Couldn't resist responding to this:

Since I happen to hail from PA, and have been to Pennsylvania Dutch Country, including the towns of Intercourse, PA and Blue Ball, PA, as well as Paradise, PA, I would like to add a respectable note concerning those towns, especially the first 2.

Read on only if you're a history buff.  (There's nothing of a sexual nature at any of the following links....just maps and, well, history!)

Intercourse, PA 
Population: roughly 1000

As with the nearby towns of Blue Ball and Paradise, Pennsylvania, Intercourse is a popular site for tourists on account of its location in "Amish country". Its name has acquired sexual connotations unrelated to the reasons the village was named. Sign posts for the town are frequently targeted by thieves.

Besides its name, Intercourse is also famous for its Amish communities. For this reason the movie Witness was filmed in Intercourse and For Richer or Poorer was set there, though not filmed in Intercourse.

Intercourse was founded in 1754. The community was originally named Cross Keys, after a local tavern. Intercourse became the name in 1814, and there are various theories to explain this; one possibility is that the name derived from a race course, the "Entercourse", which was located along Old Philadelphia Pike just outside of town. The village website gives some other theories for the origins of the name.

"Another theory concerns two famous roads that crossed here. The Old King's highway from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh (now the Old Philadelphia Pike) ran east and west through the center of the town. The road from Wilmington to Erie intersected in the middle. The joining of these two roads is claimed by some to be the basis for the town 'Cross Keys' or eventually 'Intercourse'.[1] A final idea comes from the use of language during the early days of the Village. The word 'intercourse' was commonly used to describe the 'fellowship' and 'social interaction and support' shared in the community of faith, which was much a part of a rural village like this one."

Blue Ball, PA

Blue Ball is an unincorporated community in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania near 40°N 76°W. Blue Ball lies approximately 2 miles east-northeast of the town of New Holland, Pennsylvania at the intersection of US 322 and PA Route 23.

The name, though often considered sexually suggestive, has a thoroughly respectable origin; it comes from the Blue Ball Inn, which stood on the southeast corner of the PA 23-US 322 crossroads. The inn is no longer standing; it was torn down in the 1990s after more than 200 years.
