this paper is incredible
ROMANCING THE BONE.The women generated four terms that had no
equivalent in the male group's list, all taken from the stock euphemisms of romance fiction, a genre with which men are less familiar (or less willing to admit familiarity). They all fit into the frame "She felt his — against her." They are throbbing manhood, swelling passion, swelling hardness, and growing desire. A related euphemistic term was family jewels.
