sexual intercourse; lovemaking
Dated, literary term for sexual intercourse, often with a poetic or euphemistic tone. Not used in everyday conversation.
In old novels, scenes hinting at lovemaking often appear.
The word 閨事 is hardly used in modern times.
Compound of 閨 (ねや, 'bedroom', an archaic word) and 事 (こと, 'matter, affair'). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the term has been used in classical literature to refer euphemistically to sexual activity.
