      It's not just organs of generation. It's also bodily waste that is largely demonised in our language. All swear words seem to come from sex, genitalia and lower body waste products like urine and faecal matter. It's interesting that they tend to be Anglo-Saxon words, as Stephen pointed out. It reminds me of the Firefly series, where they swear in Chinese.
