I think it depends on the piece, as Bronxwench says above. I dislike it when I'm reading high fantasy pieces that consistently use ye olde language and then "pussy" is thrown into the sex scene: it's just not appropriate for the time. I'm not a huge fan of euphamisms like "her mossy wetness" but that's what some people want to read...

Having grown up reading authors who played with language to achieve incredibly powerful and evocative prose, I'm loathe to limit myself at all. If I'm going to write a Regency bedroom hopping farce, I might use "quim." If I'm writing something set in the 1970's, when we all strove to shock, I'd use "cunt." If I'm writing a scholarly piece on the experiences during a vaginal birth after caesaerian, I'll go with vagina and cervix. It's all mood and the music of the words.

Would anyone like to do a fanfic pairing Lindsay Lohan with Megan Fox? Context:Ever wonder why Lindsay and Megan were at each other's throats during the filming of "Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen"? Because they were secretly hot for each other! Then one day years later, they finally give in to they're sexual desires for one another.
