My gifted writer friend has given me a wonderful list to share this week. She came up with the clever idea of listing words that double as both nouns and verbs (e.g., You hammer with a hammer) and have a similar context in either form.
As she notes in her own words, please note the warning that several are used in BDSM. The list does not include verbs that do not usually retain their interpersonal meaning in their common noun form, e.g. screw.
I hope you're as impressed as I was:
1. Brush
2. Cane
3. Chain
4. Clamp
5. Collar
6. Cuff
7. Dress
8. Fist
9. Oil
10. Paddle
11. Rope
12. Wax
13. Whip
Wow, I'm impressed.

Here's a handy list I found today, but it's missing quite a few, such as the sex toys and some common activities: dance, walk, fart, run and others. http://www.scribd.com/doc/3271104/150-Words-Which-Are-Both-Verbs-and-Nouns
