** "[[Recap/InterviewWithTheVampire2022S1E1InThroesOfIncreasingWonder In Throes of Increasing Wonder...]]": While confessing his sins to Father Matthias, Louis de Pointe du Lac relies on a horticultural analogy when he divulges that he bottomed for Lestat de Lioncourt when they had sex, and even hints that his lover has a large penis (which Lestat asserts in "[[Recap/InterviewWithTheVampire2022S1E5AVileHungerForYourHammeringHeart A Vile Hunger for Your Hammering Heart]]"). Louis compares himself to the soil while Lestat is the plant that's "sprouting" within him.

** "[[Recap/InterviewWithTheVampire2022S1E1InThroesOfIncreasingWonder In Throes of Increasing Wonder...]]": While confessing his sins to Father Matthias, Louis de Pointe du Lac has an interesting way of stating that he bottomed for Lestat de Lioncourt when they had sex, and even hints that his lover has a large penis (which Lestat asserts in "[[Recap/InterviewWithTheVampire2022S1E5AVileHungerForYourHammeringHeart A Vile Hunger for Your Hammering Heart]]"): "[Lestat] has roots in me, all his spindly [[note]]which is a synonym for "long"[[/note]] roots in me!"

** The Mayor wants Faith to move out of the NoTellMotel she's staying in because there are 'immoral liaisons' going on there. Being BookDumb Faith replies, "Yeah, plus all the screwing."

* ''Literature/TheDecameron'' uses "put the Devil back into Hell", which is a not-at-all-subtle euphemism for sex when you consider that [[ICallItMisterHappy Rustico calls his penis "the Devil" and Alibech's vagina "Hell"]].

* The "Dirty Hungarian Phrasebook" sketch from ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'' has this gem:

* In the ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'' fanfic ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/31456490 The Artist's Garden at Madripoor]]'', Steve goes to [[Series/TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier Madripoor]] in order to acquire the last component for the [[Film/AvengersEndgame Quantum Tunnel]] and discovers that [[FallenHero Sharon]] is the Power Broker, the city's JudgeJuryAndExecutioner. She refuses to give him the component unless he hands over his shield or Sam's wings [[Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar (which she stole for him and led to her becoming a fugitive)]] as well as more or less stating that she's largely uninterested in bringing back everyone who disappeared in [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar the Snap]] because it could threaten her position. When Steve angrily asks what happened to the woman he used to know, Sharon bitterly fires back that [[ThatManIsDead "That woman died when [he] abandoned her,"]] causing Steve [[ItsAllMyFault to feel anger and guilt for failing to find her and causing her fall from grace]]. Steve is eventually able to convince her to give them the component on a few conditions, one of which is attending a party she's throwing. Later, she drops a few of these:

'''Sharon:''' [[[[ToughLeaderFacade I know. I'm more interested in how you’re going to make it up to me.]] ''[at Steve's blush]'' You're still such a dork. ''[...]'' It's loud down here, do you want to go somewhere and we could '''talk'''?

** As shown in the top illustration, the [[CelestialBureaucracy Department of Minor Nuisances']] official term for such things is [[http://rhapsodies.wpmorse.com/comic/01102013/ "Mutual Experience"]].

* Unlike in [[Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit the film adaptation]] where the term is used [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything literally]], "playing pattycake" in ''Literature/WhoCensoredRogerRabbit'' is used as slang for sex.

* In ''Literature/ToShapeADragonsBreath'' after Masquisit and Nasquisit whalers come home from months away at sea, their children are encouraged the day after the return celebration to keep themselves occupied elsewhere until sunset, so their wives can welcome the whalers home in their own way. This is said matter-of-factly, as sex is not considered a big deal.
