do a sex on you?

Question

When I was watching a drama,I heard that line and started to wonder if it's in frequent use.I'm not used to the noun 'sex' being used with the indefinite articlewhen it means physical intercourse.Anyway, what does it mean, exactly?Is it different from 'have sex with' in any sense?

I haven't come across this phrase before that I recall. I asked some others if they had ever heard it, and they said it was new to them as well.

Thanks for your reply.
It seems that the expression is not gaining acceptance or ground yet.
Just for your information, the drama comes from the UK.

I live in the US, and the people I asked were Americans. I'll try to remember to ask a current UK resident or two about it.

The same goes for British English speakers.

I am from the UK and I also have never heard of the expression "do a *** on someone". Are you sure you heard it correctly?

GPYAre you sure you heard it correctly?

The title is 'My Mad Fat Diary'
and I think I heard it correctly in season 1 episode 1.
I tried Googling for it and all the scripts I found was all like,
'Because I never got a chance to do a *** on you.'

Here's the link and you can check it at 5:19.

It does sound as though that's what he says, but I wonder if the point is that that's what she imagines he says, because she has a huge crush on him, though it's not what he really says.

Blue Jaythat's what she imagines he says,

Yes, I know it (He doesn't say it),
and what I wanted to know is if the expression 'do a *** on someone' is widely accepted.
Since you and the other natives haven't heard it,
I don't think I'll use it.
It seems like something idiosyncratic. (or a creative one?)
Thank you very much!
