Sex Word Etymology: Spend 16th Century
Sex Word Etymology for the word Spend = ejaculate, orgasm, come.

Spend, used as slang, is a word that originates from the 16th Century in Britain. Spending implies making a deposit or payment thus tying sex with money. It also suggests losing energy or becoming exhausted.


Historic example: With such a tool I thought he'd split her...She held it fast, and made it stand, and spend its venom into her hand.~ Thomas Bridges, A Burlesque Translation of Homer,1770


Example from my books:
What She Craves~Lusts Vow. Pg:3-4
She stared at the octagon-shaped structure. Floor-to-ceiling windows that faced the river reflected the dappled light of the late-afternoon sun, marring the view within. Nothing. She couldn’t see a thing.

“Oh God, Emma, his arse is so red. Reach around and touch his prick.”

Hannah’s eyes widened. Oh my. They were engaged in a sexual act.

“He’s not ready, Rupert,” Emma said in an exasperated voice. “Even though you could spend, I want this to last.” Emma’s squeaky voice paused. “Isn’t Kenneth supposed to join us?”

“Who cares about Kenneth? Get on with it, woman!”

Biting her lip, Hannah hesitated. Maybe at a different angle she could see … something. Her heart pounded in her chest as she stepped forward.
