get one's oats
vb
British
to achieve sexual satisfaction. The phrase originates in the idea of 'sowing one's wild oats', especially in the sense of sexual adventuring outside marriage. Since the 1960s the phrase has been applied to both men and women, and to sex in general rather than adultery in particular. It is heard in all social classes in Britain and Australia.
