It never hurts to not use obscenity or profanity especially if you are new to the territory and don't yet know the rules. In general, Spain and Argentina are fairly libertine and obscenities regarding the sex act in an impersonal manner are very frequently used in everyday conversation. People who are too proper are considered as possible hypocrites. In Spain words are so relaxed that there's a family oriented sitcom on Spanish TV called Con el culo en el aire. That wouldn't happen in the US or Latin America in 2013. Profanities such as damning gods or mothers are less frequently heard.
The rest of the Spanish-speaking world is more conservative around women and children. Among men though those words are very common.
