Well, Freebase, I would have to know the one(s) you frequent before I could go there and post anything to be helpful to you. Although, I doubt I'd be much help because I'd probably descend into some discussion on the evolution of sexual positions...which gives much pleasure to *me* but I don't know if it does much for *you.*
Which reminds me (since this is a curse word thread), two swear words I don't like much are "fu
ck* and "bi
tch" because they were created (presumably by men) in a female-bashing society as a way of representing and maintaining power over women. This doesn't mean that is how the words are always used *now*, since words take on different meanings over time. Example: "What the f
uck!" is an expression of amazement and confusion. "Oh what the fuc
k" may be an expression of resignation.
Here's something else I've thought about curse words: doesn't it seem silly that so many of them relate to sex/sexual functions? One would think since sex is as natural and old as, well, the first sexual reproduction that occurred between unicellular organisms, that people by now would think nothing of talking about body parts such as the penis, clitoris, gonads, etc., and sexual "intercourse" in general?
And yet, generation after generation, a new crop of young people giggle and swear their way into the discovery and understanding of their own and others' sexual biologies. I suppose this just reflects the strong natural selection of people who are interested in sexuality yet sensitive to the social rules regarding sex (which may or may not reflect evolutionary interests, such as verifying which children are your own).
Spawned from this human fascination with, and repression of, sex are the swearwords that seem to titillate a large number of people (aka "talking dirty"). People like the taboo. Most of the MB experience, for example, is about chuckling about the taboo and testing/breaking limits.
