Alkanadi:Do you find it easier to swear in other languages. I never swear in English. When it comes to other languages, swearing is just another word in the vocabulary without any heavy connotation. For example, I can say fek or Kial la fek without feeling bad. Should I feel bad about it? Do the same rules of politeness apply?Swearing in a native language actually uses a much less complex area of your brain. Explaining why many stroke victims (my grandmother included) are fluent in sailor. The words have been given the negative association because of how you were raised to feel about it and how people around you behaved towards their use, so while you may know what "fek'" means, your now-not-extremely-young brain has not been exposed to the negative reactions it may elicit, and have not from birth been told that "fek'" should absolutely not be repeated. At least that's my theory. I like to talk about this sort of thing as the human brain is as debatable as black holes. Gxis!

To me fek has the same profoundness as fuck or faen (norwegian), but I dont feel bad for using those words either. I would say that the level of politness should be the same, depending on who you are talking to.

Also, saying "fek'" in Esperanto is the rough equivalent of saying "poop", since "feki" is the totally normal, non-swearing way to say "to defecate" in Esperanto. It's not super polite to go around yelling "poop" everywhere but it's not comparable to yelling "s::*" everywhere.
I wouldn't go using it if you are trying to sound professional and respectful, obviously, but it's fine for informal conversation with friends.

I don't even swear that much, if ever, when talking to people I know well. It's rather uncouth.

Given the peculiar usage of Esperanto (compared to the national languages) it is difficult for the 'fi-vortoj' to have the same force that their formal equivalents in some national language might have.
'Germanaĉo', for example, isn't technically a fi-vorto, but because of the values of Esperantistaro is likely to excite greater disapproval than say 'fekulo'. (I await the red pen of the admin)
