"Mate with each other before your blood screams."? Sounds like
the pressure must be mounting..."Quick, before your blood
screams..."
> wej jachtaHvIS 'Iwraj, penga'chuqtaH.
"While your blood not yet screams, continue to mate with each
other." Hmmm. Not bad. That would work.
> jachchoHmeH 'Iwraj, penga'chuqtaH.
"In order that your blood begins to scream, mate with each
other." NOW, WE'RE GETTING SOMEWHERE!

"When your blood doesn't yet scream, don't stop mating with
each other." Hmmmm. That could also be, "As soon as your blood
does not yet scream, don't stop mating with each other." I
don't know. I think {jachchoHmeH...} is the winner.
