Oh, there’s so many. There are the inside joke style, such as my girlfriend and I enjoy. We’ll take regular movie titles, and then pornoize them, and then one of us will ask the other if they want to go home and watch that flick. It’s sort of a under-the-table way to say “Let’s go home and screw”. For example, I’ll say something like “Wanna go home and watch _Crouching Beaver, Hidden Ferret_?” or “Let’s go home and watch _Free My Willy_.” It’s lots of fun. Another favorite is “bumping uglies” or “nookie”. And let’s not forget “Make Whoopie”. Heh heh, that one always makes me laugh. Chef from South Park refers to it as “Sweet, sweet lovin’” and I like that, too. Other times, I’ll be hanging out with my brother and we’ll see a hottie and say “Man, I would stick it in and break it off!” or “Bag that up, I’m taking it home.” I guess these are more euphemisms for attractiveness, but hey, I think the two are mutually interdependant, you know? Other euphemisms for sex are: Wease some love juice Do the hibbedy-dibbedy Work the love-muscles Makin’ bacon Play hide the salami Get your pole varnished Buff the wood Shine the helmet Get some booty Churnin’ some butter Pop your rocks Pop your cookies Get your rocks off Get off Get down Clean her pipes Wrestle the anaconda Abuse Molest Rock your world Ride the hobby horse Kick the kitty Shag Screw Make love (this is my favorite because it sounds so ridiculous) Make a deposit Make a donation Drop a load Ravish ---

GrizzWife and I use “making cookies” and “going to Toledo” as euphemisms. yes, I know, they’re not racy. But it lets us talk about sex right in front of the pastor’s family without a blush! ---

The beast with two backs is my fave. How about a little Strine’? As in; “Playing cars and garages.” and “Playing hide the sausage.” ---

My friend Jeremy refers to it as “getting his nut on”. He also refers to eating as “getting his grub on” and studying as “getting his learn on”. He’s also spent the past three years at a two year technical school. ---

Since the introduction of Poofy to the boards, “making pig bacon” has got to be one of my favorites. Also, “throwin’ a hump” as in “I threw her my best hump and she still wasn’t satisfied!” ---

It’s also “knockin’ sneakers” (just not as often). Ten toes up and ten toes down and you didn’t take the time to get your boots off. Yeah, they’d knock. If you’re “knockin’ _booties_”, either you’re real bendy, or you just aren’t doin’ it right. Also a bit of the classic: Nookie. ---

When I lived with my parents, I would bring my girlfriend home and we would immediately head for my bedroom. My family would accuse us of “scampering”. And if a friend would call me while we were busy, my mom would tell him that I was “entertaining” my girlfriend. My two favorite generic expressions are “laying pipe” and “the old in-out”. ---

Sometimes the classics are best, and in my and my SO’s case we both like to “fuck.” That’s when its sweaty, powerful, full bore, take no prisoners, scorch the sheets fun. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by xtal \* > **Really, anything preceded by an “um” will do. My summertime favorite: “We were…umm…checking each other for ticks.** Yes “…umm” can often add suggestiveness to any phrase. In fact, we found that it does it so well that, rather than go through the effort to come up with a euphemism, we’ve just resorted to saying ‘um’ by itself. “You gonna feel like umm tonight?” or “You wanna umm?” We’re figgering that might hold up well once the cubette gets older. …and “Bumpin’ uglies” always cracks me up. ---
