Are Making Love and Sex the same thing?

The world we live in is filled with sick things like having sex with someone you don't even know and one night stands and lust. There's no emotion behind it.



Making love is the complete opposite, right? You make love because you love each other and because you want to please the other person. For no other reason but love.



I want to know everyone's thoughts on this.

"Are making love and sex two different things? If so, how are they different?"Are Making Love and Sex the same thing?In today's standards, "making love" and "sex" are two different things. This is why some guys who don't want commitment, leave a girl who calls it "making love", because when they hear that verbiage, they automatically think the girl wants more out of the relationship. If you're old-fashioned (like a lot of people still are), then sex and making love are the same thing, and it's always done for love and romance. There are also some people who are completely offended when their partner refers to it as sex and not making love. There are so many variations to things these days, that sometimes you just feel like throwing in the towel and giving up.Are Making Love and Sex the same thing?
Thank you all for your responses ^-^

Are Making Love and Sex the same thing?NO..... emotion is the difference.
Of course they are different. You have to be in love to make love. Sex is purely physical.Are Making Love and Sex the same thing?I think making love is the type sex that has more romance involved. Sex really is just sex made purely for self gratification.Are Making Love and Sex the same thing?
Love is a funny word and means different things to different people............however I agree with you.
Yes they are different, for the reasons you specifed.



when you hear someone say "I had sex last night" you think of raw, rough, passionate actions whereas when you hear someone say "I cant wait to make love to my husband/wife" you think of intimacy and love.



*Not that making love can't be dirty, im just sayin for sake of the arguement.Are Making Love and Sex the same thing?
to me its just sex "making love"is just a polite way of saying it,,all boils down to same thing i personally think saying "making love"sounds real cheesy,i prefer a more straightforward way of saying things
NO sex is exciting and dirty and wild



making love is for married people its nice.
No, it's nowhere near the same thing...
you have to be in love to make love. sex is just to fufill ones needs*
making love is enjoyable and more for play and More interment sex is just get it done that's no fun there isn't for play or Any romance we like romance and take it slow and then the for play
I agree that making love involves being in love, whereas sex is more just the act. I always get a mental image of making love being romantic and tender, but it doesn't have to be.
Yes. One is an act with no emotion (like masturbating, but with a person). The other is like masturbating with another person, but with emotion.
when someone says 'making love' i think of the hippies era when everyone was all like ' i love you mannn'

now, sex is sex. whatever you wana call it. thats what it is.

you dont need emotions. you dont need to know them. or call them the next day. its the society we live in.
i agree with youuuu
I think you're wrong. Some people can have very emotional sex with someone they just met. It may seem weird to you and me, but that doesn't make it sick. That part is just your opinion. Sex, coitus, making love, doing the nasty, F-ing, whatever you want to call it; it's all the same thing. The difference is the people and how they happen to feel at the time. We are all different and have different feelings. As long as there is mutual consent, why worry about it?
No, they are different phenomena, both in emotional connectivity and in intensity. Frankly, "making love" sounds desirable, but it comes across as banal, boring, and most likely to inspire a coma. On the other hand, earth shattering, mind numbing sex with someone you actually care about is food for the soul!
You can feel the difference
I could have said they're one and the same but I think you're right. There's a distinction from one to the other. It's the same act but never the same.
I think this can be a no or yes answer that can be argued from both sides. I'll argue the no side. I've had very passionate one night stands, I'm a passionate person and have come across other passionate people with whom I didn't even know and had amazing sex. If you were looking through my window you would think we were very much in love. In the moment we both felt an electrifying connection but we were far from your traditional definition of "in love".

Also I'm sure there are many many couples who are "in love" who can't get it right and have terrible sex. I believe when people think of "making love" and "having sex" they are measuring the level of passion not the level of love.
NO they aren't when you just have sex you can sleep with anybody just to scratch your itch and take care of your need.and move on on don't have feeling for the person. It is just lust.

Making love is deep when you are emotional and compassionate with the one you love sex is so great because you both would be into it and you will both feel each other passion.
Lust is an emotion, so what do you mean there's no emotion behind it? Lust is just as valid as any other feeling.



I don't understand how you hate sex so much - I feel sorry for anyone who marries you, because with you it will be missionary only, because any variety might be an indication that sex is inherently pleasing.



See, when you say its purpose is "to please the other person", you are cutting out 50% of the fun. Because good sex involves you receiving pleasure too.
Yes and no.



Making love is one method of having sex. So is phukcing for physical pleasure only. Both can be performed by people who love each other.
This is a difficult question. Because when I "make love" to my lady, I am actually having sex with her. So, having sex is a part of making love. But, the difference to me is the emotional bond is so much stronger when I make love to the woman I am having sex with. Sometimes my fiance and I have more passionate sex and we change it up to keep it exciting. But, I always think of it as making love to her. It's exciting with her and never boring. But, we love each other and the emotional bond makes it so much more exciting.



I once had a relationship where I just had sex with a lady. The sex was OK. But, it just didn't feel right for me. I am not one of those players who wants to have sex with every good looking babe I see. I would rather be romantic and give my passion to the woman I love. The romantic set-up to making love makes it much more pleasurable for me.



Almost any mammal can have sex with almost any other mammal. But, only a human being can actually make love. The knowledge that your lover is faithful and true to only you makes a difference. Giving your body and soul to another human being can be a very spiritual thing.



When you "have sex" with a person you don't love, you are missing out on the intimate feeling that comes when two hearts are beating as one. only a person who truly loves another can ever experience this feeling.
They are in function exactly the same, it is the intention behind them that changes them. Nothing more.

Just because you love someone doesn't mean you aren't having sex to get off.
When I am alone it's all the same :(
Same action just different feeling about it.
Making love is gay...



Having sex is fun...



So yeah, what you said.
Yes, they can be.

And I disagree that lust and one night stands are "sick" things. Sex is fun. Everyone should do it, and do it often.

I have sex because I want to please that person and be pleased in return. That's true whether it's "making love" with a long term partner or sport fu*k!ng a total stranger.
You are correct...although there are times even in a marriage where you just want hot sex.

I tend to think of making love as slow, tender and leisurely, but that's not the ONLY kind couples have.
No. Making love is way better. It's a physical expression of love. And it feels d*mn good!
