I realized that after learning Japanese for so many years I still don't know
what the word is in Japanese that has the meaning "to have intercourse with"
specifically.

Therefore, I am looking for a Japanese verb meaning "to have intercourse with"
that:

  1. is not 外来語 e.g. セックスする;
  2. is not 漢語 e.g. 性交する;
  3. means "to have intercourse with" explicitly, not through euphemism;
  4. is not slang;
  5. refers to "to have intercourse with" with high fidelity (not like e.g. やる);
  6. should better be a 他動詞 s.t. it can fill in "A は B を _____.";

Point 5 is important, by which I mean the verb should not have other meanings,
like "肏" in Chinese, "씹하다" in Korean and "fuck" in English(?). Though I am not
a native English speaker and I know "fuck" as a verb has many meanings, I feel
like "to have intercourse with" is still the main and genuine meaning and
other meanings seem to have derived from this. Although "fuck" might mean
something else before it acquired the meaning of "have intercourse with", this
must have happened before people started to use the verb "fuck" in other ways
(as in "to fuck around", "fuck it!" etc.) .

In comparison, やる, which is the answer many Japanese people told me after I
asked them this question, seems to have too many meanings (to do, to kill, to
complete, etc.).

question
words verbs
Is there a native word in Japanese that refers to "to have intercourse with" with high fidelity?
So, the question is a bit awkwardly phrased and the emphasis on “fuck” is a
bit over the top, but I did try to find a native Japanese word for “to have
sexual intercourse”.

As you may know, native Japanese words are commonly called 大和言葉 (Yamato
kotoba), so I searched for “性交する 大和言葉” and came across [this
page](https://joshi-spa.jp/236726) which reviews a book “Speaking Yamato
Japanese beautifully” and cites some examples.

As the expression for セックス／エッチ it gives 「契りを結ぶ」and by looking it up I
discovered that 契{ちぎ}る [does have such a
meaning](https://www.weblio.jp/content/%E5%A5%91%E3%82%8B). Although it’s only
a secondary one, I suspect it will be understood correctly with proper context
(the dictionary gives an example 男と契る).

I guess that’s probably the closest you can get without further euphemisms,
but I think it will sound strange and awkward in modern setting (similar to
many other Yamato words).

P.S. Following the cross references, it seems まじわり can also mean “sexual
intercourse” (as in 夫婦のまじわり), however the verb itself (交わる) is more neutral
and does not imply sex by default.

I also believe the word _fuck_ has too many meaning too, but...

There's a word for it:
[まぐわう](https://www.weblio.jp/content/%E3%81%BE%E3%81%90%E3%82%8F%E3%81%86).  
[This](https://renso-ruigo.com/word/%E3%81%BE%E3%81%90%E3%82%8F%E3%81%86)
dictionary even has "ファックする"(To fuck).

It's a word that we don't see much anymore (because we have ヤる, セックスする,
etc...), but I think it will be understood by most people. ...Maybe.
