I feel like I’m the only person comfortable with the word “cock”…
…but super uncomfortable with the word “dick”.
Personally, I feel like “cock” sounds more appropriate in sexual contexts, while “dick” sounds better in non-sexual contexts.
Example:
“I’m stroking my dick” and “I have a tattoo on my cock” both sound a little awkward to me. Whereas “I’m stroking my cock” and “I have a tattoo on my dick” sound more natural.
That’s just me though. Any thoughts?
I definitely agree with uncutting. ‘Cock’, to me, has so many more sexual connotations whereas ‘dick’ is practically like saying penis.
