When did 'fun' become the code word for 'sex'?

About 60 years ago. It's what street walkers would say.

Ever hear that song from Sweet Charity--Big Spender? "Fun, laughs, good times..."

It's been called whoopee for a century OP

Do you wanna have fun...fun...fun?

I’m not a fun person so it has no appeal to me. I want to be mean and boring.

Another bride...

The people who feel like sex is an ordeal to be endured are perplexed by the use of “fun”.

Fun = drugs

Sit and spin

When a good time girl had fun, OP, she wasn't home pulling taffy.

When “making whoopie” went out to pasture

It's a good plain code-word to see if the other party indeed knows what's meant. Then chat can develop.

Every face-to-face interaction with a human being feels like an ordeal to be endured

In March 2004 I was in a gay bar and these two good looking slim straight acting guys came up to me and one of them said do you like to party?

A code phrase for- like to have sex and take drugs

Since at least the first time I perused the gay personal ads in the Boston Phoenix back in ‘86. (I was 18 or 19)

I’m usually face to crotch, getting down to business.

OP are you posting from 1955?

I remember meeting a blind personal ad date at a coffee shop. I got there and he wasn't there, but some stranger asked me if I was looking for someone. I said yes and sat down for a while. He appeared after a while. We chatted and he kept going back to, "So you like to have fun?". I'd say yes and mention my hobbies, but it began to get irritating. I didn't know anything about Internet hookups at the time; I thought you just looked for a significant other to spend the rest of your life with.

He was pleasant-looking but his arms didn't work right. He was 'forcing' them to do things.

We parted ways and never spoke again.

I remember meeting a blind person once

I think it’s just nicer, less vulgar way of asking for what they want.

It’s nice when whores have manners.

That came out wrong. I meant personal ad blind date. He wasn't blind (at least not then).
