Yeah, I've actually noticed that before. There are terms that I think of as 'porn words' and that irritate and jar me out of the fic (thereby rendering it less hot, because the last thing you want is to be distracted when you're in the ~mood), and sometimes those terms later gain in popularity and I get used to them enough that eventually they don't break the mood anymore.

I HAVE read porn with really original phrasing and terminology that was still hot (I remember thinking how surprising it was at the time but the only examples I can think of now are Vonda McIntyre's Starfarer novels which aren't really all that explicit, I don't think, so I might not even call them 'porn' if I read them again now). That doesn't happen often though. It runs the risk of being too distracting, even if it's not necessarily offensive to one's sensibilities.
