Oh, lutum lenonium,
commixtum caeno sterculinum publicum,
impure, inhoneste, iniure, inlex, labes popli,
pecuniae accipiter avide atque invide,
procax, rapax, trahax— trecentis versibus
tuas impuritias traloqui nemo potest...

Oh, dirt of pimp, public manure-heap mingled with filth, foul, dishonorable, lawless, seducer, ruin of the people, rapacious hawk greedy and malevolent, shameless, grasping, covetous - (even) in three hundred verses no one can recount your impurities...

Plautus in Persa, lines 406-411.

Quid hoc quod te rogo?
noctu in vigiliam quando ibat miles, quom tu ibas simul,
conveniebatne in vaginam tuam machaera militis?

Perprurisco, perpruriscere = to itch all over with lust.

By the way, this thread doesn't seem to me to match its title. There are more love/sexual things than insults here. It should be "sexual things and insults" or something of the kind.

I love the theory that mentula is simply the diminutive of mens, which makes perfect sense and explains the gender.

It would indeed make more sense (at least to a modern mind) to say "I'll fuck you in the ass and you'll suck my dick" rather than "I'll fuck you in the ass and I'll suck your dick", but that's what's written in my dic... My idea is that maybe it could mean either...
From The Latin Sexual Vocabulary by J.N. Adams:
Irrumo and fello describe the same type of sexual act, but from different points of view: irrumo from the viewpoint of the active violator...
...Irrumatio was in general regarded as a hostile and humilating act...

So I think irrumare translates best in to English as "to face fuck".

But that's not really an insult, is it? Did the Ancients have another way of describing this delightful action?

No indeed the first one isn't - the second one could be kind of one I guess... I don't know whether you have noticed, but it's been long since more sexual things than insults have been posted in this thread. It started right from the beginning actually. I've already said somewhere above that the thread doesn't really match its title...
Did the Ancients have another way of describing this delightful action?
No clue. If I happen to find one I'll let everyone know.

The Latin Sexual Vocabulary by J.N. Adams has some pretty interesting observations. From reading that, I think that
se fricare
would have a clear implication.
