…and, of course, the other topic dear to the heart of poets:
bang
bone
belly-bump
booly-dog
boozle
buff the floor
do bouncy-bounce
do a bit of hard for a bit of soft
make carnal acquaintance
cavault
do the conjugal act
consummate
coot
perform the culbatizing exercise
do the four-legged frolic
frick
frigg
do ficky-fick
do horizontal refreshment
practice in actus coitu
do the Irish whist
jig-a-jig
lay
lay pipe
ling-grapple
make the two-backed beast
make nooky
nub
nurtle
poke
roll in the hay
romp in the hay
toss in the hay
rut
do smockage
screw
shag
shake the sheets
roll the soul
trombone
make amorous congress
do what Eve did with Adam
As long as you ended with Eve and Adam…
Come slowly,
Eden
Lips unused to thee.
Bashful, sip thy jasmines,
As the fainting bee,
Reaching late his flower,
Round her chamber hums,
Counts his nectars -alights,
And is lost in balms!
–Emily Dickinson
Thanks, Gretel. That’s the perfect poem for this spot. And I may have mentioned it already, but I’ve always had a bit of a crush on Emily…
