What does COITAL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
medical
Relating to coitus, the sexual union of a male and female.
Doctors and researchers use coital mainly as a clinical adjective, as in coital activity or the coital position, when discussing human or animal reproduction and sexual behaviour in a neutral, technical way. The word appears often in medical and biological writing about fertility, contraception and reproductive health, where a precise, formal term is preferred over more casual alternatives. Coital shares its root with coitus, the noun it describes, and the two words nearly always appear together in scientific and clinical contexts. Outside medicine and biology, coital is rarely used in everyday conversation, where plainer expressions are far more common.
