has ever been used in a context other than a tabloid kiss and tell story?

I have never heard it used in real life, but it seems to be the sexual euphemism of choice in the tabloids.
Anyway it always amuses me.

Steamy romps are only had by footballers with stunnas in their love nests. Occasionally a tragic tot is produced as a result of one of these passionate trysts. It's the law.

DoJo · 25/01/2014 18:39

I can only assume that this is when people are discovered in clinches, as nobody I know has ever had one!

EdithWeston · 25/01/2014 18:45

Well, in the 1970s, saunas were exotic.

And the tabloids haven't moved on that much since.

ComposHat · 25/01/2014 18:45

I'd forgotten about the tragic tots.

Thing is about this tabloidese is that it is supposed to replicate everyday speech, but surely no one speaks like that?

I had a steamy romp with DH before tucking into a slap-up roast with all the trimmings.

In time, I became pregnant.

Steamy romp makes me think it's threesomes or moresomes?

LuisSuarezTeeth · 25/01/2014 18:51

I'd give my Rabbit for a steamy romp Grin Blush

Lyonesse · 25/01/2014 18:51

Did the slap-up roast not cause problems for your perfect pins? I say this because I ended up pouring my curves into some high-street style after I tucked into my last slap-up roast. I did this because I was heartbroken over my love-rat ex (he was a sports ace.)

MarmaladeShatkins · 25/01/2014 18:55

My perfect pins were fine but my enviable bust suffered at the hands of that roast.

Our sex life went off the boil and DH played away from home. :(

It is wonder with their steamy romps, trysts, clinches and what not that cheating, sorry love rat celebs find time to have sex.

Steamy clinch. Caught in a steamy clinch.

Phwoar.

Bettercallsaul1 · 25/01/2014 19:09

Well I suppose with all the blonde beauties, flame -haired temptresses, and buxom brunettes around, steamy romps are inevitable.

ComposHat · 25/01/2014 19:10

And the sultry beauties don't forget them.

It's not just cheating celeb love rats.. What about those Tunisian love rats who seduce Sharon from Oldham on her dream holiday and then dump her as soon as his visa arrives?!

ComposHat · 25/01/2014 19:12

Flamboyant bachelor - we suspect he may be gay but can't say do for fear of being sued.

It's when it becomes a steamy love triangle that things are really bad Sad

Lyonesse · 25/01/2014 19:18

A steamy clinch sounds kind of painful. Like it would need WD40 to sort it out.

MarmaladeShatkins · 25/01/2014 19:24

Saucy antics.

eddiemairswife · 25/01/2014 19:27

My local paper would close down were it not for tragic tots and plucky pensioners, not forgetting the mindless yobs. Though I can't help wondering if today's plucky pensioners were yesterday's mindless yobs.

MarmaladeShatkins · 25/01/2014 19:27

Fun in the sun. Celebs holidaying in Marbella have fun in the sun.

LadyBeagleEyes · 25/01/2014 19:30

Grin excellent thread.
Wanders back to secret love nest.

ComposHat · 25/01/2014 19:31

When celebrity love rars are caught out, they inevitably 'holed up in their 5million dream home locked in showdown talks with heartbroken wife Mandy, 34.'

There I was, in the shower, indulging in a spot of foof topiary, when I was approached from behind by a chap wearing nowt but a patch over his left eye.

A steamy romp was had.

MarmaladeShatkins · 25/01/2014 19:43

A source revealed that the romps had taken place in the back of the soccer ace's £35k car.

The footie star bedded the model five times in ONE NIGHT.
(unnecessary caps)

The stunner enjoyed a night out on the town with pals.

Kaylee-Michelle showed Ryan-Lee what he was missing when she flaunted her curves in a revealing dress.
