> [@Polycarp](#): > > _Joder_ appears to be the standard verb for “to have sexual intercourse” – _chingar_ (if you have the right infinitive; I’m not sure) is probably a dialectal vulgarism. Both are dialectal vulgarisms. Each is more used in some countries, each is understood by everybody. Same about follar. The politicaly correct terms are all euphemisms. Most girls I know will understand or mean a mere “¿subes?” with a sideways head gesture (“wanna come up (to my place)?”) as an invitation for some couch action followed by bed action, whereas specifiying an activity will mean “and get your head out of the gutter cos you’re not getting any tonight”. So “¿te apetece un café?” really means “do you want a cup of coffee?”, not “wanna see my linens?” ---

> [@Excalibre](#): > > ¿Quieres pecar contra Dios conmigo? _Wanna sin against God with me?_ Ah, my child, but there are so many ways you could sin against God that are not sex-related! Much better the way some priests used to say it: ¿quieres pecar contra la castidad conmigo? _wanna sin against chastity with me?_ ---

For my reference, do you know if the same is true for gay boys too, particularly in Spain? …Just curious… ---
