The Language Of Love

Sex surveys are always good for a laugh but this one has a nice record of current sexual slang in Chicago:

Some say “hooking up.” Others “going out.” We wanted to know how you describe it to your friends when you’re getting it on with someone. Women tended to say that they were “dating someone” or “seeing each other,” as opposed to describing that significant or less-than-significant other in sexual terms.

Hooking up 28%

Seeing each other 18%

Dating 11%

Hanging out: 8%

Going out: 8%

Fuck buddies: 6%

Kicking it: 2%

Honorable mentions: friends with benefits, knocking boots, getting it on, shacking up, “together,” messing around, riding the beast with two backs, friends that fuck, laid pipe, booty calls, screwing, bed buddies, got together.
