neutral  GaryG: "fornicate" is a term used by lawyers and religious fundamentalists, not in everyday speech.

  -> the word "блуд" is archaic and does sound as an ironic reference to something Biblical. See also my comment to Joe's answer

А предложение было:

to whore around

Если уж в библейском смысле, то whore как "блудница".

Sounds a bit ironic in tone; I imagine this is a woman that does not blush easily.

Another interesting way such a woman may put it is: \"I\'ve been giving myself over to a little fornication...\"

agree  Kirill Semenov: yes. More often : "блуду предалась" It sounds both archaic and ironic; and gives the impression of a debauched person

  -> Thanks, Kirill.

agree  Mark Vaintroub: "formication" - это хорошо. Употребление архаичного выражения дамой придает иронию, что хорошо в этом англ. эквиваленте.
