English term or phrase: be now
Most be an idiom. "An empty succession of be now sexual physical encounters".
Carlos
aquí y ahora
Explanation:
Me parece que al usar un modismo como "be now", parece más adecuado usar también uno en castellano. "aquí y ahora" significa "circunstancial", pero con igual sentido de urgencia que "be now", hacerlo ahora y olvidarlo en seguida
