The common usages are have a bit, a man/woman, at, it, it off, {sexual) relations (with), sex, something to do with, your end away, your (wicked) way with, and your will of:
    I woke up and had at her again. (Fraser, 1970)

    ... sweeping her off at his saddlebow and having his wicked will of her. (Fraser, 1982)
   There are countless vulgarisms, many with vivid imagery, of which a single sample may suffice:
    He had her right there, bent over the pit of the well... I had my nose in the butter many a time, he said. (Frazier, 1997)
   Also of homosexual activity:
    Khaliq will insist on having it off with the other ranks. (M. Thomas, 1980)
