Having sex is about satisfying your own needs. The over all goal is centered on you and hold a more lustful mindset.
Making love is about satisfying your partner. You make the other person the priority over yourself, meeting their needs becomes your goal. "Love"is about sacrificing your needs and wants for another and thats why you make the act centered on their needs and wants. Its all about the mindset and mental aspect of it behind the sexual acts. Both are healthy and good aspects of sexual health.

Making love is sort of like a spiritual bond, about focusing on your love and relationship, focussing purely on your love for each other...

Having sex for me, is probably a little easier for me to define, ... In my opinion... It's more about me concentrating on pleasing her, then concentrate on pleasing myself... And with the right partner you're both trying to please each other taking turns enjoying it to the fullest... Having sex can include naughty talking, games, objects, other people... etc.

Having sex is just recreational. Where as making love is an emotional connection with that one person in the world that you don't want to live without and will deny all others to be with.
Making love has a lasting satisfaction where sex is short term.

Making love is when you put your emotions into it and try to be more romantic and passionate. You can still have rough sex but its super passionate. Fcking is just usually hit and run/friends with benefits with no emotions involved

Sex is just about the feeing and release that comes with it. It’s simply down and dirty pleasure. But making love is about the experience together and what is shared and what is felt in that moment you both orgasm.

The same difference between driving to work normally, and driving to work 30 minutes late with a hangover.

Tobi_Lerone · Answer

For me "making sex" is just having sex. There surely is also a small emotional bond. But making love is more intense, because you usually love the other person.

Dargil · Answer

Lovemaking is slower and more relaxed. It is about the ongoing connection. Pauses. Intimate play. It is the closeness, not skills and results. Sex (sport fukking) is about performance, technique and results.

Nephilim000 · Answer

I think engaging in sex is mainly about getting your needs met while making love is about putting the needs of your partner first

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

When it comes to having sex, intimacy has to do with merging your physical needs and body parts with the other partner whereas lovemaking is more about connecting your minds and souls through the act of sexual intercourse.

Thatsamazing · Answer

... There isn't one. They're the same thing. Anyone that uses the term "making love" thinking that it's somehow magical or some crap, is just an idiot.

wondering_guy · Answer

Sex is reaching orgasm, full list, nothing else, making love is feeling each other, all over, her feeling him inside her, him feeling her as he enters her, the touch, desire.
