What Should She Call It??

All right, I've gotten a lot of advise in reviews and a bit on Twitter. I have no idea which direction I will go, but at some point, Isabella is going to have to have a name for Edward's schlong. Yes, "manhood" and "member" might have been common, especially in Harlequin, but I have a personal "thing" against them (haha). It's just me, but I don't like them.

Several people have sent me "ye olde slang" for a penis, including tarse, pintle, and verge.

"Oh, my Edward! Skewer me with you hot, throbbing verge!"

Hmmm....maybe. What do you think? Got some other words to share?

    From what I see after 10 minutes of Googling, it looks like "cock" started to be used as a penis euphemism during Medieval times, so you can get away with the "classic." And you can't go wrong with "shaft," IMO.

    I'm a fan of "shaft", which is the word I intended in my review but I couldn't think of it.

    Little Lord? Although his Lord might not be so little... how about just My Lord. That would be so cute. And she won't have to stop calling Edward that. Well, not really, anyway.

    I just ran a google search and found the word "weapon".

    But I also found this quote. I thought it was funny.

    "Unsheath thy glorysword, kind Sir, and kindly direct it if you will at my lady's mantle piece."

    I'm really not recommending this because I did a gigglesnort when I read it and I think you want that reaction to your lemon. :-)

    Cock is the word! It was used in medieval times and is used today. And it is a lot sexier than shaft.

    Trying to solve this dilemma mathmatically (I am a math teacher, after all).

    Cubit? Too ancient a term, besides, it originally meant the the length of a man's arm from elbow to end fingertips. No wonder Bella is terrified.

    Span? A Middle Ages term for the distance from the tip of the thumb to the tip of the little finger, or sometimes to the tip of the forefinger, when the hand is fully extended; the space equivalent to this taken as a measure of length, averaging nine inches. (ref: http://www.personal.utulsa.edu/~marc-carlson/history/measure.html)

    "My Edward, I'd like to stroke your span."

    "My lady, I'd like to push my span into your cunt"

    Well, anyway, you get the idea. : )

    phallus?

    I looked up penis in different languages, not sure if any of these are fitting but it is an interesting read :)

    I left some other choices in my review but said if Bella gave it a name, it would be preceded by "Sir." The Sir name I came up with is corny by I like it nonetheless, Sir Lance-a-lot!

    Well, you could always go with some kind of medieval weapons imagery... lol for instance:

    battering ram
    lance
    dagger
    ramrod

    I did some googling too and came up with a few links that might be helpful... and I laughed my ass of just looking up at the quite loquacious ways they define the slang for penis. lol

    I go with staff or rod also...
    "oh Edward, spear my womanhood with your fiery rod. I need its heat at my sex now! I can wait no longer.. Oh please Edward, please give me your rod!"

    Besides, a stiff dick is most certainly a rod (thick, hard and warm)!

    I am a medieval re-enactor, and many of my friends and I have minds in the gutter, and enjoy knowing period terms for the body

    For his Lordship:
    Horn~ where we get horny from
    Thorn~ used in more flowery alligorical refrences
    Lance/Sword/Staff or any long straight weapon~ more commonly used in bawdy jests, not for affection ( thinking laughing with the men around a tankard of ale)
    Cock~ very popular
    Phallus/Member
    Pincil (pencil)
    Loom

    For her Ladyship:
    Cunny (rhymes with bunny)~ Very popular, this is the 17th century spelling, but the word orgin is from the 13th. Cunt was not used, except as an insult-refered to whores- past 1250's
    Quim~ Early 1600's
    Scabbard- Again used more in bawdy jest
    Cave of love/Rose of flesh~ very fluffy language, not really used unless in writing

    my lord. hehe, i like that. it be like private joke to them. Even though i don't think Bella can get away if someone else hear her calling him that specially if they don't know she's referring to his penis.

    I'd go with cock, its always good... but seeing as Isabella is a little shy, she wouldnt be comfortable with that word - well maybe only when hot and bothered. Personally I like the word "sword"... you could use it to make Bella blush when for example Edward talks with Jasper, or maybe choke on her tea when Alice tells her that Edward and Jasper are practicing sword fighting or something ;)

    That would be all... Oh and greetings from Poland ;)

    I agree with Anne, I was thinking lance since they were jousting. Then I got to giggling about having a "lance in my pants"

    Since Edward has dogs, wouldn't they call it a bone? How about any of these:

    spear
    club
    mace
    pole
    heat
