Nice.

If we hear the word "horny" one more time...

We don't know about you, reader, but we get tired of saying the word horny. No, not tired of being horny. We're just tired of using the same term over and over again. There's gotta be more than just "horny."

Luckily, there are at least 69 other ways to get the same message across. We compiled a list, including slang you may or may not have heard before, GIFs, emoji, and even a few options from the dictionary (because nothing sets the mood like saying "Oh baby, I'm so libidinous."). Take a look and choose the one that feels right for the moment.
