>> Friends,

>> In English there are several expressions with
>> slightly different meanings,
>> such as To love, to make love (indicative of sexual
>> intercourse). To sleep
>> with (with a similar indication of sexual
>> intercourse) and there are many
>> slang versions. In Russian apart from lyubit' or
>> lyubit'sya, there is
>> nothing
>> that comes to mind. Has the Russian vocabulary in
>> the post Soviet times seen
>> new additions to describe 'love/sex? Are there words
>> that were previously
>> part of the slang that have now entered the literary
>> language?
>>
>> Would appreciate your comments.
