Personally, I find as many "conventional" descriptions of erotica as not-hot as men-porn or slash, but I guess I'm minority on that. To some degree, these alien women may really react that way, so standard man porn only asks me to suspend my disbelief the once, at the very start
Kaylee: Captain seem a little funny to you at breakfast this morning? Wash: Come on, Kaylee. We all know I'm the funny one.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Forgive me for interrupting this interesting discussion, but Nutty's tagline broke me.
"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
This is even more of a mind boggler in UK English, which translates the above as Spock being on a male somebody's ladyparts. Are we talking Kirk sexchange Mpreg?
(I mean, I'm sure it's out there.)

No, in America, your fanny is a cute way of talking about your butt.

And it's all English, which makes it so much funnier.

nods.
Yes indeed, fanny = butt - it's an ongoing source of entertainment. Just checking that it wasn't Kirk Sexchange Mpreg, 'cause you never can tell. ;)
So you read:
"Mister Spock is on his butt, sir. Reports heavy damage."
and I read
"Mister Spock is on his pussy, sir. Reports heavy damage."
And upon reflection, I'm still not sure which is funnier.

Wrod.ETA: I remember reading where JM had a similar encounter with "fit" which to us= healthy and buff but as you know, for your lot=hot and sexy. So he was on UK TV and the host says " You're looking fit, James." And JM says "Yeah, well, I work out." and gets a HUGE laugh.

I've seen the butt variation.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
(FWIW, the quote is from a Bloom County cartoon, where a bunch of animals are riding with a paraplegic man on his wheelchair = Starship Enterprise, only they don't all fit, and Opus = Mister Spock falls off. Onto his butt. It is way, way funnier than I have just described it.)
(No, Opus does not have female parts.)

I love Bloom County. This week's Opus was a nice reminder of Bloom County at its best. Many of them have been, I dunno, a bit too nasty of late.
I like Nutty's theory of specialized language for porn. It makes some kind of sense to me.
Speaking of fic, since that's where we are, Thea just posted a lovely little Buffy post-Not Fade Away snippet here.
