  • Love has a deeper feel to it and it doesn't happen overnight.

  • You can only make love to someone you love and It's about satisfying both your needs and his.
    Sex is between two horny individuals with no feelings for eachother, even if one person have feelings and the other don't have at that time.
    Simple as that.

  • sex is just a physical attraction. love goes beyond that, it includes feelings. it's something much much deeper

  • Love aex is some 1 you love an marry or just have a life long relationship with like opras relationship

  • There isn't a real difference, but they have different connotations. Making love is especially with a significant other, while having sex could be with anyone.

  • Sex is just fucking making love is a much deeper connection when the mind and body come together

  • Having sex is just that, having sex
    Making love is something you do with your SO, loved one as it's more intimate, or should be

  • Making love is taking your time enjoying yourself by not cumming till she has making it as enjoyably as possible and an earth shattering orgasm Sex is slam bam thank you mam

  • When making love happens you will know the difference.

  • ehh as an emotionally distant guy I dont really care. Its fucking. I could only do with someone I care for deeply.

  • Sex is just about the physical act, making love is also about the emotional connection.

  • It depends on the person to some people it's the same thing

    From my personal experience sex is me trying to get it over with so I can go do something else

    Making love for me involves kissing caressing foreplay and ton of other things

  • Having sex only requires a penis and vagina. Making love requires the whole person in every sense.

  • Hard anal is not making love. Sometimes lust is just as good as love lol.

  • Having sex is physical
    Making love is emotional

  • Love v Lust!

  • Same difference as how many people you've slept with versus how many people you've had sex with.

  • Is there a difference? I cannot have sex with someone without affection and love being the part of the equation. Sometimes the sex is fast, lustful and furious, sometimes it is slow and sensuous, In either case, love is involved (at least in my mind). Just to clarify, I'm polyamorous by nature if that helps understand my position.

    • Actually the polyamorous added to the statement left me Completely baffled and confused. 🤔 I assumed such a statement would have come from a monoamorous or a monogamous individual.

    • @meetkitty123 Ah, I can see why I caused confusion. I muddled the response by unnecessarily adding another dimension to the answer. Taking that out of the equation, for me when I have sex with someone, there as to be an emotional connection (which I term as love). Even if the sex is fast and lustful, it is still strongly influenced by the love between the two participants. Without that it is either a rape or a commercial transaction. Sorry about muddying the waters. :-)

    • Your response is rather intriguing to me. I am a monogamous. I respect polygamy and have a theory that there are more than one type. Those who engage in causal sexual behavior with other polygamy individuals who have no intention of being exclusive or forming a bond. The kind who have selected sexual partners who they feel a bond with but the partners are individuals and have nothing to do with each others and then an exclusive polygamy grouo in which it is a group of individuals who are exclusive to each others and form a bond to each member in the group... What do you think? Im just quite curious about the thoughts of a poly who does claim a love bond. Your response above is exactly what I always say about sex. I can't unless I love a person. I have had sex with only people I love and have had a few exclusive long term relationships but one at a time.
