had sex
Consummated the relationship
Had sex is the past tense of have sex, meaning to engage in sexual intercourse or other sexual activity with someone.
The phrase is notably neutral—clinical enough for doctors, vague enough for polite company: We had sex for the first time last night.
It leaves unspecified exactly what acts occurred, which is often the point.
