500 Great Words for Writing Love Scenes


Last week, I wrote a post on synonyms for the most intimate parts of the body, which can be helpful when writing a sex scene (or just writing about a character who’s thinking about being in one.) I felt like it would be helpful to have those separated out.
Here, I’ve rounded up all kinds of verbs, nouns, and adjectives you might like to use in the steamy parts of your next story. It can be inspiring to think beyond one’s usual vocabulary.
I have more verbs than anything else, because they’re important. Lots of them can also be nouns–I didn’t list them twice. I haven’t explained the possible contexts for these words, but hopefully you’ll imagine them.
There are actually more than five hundred. You know how it is–you get started, and it’s hard to stop. Anyway, I’m a writer, not a mathematician. Check out the list!
