Can the expression “make love” mean something besides full on sex?

countrygirl: Can the expression “make love” mean something besides full on sex?
I want to know if the term “make love” can mean something besides actual sexual intercourse? I’ve heard it used in a different way before and I was just wondering.
Well it’s got me wondering because someone said this to me the other day. And it was not my husband. And I don’t know what to make of it. Was he kidding or not. Did he mean he wants to just kiss me or have a more intimate moment? I wouldn’t be so worried about it but this man is going to be around a lot for a while and I’m starting to feel uncomfortable about it.

to make love is to have a very passionate moment between two people.

it doesn’t have to be sex, but its mostly referred during that time.

I do not think so. The socially accepted/known meaning of that phrase is to have sex lol. It’s just more of a “nicer” way to say you want to bone lol.

Sex is definitely implied by it, though in the first half of the twentieth century, the term “making love” was used very frequently in popular culture. I think back then, when people said “make love,” sex was not the first thing that popped into everyone’s heads. Back then, when you said you wanted to make love to someone, you really meant that you loved them and wanted to share a close, intimate moment with them. Just my opinion, you’re free to agree or disagree.

I suppose you could interpret the phrase Make Love Not War into meaning changing a potentially lethal situation for the better by making people somehow love one another as opposed to killing each other.

Well, when Jane Austen says in Emma that, when Emma and Mr. Elton found themselves alone in a carriage, he “began to make passionate love to her,” she (J. A.) doesn’t mean that he tried to rape her! “Making love” can mean anything from uttering tender words on.

In the context of today’s modern vernacular, to “make love” means to “do it”…
and anyone who believes otherwise is not with the program.

In the old black-and-white Bette Davis movies (for example), it meant just strolling in the moonlight with a girl and saying sweet nothings.

Today it means bonking.
