Examples
“After marriage we practised all sorts of fancy coitus, _coitus reservatus_, etc., and rarely passed twenty-four hours without two conjunctions, until she got far on in the family way, and our play had to cease for a while.”
“Innocent marital coitus is transformed into 80s amateur porn, hot dogs get upgraded into lobster tails, nights out to dinner evolve into gut-busting flesh carnivals, and low-speed family cruises on the lake turn into high-speed water-skiing trials.”
“One should never engage in coitus, he writes, if they are "phlegmatic, nor if they are replete with wine or drunk; nor when they emerge from the bath, nor if they have diarrhea, nor after a bleeding, nor after hard work.”
Pestilence and Headcolds: Encountering Illness in Colonial Mexico
“Hence the spilling of semen for any nonprocreative purpose -- in coitus interruptus (Gen. 38: 1-11), male homosexual acts, or male masturbation -- was considered tantamount to abortion or murder.”
“It is true that in coitus woman has but a slight external secretion, and that principally of mucus.”
“Michael Heizer in coitus at Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory meets John Deer meets ThyssenKrupp Fördertechnik.”
“Her sharp breaths in coitus sure grab attention, though they prove that Van Hees’s character is real and that Kuppens has found her.”
“I don’t believe many of you have actually had a relationshoip with a woman, never mind engaging in coitus with one.dorks. duBois Says:”
Matthew Yglesias » Jessica Valenti on Anti-Feminists and So-Called “Hook-up Culture”
“Assuming that “doing it” refers here to engaging in sexual coupling, I don’t know that coitus is that “old fashioned” relative to buggery.”
