EDIT: Ignore me, talking out of my ass apparently.

Uh, well to alkylate something is to make it more alkaline, that is to make it less acidic.

In the case of the girlfriend, I believe the joke is that the OP fucked her, since the vagina is very slightly acidic and semen is more alkaline. The others are just nonsense to me.

Mind you, all of that’s a giant shot in the dark. I work in electronics, not chemistry.

    To alkylate is to attach an alkyl group, which basically means attaching a saturated hydrocarbon chain to them, which is shown with the bendy things attached to the people in the image.

    I think you're thinking of alkal in the sense of alkaline, which is basic/high pH
