I agree, I may use "cum" if I'm writing a dirty text for my boyfriend but... it's for him mostly not me...

I tend to use what others directly effected by my writing use only because I don't like offending people. "Cum" to me is the correct term where as "come" is simply less vulgar. But the word "come" doesn't particularly mean "cum" so it's a mind game lol

I prefer cum as cum is latin for 'with' or 'together with'

So I get why cumming became a word for orgasming as it is something that is most often done together

I also prefer "cum" to "come" as others stated, I don't often associate "come" with orgasm.

To me they are two different words with two different meanings.

I prefer cum.
Come means "to come here" for me personally.
Cum is something I greatly enjoy! hehehe

I personally prefer "come" as well, just because I'm a proper-English type of person and somehow wouldn't be able to think of myself as "cumming". That, and as a kid I knew a family with the last name "Cummings" so I also consider them when my brain decides it likes to use "come" over "cum."

Then again, I think of "cum" as ejaculate or discharge, so to me it's a noun and "to come" is a verb.

Yes. Cum is designated only for orgasms so might as well use it to describe them.

I use "cum" and "come" interchangeably when using it as a noun, but as a verb I only use "come" for the reasons others have been discussed with regards to past tense.

I can't imagine saying to my wife, "Yeah honey, I cummed!" I grew up just outside Appalachia (and apparently with the new borders, grew up IN Appalachia), and I could never get over how adding -ed to every verb to make it past tense was so common there.

I use both words. I don't have a problem with it either way

Case in point: I got a text message from a man whom I was not interested in, but he expressed interest in me. The message said "What time can I cum over?" I thought, would it have been so hard to type in one extra letter to spell 'come' and not gross me out?
In any case, I think of cum as male ejaculate.

I don't have a problem with either one. I generally use "cum", but I don't have an issue using "come" either.

I prefer the word orgasm, myself. Cum is the better of your choices, though. It's not easy to mistake it.

I've never really thought about it, but I alway use "cum" for whatever reason.

No strong preference, but I like "come."

For some reason, when I see "cum" in a review, especially in the summary or the Pros or Cons (but really anywhere in the text, unless someone is trying to be funny) it irks me a little.

I know I get a little clinical sometimes, but a few words bother me. I saw a review that said, "It will have you cumming in no time." and I just went, "Oh, no, please, no." First of all, nobody should assume what will help someone else have an orgasm, least of all, easily or "in no time" and second of all, it wouldn't have hurt to use proper syntax in the review.

Either of the two don't particularly bother me, but I prefer cum. I guess just because come has another actually meaning and cum is just cum.

I've actually been vascillating between the two in my writing. I think I am sticking with cum.

Cum sounds sexier. For some reason, I always thought "cum" means the moment when men ejaculate?

Cum, when i notice something when the spelling is "come" and its referring to sex it actually makes me think that's wrong and is distracting/mood killer

The way I see it....the two terms are "come to" or "cum"

I like the word cum better for orgasm and for sperm. I don't think come really works for that.

Cum seems right to me... and I find many words more offensive than that... cum is fairly neutral really.
