Yes, but considering the sexual flexibility and versatility of Jack's native culture, there should be several different kinds of words for sex, like the apocryphal names for snow in Inuit cultures. Is Jack's language agglutinative or inflecting? I imagine there would be many pre-, post- and infixes regarding genders, number of partners and specific acts, as well as different inflections denoting sex-for-fun, sex-with-love, sex-for-procreational-purposes, sex-as-art-form...

LANGUAGE GEEKS UNITE!
