Your story to a point was doing and progressing fine, then it abruptly fell apart. What caused the change, your use of the wrong spelling form of a word for the situation being discribed. Its the use of “come” when properly is should have been “cum” when referring to semen or an orgasm; minor true but has great impact on quality of a story.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Uhm… No.<\/p>\n

http:\/\/dictionary.reference.com\/browse\/come?s=t<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0slang <\/em> to have an orgasm<\/p>\n

“Come” is the word that was in use long before me.\u00a0 In fact, the same definition will point out that semen also shares this word, though I prefer “cum” for the noun.<\/p>\n

The modern version of “cum” is just too problematic with respect to climax.\u00a0 Sorry, but “cummed” is just too 13-year-old text messaging for my taste, and “cumming” isn’t much better.<\/p>\n

I get this message every so often, and it always makes me roll my eyes.\u00a0 If it was a suggestion of a preferred spelling<\/em> in the commentator’s opinion, I wouldn’t have a problem.\u00a0 I can certainly respect that and see where they’re coming<\/em> from.<\/p>\n

( Pardon the pun *laugh* )<\/p>\n

There’s something to be said for a different spelling that singles out the orgasmic version of come from its vanilla cousin.<\/p>\n

However, it’s always someone trying to tell me that I’m wrong<\/em>, when all it takes is a look at a dictionary — any dictionary — to see otherwise.<\/p>\n

My preferred version of the word is every bit as legitimate — if not more so —\u00a0and has a far longer history than yours, so there! *laugh*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
