You can do what you wish, but be aware that when you say it, maybe YOU mean "very" or "awesome", but your listeners may hear something different. To me, the combination of a word that means sexual intercourse with a forceful tone of voice has a very unpleasant connotation of rape.
I can't keep you from saying it, but neither can you prevent that image from appearing in my mind when you say it. You're making a decision that a particular word choice is worth offending people.
In fact, I'd argue that you're choosing TO offend people. "Fuck" is an arbitrary syllable; you could just as easily say any other word. So your statement that "it's neutral" is not credible to me. If everyone DID get off their "high horse", if "fuck" became an everyday word on cereal boxes and in kindergarten classes, I bet you'd find a new word that sounded harsher, because it would no longer serve your purpose.
I'm not telling you what words to use, but I think your statement to "get off your high horse" is dishonest. You can't deliberately offend people and simultaneously ask them to stop being offended.
