have sex
Make love together
To have sex is to engage in sexual activity with another person, typically intercourse.
The phrase is deliberately vague, covering anything from penetrative sex to other intimate acts: They had sex for the first time, We haven't had sex in months.
It serves as the neutral, all-purpose term—neither clinical like "copulate" nor vulgar like "fuck."
