I reached down to the number machine... punched the button marked 'WIMH' and came up with 0001. When are you going to flip the 'currently being served' sign to 0001?

No, it's not true in all languages. Finnish, for one, has a verb (rakastella) which is common, polite and unambiguously means "to have sex" (although the connotation is even softer and fuzzier, akin to "make love").

It's an interesting point though, as nearly every other language I can think of has plenty of rude verbs for having sex, but few polite forms, unless you use dry medical/legal jargon like "fornicate". This is probably due to the euphemism treadmill: perfectly innocuous verbs like the French baiser, "to kiss", or the Finnish naida, "to marry", have become borderline obscene over time as they were first used to hint at sometime more, and then came to mean it.

Cheleka...

Sex transcend the present, past and future. In many religons sex was envisaged as an act climaxing (literally) in orgasm that lead to a state of near enlightenment above and beyond any constraint of time. As sex transcend time there is no need to qualify it.
