Spanish translation:se estaba cepillando / se cepillaba a menudo / se tiraba / se la estaba tirando

Explanation:
Puede ser otra opción. "Tossing" se refiere a "acostarse con alguien" (pero es una palabra bastante mal sonante, de ahí que haya puesto "cepillársela" o "tirársela") y "steady" se refiere a hacerlo a menudo.
Espero que sirva y perdón por el vocabulario, pero es lo que tiene la novela negra.
Saludos.
