A psychologist has claimed that 'c*#k is the most erotic word ever.
Mark Allen Thornton went through 300,000 erotic stories and used data of 65,000 authors who published their work on fiction site Literotica, and found that the most popularly used word was "c*#k", the Mirror reported.
According to Thornton, about 2/3rds of the stories he evaluated were written by men, and the study also showed that most of the turning on stories were about penises rather than vaginas.
Other popular words were: p*##y, a*#hole, master, mom, mouth, tongue, blood.
It was also found that while older women were likelier to be into BDSM and end up getting kinkier then men, younger women were more interested in celebrity fantasies and group sex stories, and older women in relationships are less kinky than single men.
