Pronunciation

Verb

[edit]

futuō (present infinitive futuere, perfect active futuī, supine futūtum); third conjugation

  1. (Vulgar Latin) to fuck, to have vaginal sex
    • 86 CE – 103 CE, Martialis, Epigrammata 9.69.1:
      Cum futuis, Polycharme, soles in fine cacare.
      When you fuck, Polycharmus, you are accustomed to shitting afterwards.
    • 86 CE – 103 CE, Martialis, Epigrammata 11.20.7:
      “Aut futue, aut pugnēmus” ait.
      “Either fuck me or let's fight,” she says.
    • c. 84 BCE – 54 BCE, Catullus, Carmina 97.9:
      Hic futuit multās et sē facit esse venustum
      He fucks lots of women, and makes himself out to be charming

Usage notes

[edit]
  • Normally, futuō specifically means to be the penetrating partner in vaginal sex. It can be transitive or intransitive. Its passive voice means "to be vaginally penetrated", whereas the active voice almost never has this sense; Martial 11.7.13 has been argued to be a rare exception. There is some evidence of futuō being extended to cover anal sex, but usually that was described with the distinct verb pēdīcō.[1]
  • Another verb apparently associated with vaginal sex is crisō.
