15 Fantastic Euphemisms for Sex

Sex, for most people, is a bit of an awkward issue and for hundreds of years (and I bet you, since the dawn of time) we have been coming up with e to make sex sound less mechanical and more fun. Or you know, to totally avoid saying the word ‘SEX’, which catapults the best and most mature of us back into the days of being sniggering 13 year olds behind the school canteen.

5. Grummeting
I just love the sound of this. “Fancy a grummet?” It would be a yes from me, every time.
6. Jerking off with someone to talk to
One for the cynical, right there.

The more times I read this, the less sense it makes. I’m getting a “not tonight, darling” headache trying to work it out.
