Sibilant

I ran across a blog this evening titled 'a sibilant intake of breath'. Pretty words but I had never heard of the word 'sibilant'. The dictionary says 'Of, characterized by, or producing a hissing sound like that of (s)'. So I made the sound while intaking my breath and instantly recognized the sound. Sibilant. Almost orgasmic. Try it. Close your eyes and try it. Floods of memories of feelings... A delicious sibilant intake of breath... Breathlessly sibilant... A tasty sibilant treat of a man... A sibilant relief of that first touch after a long pause of celebacy...

The word envokes only half of a feeling.....the other half of the sound is the output of the 'ahhhhhhhh'...
