Before watching / listening
You are going to watch a lesson by Leila and Sabrah from "Love English with Leila and Sabrah" focusing on some English expressions and words used to talk about sex.

Of course, as was the case in the previous two lessons - "Words you never learn at school (1) and (2) - the F-word (F**k) is to be totally avoided because it is utterly vulgar!
