to love, make love etc.

[Deborah Hoffman]

I have heard zanimat'sia liubov'iu, zanimat'sia
minetom (for oral sex), zanimat'sia lezbiianstvom.
Not sure how "clinical" these are - they seemed less
so than "seksual'nye otnosheniia" or "oral'nyi seks" -
but perhaps a native speaker could help out.

(Offered with purely linguistic goals in mind.)
