Other languages have very different profanity, though.
Care to share? For educational purposes.
Off the top of my head, Dutch has pretty disease-centric profanity, and Quebec French has the sacres, which are basically just things found in a church.
I mean, sex is a very common subject, and OP was probably right that (translations of) that exact phrase occurs from time to time all the way back, but it’s far from a constant.
