I am writing a BDSM-based story. My request is simple and every native English speaker should be able to answer it.
Is "she grabs his penis" equivalent to "she snatches his penis"? I've never read or heard that someone snatches a penis, so I am asking if this is also a valid way to express such an action.
no they're not, snatching implies taking something, so if she detached his penis, snatched would be right, otherwise use grab :)

the proper definition of "snatch" would work in that context, but (at least in dialect I natively speak) "she snatches his penis" would have the connotation that she was taking the penis away from him or that she intends to keep it. which I assume is not the implication you want.
thanks, I thought that this might be the semantic difference between "grab" and "snatch" :)
