getting laid

Having casual sex

Getting laid is having sex, typically casual rather than romantic.

The phrase emphasizes the act itself over emotional connection: I haven't gotten laid in months, He's just trying to get laid.

Someone who got laid last night succeeded in finding a sexual partner.

The passive construction suggests sex as something obtained rather than shared.
