Can you do it?

 

In 3 sentences or less (each)?

 

The wife and I were discussing it the other night, and she came up

with some definitions, but WAY more than 3 sentences.

 

Ladies always say they want to be made love to, but then what is

the differentiation from just sex?

 

I'd like to hear from everyone.

 

This could be good.

I will start the definitions. I will make it as short and simple as I can.

 

Sex is the selfish act of receiving satisfaction.

 

Making Love is the charitable act of giving satisfaction.

 

If both partners attempt to make love, then the result is a mutual expression of love.

Making love: Incredible, whether it's hot/carnal, or slow/gentle/sensuous pleasure. All emotional receptors open.

 

Sex: Palls, no sharing of emotions.

I don't agree...

 

Sex is the amazing act of receiving AND giving satisfaction.

 

Making love is the amazing act of receiving AND giving satisfaction AND love.

Sex means your are operating on a purely physical level. I disagree with previous poster, because as a woman, this may or may not end up with "gratification" e.g., orgasm, but it still might be fun. There, two sentences (ooops, that makes three).

Making love implies that you are somehow engaged on an emotional level as well, feeling affection or love, connectedness not just friction. Soul-touching, or attempts of this. You all know what I mean by this I hope, cause it's nice when it happens.

This was the easiest reply ever...

Sex is destination or goal oriented - going from point A to B.

 

Making love is stopping to admire the flora, caressing the foliage, taking in the fragrant aromas; when making love one does not care for the time or the path - it's all about the journey baby.

 

Sex is specific and ultimately technical while making love is holistic and fulfilling.

Beware of the word "always". And "ladies". But I beg to differ. Sometimes I just want sex. Pure, hot, friction-based sex. Variety is the spice of life, no?

It's all about your wiring. If an ONS or eff-partner is what you enjoy, that's fine too. It doesn't work for some of us. Banquet or nothing. Scratching an itch just doesn't compare to a spa treatment. Y'know? ;)

I think it all depend's on Passion and Love. If you have sex with NO passion and love then's it's a form of release. On the other hand, if you are having sex with someone that you feel passionate about, love deeply then it's a deep sensual bond of the body, mind and soul, in other word's GREAT SEX!

Alright, I'm about to expose my ignorance. What to ONS and eff stand for? Sorry, I'm a nube to some acronyms.

I'm married and what I was trying to say was that sometimes I just want sex but you're right, TBF, making love is the penultimate.

No problems.

 

ONS = one night stand

eff partner = friends with benefits

 

Making love doesn't have to be a slow, gentle interaction between two people. It can be as quick, hot and carnal as you want. It doesn't make it any less satisfying and any less loving or caring.

Sex is a mechanical act -- a bodily function executed to provide relief to oneself, much like farting or belching, or scratching an itch.

 

Making love involves the heart, and is a physical expression of one's love for another human being.

 

Both are GREAT!! :D:D

Thanks, TBF! I think I need a terminology primer for this site.

But I still have a question. What is sex then? You can have a quick, hot, carnal moment with a stranger on the street. Is that making love, too, if you feel warm for them in the moment? Mean them no harm. Wish them well... just curious to know your thoughts.

That's where the wiring comes into play. I've never had an ONS or even an eff-partner. I do recall what having sex was like at the end of one of my relationships when there was no love left. As previously mentioned, the difference was like scratching an itch v. getting a full body exfoliation at a spa...

Your sibling coming in your room and just laying with you b/c they know your upset; a teenage make out and great sex all in one... that's what making love is like.

Making love focuses more on emotional and spiritual connection.

 

Sex focuses more on making her claw the shyt out of your back.

Making love and having sex are exactly the same thing. That is self love. If it were otherwise a person would have sex with who needed it the most rather than who one most desires.

So are you saying if both partner's love their selves then they are having GREAT sex together?

I am saying sex is self love, whether you engage in an act of sex with yourself or any amount of other people. Sex or what is termed making love or being in a romantic relationship is for the purpose of gratification of self.

Yup, it's why women give blow jobs. All for personal gratification. :laugh:

Prostitutes of both genders have sex for self gratification. The love or need of money. It has nthing to do with love for another.

 

Hence people in relationships engage in sexual acts for self gratification, but the currency is not always the almighty dollar.

So what you're suggesting is that both men and women in relationships are nothing but prostitutes to each other?

People are in relationships for themselves, not the other person.

No doubt it begins that way but the most successful relationships are when individuals put the good of the relationship, before their personal needs. It won't happen everytime but if the relationship is properly fueled by both parties, it will succeed.

Pardon my rudeness, but I have to say it. I think you might want to do some reading and excercises in inductive and deductive reasoning before you endeavour to use the word "hence" again.

 

I think there is a reasonable argument that could be made that all acts are motivated by self gratification... ie: if it feels good to act altruisticly, then is it really altruistic? but that would be a totally different thread.
