It's just that I'm a very shy girl. 
I thought of another possible word; brothels were also known as 'trugging houses' then so maybe he could use 'trug' instead of 'f**k'? E.g "Where's my trugging codpiece, you horrible little trugers?"

You're only making these suggestions because you want another kiss.
I like trugging.
So now I have trugging and swive.
Thanks Dolly most helpful. 
Trugging hell! Get a room you two!
I'm with the non- or reduced swearers here. One thing that turns me straight off a script or TV is constant swearing especially "for realism."
Father Ted, Porridge, Red Dwarf were all excellent examples of funny without resorting to real swearies. Although I'm aware of Father Ted's Feck and the well-remembered Mrs Doyle usage of the real word (once in 3 series?). It's the avoidance of swearing in those shows that adds to the humour and, imo, seems funnier than if you substituted the real curses.
I only use one F word per script, to avoid diluting its impact when it occurs. Usually at the key moment. Even then I try and avoid it, if possible. The embarrassment of my mother getting to read one of my sold manuscripts made me re-evaluate what I was writing a few years back (littered with swearies). I guess I'm a little sad in that I want my parents to be proud of me, as much as anything else. I still write what I want to write but now I edit it with my parents' eyes.
