Always felt the same way. Idk about you but I feel like the suffix makes it sound more childish and that’s why it bothers me? Like sally, tummy, fuzzie wuzzie, shortie, girly, silly, warmie, shosies, walkie talkie, swirlie, whirly gig, touchy feely, and then panties is supposed to be serious and sexy?? Nah that’s underwear.

Underwear doesn’t sound sexy, but I’d rather that word than the other one

That’s honestly a really good idea. We don’t gotta use any words.

So, is there a sexy, but not childish option?
