Sex connotations

From the World Wide Wiki

"Well once I was young and impulsive.

     I wore every conceivable pin,
 Even went to the socialist meetings,
     And I knew all the old union hymns.
 But I've grown older and wiser,
     And that's why I'm turning you in!
 So love me, love me, love me...I'm a liberal!"
          -Phill Ochs, "Love Me, I'm a Liberal"

"Getting fucked" and "getting screwed" both refer to having sex, but they also both mean to be cheated or ruined, or something similarly negative. Is this the vilification of sex or just a coincidence? I don't think there's any other sex-phrases like this. You wouldn't really say, "Man, they really made love to me."
