Question of the day: what do you call "IT"?

NookieNookie.png

A question that came up in conversation with my wife. Over the years, the way we refer to.. well, sex... has morphed into "Nookie". As in:

  • I'm too tired for Nookie tonight
  • What are you after, Nookie?
  • We can cuddle if you want but don't think it's going to lead to Nookie, Mister.

(These are just random examples, you understand)

It probably started so we could use a non-offensive word in case a child was in earshot (and with four, one is always in earshot) but now we use it exclusively. So I was wondering, what does everyone else call it when they talk about "IT" with their significant other? Is "Nookie" universal, or do you have your own phrase?

(Understand, I'm not looking for creative and crazy euphemisms, this is just a straw poll on what phrase you usually use)

Sometimes "snuggling" can lead to "it"...but usually not, unfortunately. (By the way, to all women out there who say isn't "snuggling" better than "it," I will go on record and speak for all men in the world: no, it's not.)

And that stupid Limp Bizkit song from like 10 years ago has permanently made me shrivel up at the mere mention of the word "nookie."

Usually I just refer to it as "begging."

I call it Saddlebacking.

said Angie on January 29, 2009 11:25 AM.

Damn Angie. You beat me too it!

said Baierman on January 29, 2009 11:26 AM.

My wife uses profanity so very very rarely, that when she does use the word "fuck" in an invitation, just hearing it, hell just thinking about it...

I have to go now.

said Jeff on January 29, 2009 11:29 AM.

Angie, seeing as you've already told us that "acoustic music makes my bum hum" on a previous post, I'm not surprised a romantic moment quickly turns to a saddlebag where you are concerned.

Sorry Baier

said Angie on January 29, 2009 11:31 AM.

Ouch Scara that was harsh man.

said Angie on January 29, 2009 11:43 AM.

we "make like"....it's still kind of early in the relationship for the other one!

sometimes he is really romantic and asks if we can "bone"

said catherine on January 29, 2009 11:46 AM.

Chad calls it "torturing gerbils".

said Dave on January 29, 2009 11:50 AM.

Getting some.

A little something-something.

Getting naked.

fooling around.

Masterbating.

said Baierman on January 29, 2009 12:06 PM.

Jeem, are there women who say snuggling is better than nookie? I'm thinking they need to find someone new to have nookie with if that is how they feel..

said CindylovesScara on January 29, 2009 12:34 PM.

"Quiet time". A carry over I guess from when the kids were small.

said Atom Ant on January 29, 2009 12:45 PM.

My Personal Favorite is "Doing the Mattress Mambo"

Let me go on record to all the men out there: Snuggle after, if you've done your job right (and can stay awake Long enough) She'll still be "Glowing" This can turn into round two in a heartbeat if you play your cards right.

said Sheriff Pablo on January 29, 2009 12:47 PM.

Also, I might add, there's a distinction between "nookie" and "a quickie".

said Scaramouch on January 29, 2009 12:50 PM.

The gentleman with whom I kept company and I would let one another know we were open to a night of play by asking for a "go 'round."

said lame name on January 29, 2009 1:22 PM.

years ago, my brother and his girlfriend at the time used the code phrase "going to make some macaroni and cheese" if they wanted to excuse themselves from a social situation. that one always made me laugh.

me, i usually call it getting laid or getting some. if it's with another girl.

if it's with a dude, i call it "eh.. i was bored."

said mobudaki on January 29, 2009 2:19 PM.

For some reason we started calling it "relations".

For some other reason she likes to call it "a little -- woo-ooh-woo-ooh, ree-ah-ree-ah, wheeep-wheeep, rawr-rawr, boinka-boinka, rrrrrrrrrr..." I think she's imitating the sound of the bedsprings with some other gutteral sound effects thrown in, but it always makes me laugh.

said Tiga on January 29, 2009 4:10 PM.

Hmmm...not sure. I just have to look at him with the up and down elevator look...
but then again, no kids to have to hide it from.

Snu snu, as a tribute to the Futurama episode "Amazon Women in the Mood"

said Fehdman on January 29, 2009 6:42 PM.

My ladyfriend and I call it "it". Wanna do it? Maybe we'll do it later... emphasis on "do" but it's always called "it".

said Paul on January 29, 2009 6:42 PM.

and I'm with Cindy and SP...snuggling is what you do when you're too out of breath to do anything else.

said sarcastic one on January 29, 2009 7:06 PM.

Snuggling is for catching your breath, Passing out from exhaustion is for when you're done.

said Sheriff Pablo on January 29, 2009 7:38 PM.

Rooting is always a charming synonym.

As is getting "up to yer nuts in guts."

However "bumping uglies" is my recent favorite.

said Chad on January 30, 2009 12:41 AM.

Dave, If by "torturing" you mean golden showers and by "gerbils" you mean Lacy the rat faced girl down at my local then you are correct sir.

Have you been reading my mail?

said Chad on January 30, 2009 12:50 AM.

One girl I used to date called it, "what are you doing?" Like, "Ooh, what are you doing?" Or, "Just what do you think you're doing?" And, "Oh my God, what are you doing?!"

said Paul on January 30, 2009 1:18 AM.

Drown the goose.
Wet the cookie.
Untangle the clown's hair.


Paul... funny man...

said Leonardo Carvalho on January 30, 2009 7:41 AM.

If the kids are around... "Hmmm, do you want to go in the other room?"

If the kids aren't around... Anything goes at that point.

said LostInDaJungle on January 30, 2009 10:30 AM.

scrumph or scrog

said chessfinesse on January 30, 2009 5:29 PM.

"sailing"
"you up for a cruise tonight" - "sure, but just a quick trip across the bay"
"Want to go sailing" - " I see you've raised the rigging" - I'll go get the sails"

Great to excuse yourself from a lame party or art opening.

Works pretty good, until your told to go launch your own "dingy"

said JD on January 30, 2009 11:21 PM.

After watching that dry cleaning ad I think I'll coin the phrase,

"Would you like for me to take you to Reid's?"

said Chad on January 31, 2009 1:53 AM.

My wife sometimes calls it "intimacy," but I've also heard her call it "mackin'"

I often tell our daughter that I "need to go spend time with Mommy" or that "Mommy and Daddy need to go talk about something."

In grade school we used to kid around by calling it "when the Passionate Anaconda of Love heads into the Tunnel of Love."
