Well, they do both mean "go with": con- (with) + gressus (p.p. of gradi, to walk), co- (another form of con-) + itus (p.p. of iri, to go).
The characters on The Big Bang Theory keep mispronouncing "coitus"; the o and the i are supposed to be separate, like in "coincidence", "cooperate" and "coalition".

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
From Screwed:
"Once again, Thom Hartmann hits the bull’s eye with a much needed exposé of the so-called ‘free market.’ Anyone concerned about the future of our nation needs to read Screwed now."
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
Is it just a coincidence that one meaning of 'congress' is coitus and that's also where
the American people can count on getting screwed? (Also available at bookstores
near you.)
