Quote by Ernest Hemingway
Here is the piece. If you cant say fornicate can you say copulate

Here is the piece. If you cant say fornicate can you say copulate or if not that can you say co-habit? If not that would have to say consummate I suppose. Use your own good taste and judgment. – Ernest Hemingway
