You think there’s a difference?

Question

Guy said it’s the same thing to have sex and make love I said it’s definitely not!

To me, "sex" is the umbrella term covering all variations, such as "shagging", "boning", "making love", etc.
"Making love" on the other hand is a more "specialised" word which further describes something about the sex.

I like to use "make love" or "lovemaking", but to me, it is more about the mental and emotional connection rather than the actions performed. So I will use these terms for any kind of sex with feelings of love; even when having animalistic, rough sex.
Others will likely limit the terms to more vanilla, sensual practices.

I'm sure there's a difference but for myself, I could make love to a girl without it being sexual or even leading to sexual stuff cause I don't believe in sex until after marriage I'm old school I believe the guy should hold the door for the girl, the guy should once in while buy his girls roses or flowers to express his love to her?

Yes- one is a legitimate expression, one is a euphemism.

Hamiltonic · Answer

In a technical sense, yes it can mean the same thing In a deeper (hence more important) sense, no. Definitely what you want is to make love, since sex without love is... meaningless.

It's the same thing: sexual intercourse. The term "making love" was created specifically because "having sex" was considered too vulgar to say in polite company, so they created a more gentle term. But it does mean the exact same thing.

Sex is a physical exercise. Love is a emotional connection enhanced by sex.

For all the one night stands I had... it was just fucking. With my wife it always starts making love until she cums a few times, then it's fucking... hard fast and rough.

You can have sex without making love, but you can't make love without having sex.
