Using the same example, if somebody wants me to go somewhere, they aren't going to text, "Come FOR me." It makes no sense, and it's not enough information. Where am I going? Why am I doing it for you? Unless we've had a previous conversation where I said I didn't want to go somewhere they wanted to go, and they did it as a sort of plea.

Back to Austin, there are tons of ways that statement could face infelicities (see the "somewhere they wanted to go" example), but that's really not the matter at hand. The matter is that "cum" and "come" are essentially the same word, this poll is just figuring out how people prefer to spell it. "Come" and "cum," spoken, mean the same thing when they are spoken because there's no spelling in speaking unless you're verbally spelling something out.

So it wouldn't matter if you personally spelled it "cum" or "come" in your head during speaking, because given the situation, people are going to hear it and know what you want. Really, there's a huge difference between coming to someone's house and coming during sex, and like I said, if we're mid-fuck and I say "come" and you think I want you to walk across the room, I don't want your stupid ass. How you want to spell it is a personal preference.

There are ambiguities in language, of course; I personally believe every person has their own individual vernacular, which is what leads to those ambiguities. But the point I'm trying to make is that the difference between come (sexual) and come (movement) doesn't leave much room for ambiguity. less

I don't know if this is me being a prude or old fashioned or a language Nazi or whatever, but I've never liked "cum." For me it's just... ugh. I've got absolutely no problem with kink or vulgarity, but that one word gets to me. I'm cool with seriously freaky bedroom behavior but I cringe when I read "cum."

I'm curious as to other people's thoughts on "cum" versus "come" as terms to describe achieving orgasm. At the end of the day it's all good, but what's your preference? less
