MARSHA: He's out banging other women over the head with a club, while she sits at home trying to get the mastodon smell out of the carpet!

"banging" here means "having sex",right?
And what does "over the head with a club"mean?
Tahnks!

We have an image (from cartoons) of a caveman banging a cavewoman over the head with a club to capture her. Why does he capture her? Well, to have sex with her is one plausible reason, but the "banging" is referring to the capture, not the sex.

However, "banging" (without "over the head") is slang for having sex.
