maithun/ yaun kriya

Maithun is an act of having sex. Yaun kriya is also the word for the same act.
I have seen that some people are offended by the word, whereas in terms of translation and in broadcasting, we accross these words many times. we should not feel ashamed about the word as a doctor can not shy away from the physical anatomy. we as translator impart knowledge through languages and sex is quite a common word.
Peer comment(s):

agree Rajan Chopra : If this is the case, Sambhog and Sehvaas are some other words for having sex.
