Talk:Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?

message: Statement on se coucher doesn't make sense to me.
Se coucher refers only to the act of going to bed, whereas coucher means lovemaking explicitly. Thus, the "corrected" form of the phrase, "Voulez-vous vous coucher avec moi?" actually means "Do you want to go to bed with me?"
I'd expect "Voulez-vous se coucher avec moi?". It needs correction or deeper/meaningful explanation.
:No. "Se" is a reflexive pronoun and thus changes with the subject of the sentence. "Voulez-vous vous coucher avec moi" would be correct. Informally, it would become "Veux-tu te coucher avec moi". Bidouleroux (talk) 04:12, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: "Voulez-vous coucher?" does not necessarily have sexual connotations (in some contexts, it might, of course).  When you have an isolated sentence, then "avec moi" helps to counteract the vouvoiement and make sure that things are unambiguous... AnonMoos (talk) 15:28, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: "Voulez-vous coucher?" on its own would sound awkward in modern French, because "coucher" can mean both "to sleep" and "to stay the night". Most French speakers would interpret it as "voulez-vous coucher ici?", i.e. do you want to stay the night here. Only the expression "coucher avec quelqu'un" implies sexual activity, just as in English you would say "to sleep with someone" to imply the same. Bidouleroux (talk) 04:12, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Voulez-vous vous 

message: Use of the formal vous in a request to make love is the most awkward part, but "avec moi" makes it even more so.  It's akin to saying "Wanna go to bed, ma'am?  With me, that is, not some random person who wasn't part of this bizarre conversation to begin with."  Simply "coucher" is enough.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xrlq (talk • contribs) 14:21, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
