Moist is nice. I prefer dripping wet.

Good point! And to what end? Who gives a fuck what people think about a particular word and how did this benefit anyone BUT the study administrators? Fucking pork at its worst! "Hey let's do a study on that people think of the word MOIST!" I'm getting "moist" just thinking about it!

Let me try it in a sentence: "Your mothers snatch was moist when Tyrone pulled it apart"

The younger and more neurotic the study participants were, the more likely they were to dislike the word. Additionally, the more disgust they associated with bodily functions, the less they liked moist. People who found themselves particularly grossed out by thinking of things as moist may just be more likely to associate the word with sex, the researchers postulate. As one participant explained, “It reminds people of sex and vaginas.”
