"love making"

why can't people term it as something of a recreational activity, flare of passion and lust, something dirty practical and accurate?

  • The question should be completely reversed because IT IS used and abused exactly as you suggested. This is the problem most of ALL these questions on this site particularly are spawned from.
    There are maybe two questions or takes that suggested anything pure as making love. The rest of the garbage are exactly how you want it. This is why this generation is so messed up. Unemotional about the most emotional act humanly shared. And confused why about it, lol.

    Sex is emotionalized that's why people get hurt when it used and traded and not meaningful, because it is suppose to be beautiful, pure, exhilarating, and most of loving. Making Love is the purest healthiest emotion alive in our souls. THAT's WHY !

  • Go for it. The premarital thing is a forced construct. Yes, sex can be an extension of your love for a person. Also, it can be purely physical or a combination of both. Just enjoy. It's FUN. Relaxing. No sense holding on to "traditiona" that never made any sense to begin with. Don't forget, the ones who instated that ridiculous custom are the same people who STILL condemn birth control, thus causing HIV in 3rd world countries to still run rampant. Just be safe, make sure you are comfortable with it and enjoy yourself. Because guess what? You deserve it.

    • wow, this is motivational. thank you.

    • You are welcome. Again, make sure you are comfortable with it. That is always rule #1. If you need a talk, feel free to contact me.

  • Not everyone can separate the two. It’s a personality thing and as long as the emotional sex people don’t mix with the people who can separate every thing is good. Recreational sex can be emotionally harmful to an emotional sex person so it’s better not to do it.

    For us it’s better just to have the recreational sex with a trusted partner. Sometimes we are making love and some times we just have raw release. Emotional sex people can’t get full raw release unless they are with someone they care about.

  • Because that is what it is. Hookup culture has y'all thinking that sex is just a "wham, bam thank you ma'am" experience that was meant to be shared with any and everyone. It's not. Sex was never meant to be casual. It was always something that to be shared between two people that had actual feelings and emotions for each other.

  • Some people view sex a lot differently than others. To some, it is something they only do when they're deeply in love and is a very special and sacred thing. To others, it is simply recreational and a fun activity. It just depends on what meaning it has to you.

  • I could never have sex with someone i didn't love. Thus i term it love making

  • Because sometimes it can be emotional. It's what you make it.

  • The correct question is, why do some people treat sex as a recreational activity?

  • Because sex has massive potential consequences, even with modern contraception, and things with massive consequences need to be taken seriously and done with caution, and the best way to exercise the most possible caution is to reserve sex for only one individual with whom you feel you could manage even the worst of the potential consequences if it were to occur.

  • Because sex is tied to emotions. That’s a simple chemical reaction you can’t deny. Humans are wired like that. Sex is an intimate act so we release hormones that make us feel emotional and connect to the other person.

  • they do. it's called fucking

  • It can be both! depends on the mood, the chemistry, the people, the time, the place

  • Personally I can't think of having sex with someone who isn't in love with me, it's just weird and pointless to me.

    And about your question it just depend on the person.

  • I think all sex has some emotional aspect to it. just some a lot more than others

  • The thing is this, it's not just some people it's nearly all people. The reason being of course that sex isn't just there to have fun it's part of the human reproductive system and involves the birth and rearing of young. An emotional connection is needed to keep the family together to nurture the offspring into adult hood. The universe is complex with many natural laws having to do with everything that exists in it. If you have no emotional connection with sex something has gone wrong with you.

  • Sex is the most intimate thing you can do with another human being. It's tough to have that kind of contact with another person and not feel some level of connection with them.

  • Mostly because that is how it was meant to be.

  • Well you are right it is more like if you do love someone and you are sexual with each other it is just the icing on the cake it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with love and sex having anything to do with each other.

  • Because people have a need to assign some deep, matric meaning to everything. Also, because sex and sexuality is highly controversial, and because American society is built upon Puritan values based on self denial and self sacrifice, most people in society are afraid of enjoying sex and the judgement that it would entail if they did.

    So they need to assign some deeper meaning to their desire to have sex, "It was out of passion and love", "we made love", etc. It's a deep seated fear and shame that makes everyone feel the need to emotionalize sex, because society and their own self denying values lead them to believe that, if they enjoy sex itself, they're a bad person, they're swallow, a pervert, a slut, etc.

  • In a relationship, I agree. Out of an relationship, it shouldn't be done. Sex has to be respected, is not only something physical. There are also always feelings involved in sex that affect us for good or bad.

  • Some people are more succeptable to the hormonal after effects of sex/orgasm. It is something that generally increases and or creates bonding and relationships.

  • Because, the truth is, sex isn't a recreational activity. The number of unplanned pregnancies, the prevalence of sexually transmitted infections, and the fact that many men don't like to date virgins because of a perceived neediness on the part of the virgin after the sex, should tell you this!

  • Love making is very emotional, combined with foreplay , it's so great...
