Let’s talk about love: well, love making

Love making, sex, shagging, intercourse, fu*king, boning … do they describe the same act? I would argue not.

For me making love depicts an act of tenderness. I imagine candles, soft music, clean sheets, massage oils and an outpouring of emotion. With making love you have got to be in love with the person you are having ‘sex’ with.

Having sex on the other hand does not need to involve the emotion of love. Sex needs physical attraction, chemistry and lust. The candles, soft music, clean sheets, and massage oil become part of a rationally thought out process … it helps to get you into the mood.

What’s your preference and why? Love making or sex?
