Finally, the colon is, without rival, unequivocally the most erotic punctuation available to writers in English and not for the reasons you are thinking, Sheila. The colon is very simply: seduction. One minute you are just talking the next: you are kissing.
The colon can be used to start a list:
They put inside of her the following:
or introduce a subordinate clause or phrase whose erotic potential is all together all-too formidable:
She became: a jungle cat
Or even:
Have you seen: the toaster
If the dash is a jump cut, then the colon is an uncanny dissolve where things change and you are not sure you are not dreaming. If the erotic potential of both those features are not obvious, you should probably get out more.
Graphematically, the colon is a picture of two homogenous dots hovering above one another: this by itself is almost indescribably filthy, as they poke out at one like two intense little dark eyes, darkish nipples, or darkish identical clones undressing in front of each other for the first time. Don’t tell me you’ve never just written a length of colons:
::::::::::::::::::::::
just to imagine it’s an aerial top down view of some sort of same sex barracks full of model N66 Attack Clones all naked and lined up for inspection. In fact, here come the bad ass clone Sarge
and it looks pretty pissed!
:::::::::::::::::::::: .
-Drop and give me twenty, skinjob!:
:::::::::::::::::::::; .
Well, I could go on with this all day, particularly when they hit the showers.

Bravo! Bravo! (See sometimes the exclamation point is a good thing, like for applause). Bravo for all the erotic punctuation pieces.
