There's a time and a place for cursing ... title of a widely-released movie is not one of them, in my opinion. If you want to convey to the audience what kind of movie it is, there are a bajillion other ways to do it.
I mean, really, nothing about the behavior or relationship changes a whit by simply calling it what it is. The euphemism simply indulges the conceit that it's something more noble, or less crude.

It has the bonus of not being obscene.
