To begin, for those of you who don't know, the word horny stems from Greek myth. The Minotaur was a creature that was half-man and half-bull, existing without a female counterpart and as a complete slave to its own passions. This creature had bull-like horns on his head, hence 'horny'. But that's besides the point. I hate the word horny because it sounds like a joke, and the feeling it is describing is anything but funny. If you think feeling sexual is funny then there is something seriously wrong with you. Horny sounds like a stupid oaf of a frat boy trying to make himself feel better about the fact that he hasn’t gotten laid in 6 months and that he masturbates 4 times a day as compensation. When you feel ‘horny’ – it’s really the only word for it – the feeling is not like a joke and does not exist like it does on white people sitcoms and teen movies. It’s like a surge of sexuality and life and need. Or maybe that’s just me, or maybe all those people who actively use the word horny are just too stupid to realize what’s wrong with it.
