One can be creative. At the time of the Founding, the verb “to swive” was used for sexual intercourse rather than the F-word which was derived from the Dutch.

Also "to roger." One of the history books used at Hillsdale college is the diary of some guy in the colonies from those days.

One of the entries which caused much merriment was a day's entry ending with the phrase, "rogered my wife vigorously."

...of course, that gives a whole new sense to hearing pilots saying, "Roger."

Sounds like that could be Col. William Byrd of Westover (one of the more colorful characters in our colonial history), who also referred to giving his wife a "flourish."

Byrd's diaries are crammed with odd but interesting - sometimes almost gossipy - glimpses into many aspects of pre-Revolutionary American life... with preposterous "medical" and "creatively" scientific musings, Native American lore, "camping" tips, and generally everything but the 18th Century equivalent of the kitchen sink.

Viagra won't make you James Bond but it will make you Roger Moore.
