jaymediane commented on the word voluptuous
The fair girl went on her knees and bent over me, fairly gloating. There was a deliberate voluptuousness which was both thrilling and repulsive, and as she arched her neck she actually licked her lips like an animal... I could feel the soft, shivering touch of the lips on the supersensitive skin of my throat, and the hard dents of two sharp teeth, just touching and pausing there."
--Bram Stoker, (ch. 3, pg. 42)

Why do some people add an m to this word? It drives me crazy when people say 'volumptuous'. It takes away the sexiness of the word and makes me think of cellulite. hehe
