Californication

What does Californication mean?

In sexual slang, Californication refers to sexual intercourse taking place in California or occurring in a Californian style.

The word is tagged as US, humorous, and derogatory, so it is generally used playfully, irreverently, or critically rather than as a neutral term.

Other uses of Californication

Californication also has nonsexual uses for adopting practices or beliefs associated with California, especially Hollywood and Silicon Valley, and for large-scale land development or urban sprawl. In a sexuality-focused context, the intercourse meaning is the relevant sense.
