I remember reading a book that had (view spoiler)[ filching in he got a straw out and I still didn't know where it was going (hide spoiler)]. I'm off to make a folder on pinterest to post them in for you guys to see ☺

Strawwwwwwwwwwww?

[Elishia]

Yep. Are you picturing it? This was one of the first m/m books I read as well (i've posted the scene)
(view spoiler)[He was about to say so, when Thom’s lips sealed themselves around his hole and sucked. Hard.
Phil let out a high-pitched, breathy shriek. “Oh, my God. Oh my God. Are you…? Oh. My. God.”
He felt Thom’s mouth curl into a grin, then warm breath on his now highly sensitive entrance as Thom laughed. “Don’t tell me nobody’s ever sucked their own come out of your ass.”
Like that’s so common, he intended to say. I’m sure everybody does it. Not. What actually came out was, once again, “Oh. My God.”
He grimaced. Way to sound like a broken record, stud.
Snickering, Thom gave Phil’s hole a quick swipe of his tongue. “Got a straw?”
The resulting mental image gave Phil a fit of most unmanly giggles. “Gross!”
“Oh, that’s gross, but me sucking it straight out of your butt isn’t.” (hide spoiler)]

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Elisha, I had heard of that one. I didn't know what (view spoiler)["Chan" was. Or that dry humping was referred to as "Frottage." "Pansexual" "Twincest" and "Pegging" were new to me, too, as far as lingo. Recently just learned the term "Teabagging." (hide spoiler)]

[Elishia]

[Elishia]

There was a film out about 10 years ago that had some girl saying (view spoiler)[ Tea-bagging (hide spoiler)]so I learnt it then. Some of the rest I still don't know as they haven't come up in any books i've read yet, but quite a lot have.

[Lina]

Consider this your voluntary educational community service! Lol!

[Elishia]

[Lina]
