Well ya know…
It’s not completely inappropriate. After all, the clitoris (being analgous to the head of the penis) does get “hard” in pretty much the same sense as the penis does …engorged and throbbing (am I turning anyone on here?).
Still, I stand by my original comment that “wet” is evocative enough.
How the hell does a car make you hard? It’s a car. It goes from Point A to Point B.
Now if you want to talk about something sensible, like this Alienware Aurora ALX, that’s something I can get behind.
rowr Alienware PC’s are teh Hot! 
(intentional use of l33tspeak for ironic purposes)
But have you seen the Z4? Or, for that matter, the 2006 Pontiac Solstice?
Yowsa! 
Cars just don’t do it for me, not even those cars. What can I say, I’m not into autoeroticism.
:smack:
Meh. On the other hand, show me a 1964 E-Type Jag, or an Austin-Healey 3000 and I’m anybody’s.
I’ve never heard a guy say that anything has made him “hard.” Expressions I’ve heard: “…gives me a chubby;” “…woody;” “…boner;” “…hard-on;” “…erection;” “…wood;” and so on and so forth.
I would say that if you are in a situation where such statements are appropriate for a man to say, then you can definately use them. But only if you want to increase your sexiness factor, because the thought of a woman looking at a car and saying “God, that car is giving me a chubby,” is really giving me wood.
As a female-oriented alternative, you could say that the car “is making my nipples hard.” I think that would be the appropriate matching statement. Or you could say, “Oh. My. God. My nipples just got hard.”
Hope that helps.
I use gender-specific expressions indiscriminately, i.e. “He’s such a bitch/slut,” “She had the balls to tell him to fuck off,” “Suck my dick.” It’s funnier that way. I had a roommate in college who would get into mock arguments with me. At least one of them ended with:
“Suck my dick.”
“You don’t have one.”
“Yes, I do. It’s just made of plastic.”
How about the scene in the movie Fever Pitch where Drew and several other women are discussing someone and one of the women comments on how he makes her breasts engorge? And then Drew finds out her boss is waiting for her to give her a promotion and she comments, “God, now my breasts are engorging!”
Dammit, I walked right in to that one… :smack: 
That’s how I feel about '57 Corvettes. Talk about wet… 
Wow, really? I mean, I’ve heard the other expressions, too, but I’ve definitely heard guys say “XYZ gets me hard.” Huh.
Side story: I dated one guy who used “woo” – short for “woody” – for times when he was excited but didn’t have a full-on boner. He’d say that he “had a woo” or that I was “giving him a woo.” It looks goofy in writing, and hearing a grown man say “woo” took some getting used to, but I thought it was kind of neat that he had a term for that state.
You’re not the first guy to say this, but I don’t get how it’s sexy. I’ve always had a lot of guy friends, I’ve never had any hang-ups about sex, and I’ve always appreciated casual sex and the sheer physicality of people. Not surprisingly, therefore, I can be as blunt and/or crude as the next guy. I have no problem with that side of my personality, and it’s not like I go around talking like a Sopranos cast member on a regular basis, but sometimes I wonder if I come across as less than feminine, or like I’m trying too hard to be “one of the guys” or something. I dunno. But I’d be happy to learn that I worry for no reason!
I think that specifiying a body part somehow detracts from the elegance of the phrase. Language nuances are different for everyone, but for some reason I like “I just got hard” or “now I’m hard” better than “my nipples just got hard.” <shrug>
Haven’t seen that version yet.
Yep.
Well, it’s not blunt & crude; if it was, it wouldn’t be sexy. It smacks of humor and playfulness and aplomb, which is definately sexy.
Isn’t “making me hard” a specific reference to a particular body part?
It refers to a particular body part, but does not specify said part.
The difference is between “makes me hard” and “makes my dick hard.” In my personal world of semantic nuance (and therefore my humble opinion), the latter is overkill. There are situations where “makes my dick hard” might be preferred, but most of the time I’d rather preserve that tiny degree of subtlety.
