colloquial way of saying 'to have sex'

Hangman Game Feedback

Title:	colloquial way of saying 'to have sex'
Answer:	s'envoyer en l'air

Hints:	1. literally, to send oneself... 2. to send oneself high 3. into the CO2!

Equivalents:	1. faire une partie de jambes en l'air (old-fashioned though) 2. faire l'amour (not colloquial) 3. coucher (colloquial but not vulgar)

Explanation:	I guess this refers to the fact that one can reach 7th heaven (le 7ème ciel) when making love... Or that makes you become almighty, like God, or you might simply fly, like birds, which is pretty romantic right?

Malheureusement, il n'y a pas une expression si pittoresque en allemand.
