I’m writing a romance novel where the two leads are both sex nerds – that is to say, people who are passionately geeky and analytical about sexuality – and it’s making me more aware than ever: Sex nerds are my favorite kind of people. We are relentlessly curious, unabashedly dedicated to the pursuit of pleasure, and (if I may say so) often quite hilarious and charming. And of course, it goes without saying that if you take us to bed, we will do our damnedest to make it good for you – and we will have done the required reading in advance!
I get along so well with fellow sex nerds, in fact, that I wish there were better ways for us to recognize each other ‘in the wild,’ aside from our subtle sex toy jewelry, enamel pins from sex conferences, etc.! As-is, I mostly meet them in environments specifically designed to attract them, like fisting workshops and vintage porn screenings… and when I do, I’m always glad to know so many weird sex facts I can bust out at a moment’s notice to impress my fellow dorks.
Sharing is caring, as the saying goes, so here are a few such facts that I’ll gift to you, so you can gift them to your future sex-nerd crushes like beautiful little vulva-shaped flowers…
The plural of clitoris is clitorides.
