Australians refer to sex as “rooting”. So innocuous terms elsewhere like “rooting for your team/child/company” (like in a competition) have an entirely different interpretation DownUnder – they “barrack for…” whoever instead. So, having said that, the euphamism I first heard in about 1982 (more for a date leading to sex) was “going to do what the koala does… Eats, roots and leaves.”

‘Bumping uglies’. Of all the most unenticing and discouraging euphemisms. Self-deprecating and insulting at the same time.

Also ‘waking the dragon’. False advertising and can only go downhill from there. Better to set more realistic expectations– ‘waking the lizard’ or ‘waking the gecko’ maybe. If that turns out to be something of an understatement, it’ll lead to a very pleasant surprise. But never go for ‘waking the worm’ — that’s just dead in the water.

The absolute worst euphemism for sex/something related to sex that I ever heard was: Throwing my sword at the Eye of Mordor.

The absolute worst euphemism for sex/something related to sex that I ever came across :
(a mate with a chunky girlfriend… And I forgotten this until your twitter post). … Tupping the teletubby

Or
A dalliance with tinky winky

Both so very wrong!!
