fornicates
Engages in coitus
Fornicates means to have sexual intercourse outside of marriage.
The word carries a moralistic or religious tone, reflecting traditional prohibitions against premarital or extramarital sex: The preacher warned that whoever fornicates sins against his own body.
In casual use, it often sounds deliberately old-fashioned or humorous.
