I think so. Making love is when partners show their love and affection towards each other, sometimes sex is included as well (but it doesn't have to be). So the answer I give is you have to be in love in order to make love. Otherwise it's just hooking up with someone.
I feel “love” is in “making love” for a reason.

What's Your Opinion? Sign Up Now!Oh man, good question. You should do both, different strokes for different blokes lol. Try to be both, at certain times.
You perhaps have to be in love to make love yes. It takes time to learn what she likes, and how she likes it. And where her favourite erogenous zones are, and when/how you should stimulate them.
Making love is the whole experience, including foreplay, going down on her etc. The intercourse part is usually centred on her and how she likes it.
Fucking is fast and hard for your pleasure, and yours alone. She is really just being used for one goal, and one goal only. Your orgasm.
I have yet to find a girl that hasn't liked this. Just grab them, bend them over the table, pull her panties down and do your thing. As hard and fast as you want to achieve your goal of cumming.
Making love, if done well is done with her as the centre of attention. Fucking her is about you. And every girl I have been with likes to be used this way from time to time, as long as it's only the exception and not the rule ;)
Fundamental difference between "having sex" and "making love" is:
A) "Having sex" stems from lust (could be positive, especially the "first spark", "love at first sight" kind of thing);
B) While "making love" stems from love, which by definition is being patient, kind, unselfish, forgiving, concern for the welfare of the other.
With the above definitions,
"having sex" can be without emotions. Hence both just need to lust for each other's body and enjoy the carnal pleasures from it.
But "making love" is about pleasing each other.
Yes, he learns about her and knows how to pleasure her according to how she likes it; while she learns about him and knows how to pleasure him according to how he likes it.
Then when they meet, they keep on pleasuring each other until they finally enters the bedroom. They then demonstrate their love for each other by "having sex".
Conclusion: "Having sex" is a very small subset of "making love".
Not really. isn't it more important how you feel inside as opposed to what label you attach! I would argue that if there is passion and connection you could call it either love making but whats important is how you felt within. If you were to describe the event to your boys and said the word fucking (cause of the male ego thing) dosnt mean you didn't feel how you felt when it happened. Call it what you want words are just sounds and labels. Does that make sense
