trying to write smut that takes place in the 50s. be honest, would using ‘dick’ break time period immersion? would using ‘penis’ be too formal? is there a secret third option?

honestly I think we lack an understanding of how people used to talk dirty because that sort of language wasn’t recorded as much back then (and bc people were more conservative about opening talking about sex). Kind of makes me want to find 1950s porn, if it even exists

Yes! I find it also interesting that a lot of terminology and jokes we have today (like 69, for example) has been around for like 100 years But I’ll pass on the 50s porn 😂

OP you may be interested in researching 50s slang, old magazines, and figures like Bettie Page

ive been looking into it but haven’t found any super good sources for common genitalia slang — mostly i see the ‘funny ones’ online, but i doubt that’s what people would actually use in their day to day lives

there’s already a character who’s name sounds like the f-slur so i don’t think i could get away with a guy named dick as well 😭
