Tłumaczę opowiadanie fantasy, w którym słowo 'chędożyć' pojawia się nader często, a mam wrażenie, że F-bomb nie zadośćuczyni oryginałowi. Szukam więc archaizmu, terminu, który nie burzyłby spójności świata mocno osadzonego w średniowieczu. Będę wdzięczny za wszelkie sugestie.

to jape / to swive
To jape, to sard, to fucke, to swive, to occupy.
Of these, "occupy" and "jape" still survive as verbs, though with less profane meanings, while "sard" was a descendant of the Anglo-Saxon verb seordan (or seorðan, <ON serða), to copulate; and "swive" had derived from earlier swīfan, to revolve. - http://www.answers.com/topic/fuck
---------------
swive - Archaic to have sexual intercourse with (a person)
[Old English swīfan to revolve, swivel] - http://www.thefreedictionary.com/swive
jape
c.1300, "to trick, beguile," perhaps from O.Fr. japer "to howl," of echoic origin, or from O.Fr. gaber "to mock, deride." Phonetics suits the former, but sense the latter explanation. Took on a slang sense mid-15c. of "have sex with," and disappeared from polite usage. - http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/jape

Zgaduję że Wiedźmin? :)
Chyba częściej się tak mówi w US niż w UK ale pochodzenie tego słówka z jidysz mz. może dodać archaicznego odcienia.
