Translation Needed

Can you please translate the following 2 sentences. I can translate them, but their meanings do not make sense. Please help.

1. Portate bien y pilas con ese comportamiento sexual.

2. Te mando mucha fuerza y no te la dejes montar del gringo.

Thanks.

Here's my best shot: (VERY idiomatic expressions.)

1) Behave yourself, and best of luck with this sex thing.
2) I wish you strength, and don't cut this gringo ANY slack.

Now, in return for these loose, but accurate translations... I'm sure the whole board wants to know: what wierd sexual perversion is he demanding of whom? You, Chica? Is it that thing with the rubber chicken? Has he invited the labrador into your bed? :)

Good translations. Now I think we've earned the rest of the story!

Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult.

Yes Pilas means watch out so I'd agree as above.
