...but why would anyone pick "spongy" to describe a penis in a sex scene? It's such an unpleasant sounding word. I associate it with mushrooms or maybe moss, not anything arousing.

It does seem to be a minority faction, both on your poll and at the other discussion. Maybe it helps that I think of sponge cake more than the weird sea animal? :D

I'm sure I have run into IC-yet-cringey vocabulary, but aside from the notorious "weeping cock" I can't think of any - not from fanfic, anyway. I suspect my occasional dive into Nifty and Literotica have recalibrated my Awful Sex Words Detector to be a bit more lenient, given the kinds of egregious OTT vocabulary that's popular there!
