Non-believer speaking to Cathar perfectus :
"On est pas fait du même terreau. Pour comprendre ces choses [i.e. the material pleasures of the world], il faut avoir la panse bien pleine, aimer à besogner les femelles..."
"F***" seems a bit too much; thought perhaps of "riding" but not blown away with that. As it's slang, have to be careful about anachronistic use... Any bawdy imaginations out there?

Comment: ""Bedding" is my choice! Thanks, my mind just would stay bawdy without veering into "overcrude""

work the women
"besogne" simply means "work", as in "faire la sale besogne", do someone's dirty work.
And "like working the women" would be clear in context, I should think. Nothing to do with the "masses laborieuses", or even with the "travail" that might come nine months later.
