I've consulted a rather well-known friend about this popular topic. Though some of the "senior" - LOL - MW members may remember her comments, I couldn't resist reposting this important message...

Now, now my dears ~

Zis is Dr. Vuth. I vonce made a lot of money teaching people about sex, but I haf found dat writers need my help far more dan anyone else.

I used to find dat vimmen vere afraid to touch ze penis. But I haf discovered zat many vimmen haf a similar dread of pens. Ladies, you MUST touch ze pens! It does no good to have 267 different writing instruments in drawers and cabinets throughout your home if you do not TOUCH zem.

And remember - a pen in ze hand is worth two in ze drawer. Many, many sad vriters find zey haf achieved climax simply by BUYING ze pen! Zey have not even engaged in ze literary act. Zeece ees not good.

You must TOUCH ze pen. You must write vis de pen. You must not be satisfied vis simply buying it. Zis is de key to practicing safe and fulfilling writing.
