In Swedish, "snigla" ("to snail") is the female equivalent of "olla" ("to bellend"). That is, to rub your genitalia against some thing or another for mischievous purposes.

I love that they have words for these things I've never considered anyone might do

Yes.

mischievous purposes.

What's the word for when it's innocent or good purposes?

Or when it's a neutral, mutually beneficial tradeoff purpose?

The snail connection probably comes from this old high brow joke only told in the best of chambers:

Q: Why do women have legs?

A: If they didn't they'd leave snail trails everywhere they go.
