Why Do I Hate The Expression “Make Love”?

: Why Do I Hate The Term “Make Love”?
For some reason, I don’t like that term. I am an adult and I’m engaged I love my Fiance but to me it sounds silly. Even though I don’t like to call it the “F word” because that cheapens it. How do I get over thinking it sounds silly?
What’s the difference between sex and making love ?

because Ross said it on friends

Answer by rumpelteazer85
maybe because you’ve only had sex in the past and never made love

Answer by arualee
because you love the word HATE

Answer by DM
You can love someone and have great sex.

You can have great sex and not love someone.

You can also ‘make love’….which is on a completely different level. It’s a connection that is more than just sex.

I don’t like the term when used for having sex only either. Sounds insincere.

Answer by Ali15
Just ignore people when they say it…I am a teenager & I think that it’s also a very annoying way to put it. People should just say “to have sex.”

Answer by Natalie
Um, there’s really nothing you can do about it. Everyone has preference, and, apparently, you just think it sounds silly — there is no cure.

EDIT: The different between sex and making love:

Making love is having sexual intercourse passionately and with love. Making love is when you do it for your partner and not yourself.

Sex is just sex and it’s mostly one-sided. Sex is only for pleasure and no romance is involved.

Answer by SoundMind
It’s because society has made a joke about having a real loving relationship. It does sound silly when most couple have no love for each other and just f!ck. I’m not saying this is you, however a prevalent observation.

Use what term you think is right. If you love your fiance and want to make love with that person then that makes since.

Good Luck

Sex is only ” making love ” when you love the person you are having sex with. Promiscuous sex makes a mockery of the physical expression of love. With your fiance, you are making love manifest. The visible manifestation of your love for each other.Don’t ever feel silly about that.

I don’t see what you need to get over. It IS silly.

It’s a fake term, invented by Hollywood when they couldn’t say “having sex” anymore due to the industry decency codes that cropped up in the early 1930s.

I hate that term too-it’s inaccurate and misleading. You don’t manufacture love by having sex, and it’s dishonest to people (especially the very young, who don’t know better) to falsely lead them into equating love with sex by continuing to say so.

Answer by S J S
I don’t like the term either, it sounds too “cheesy”.

Answer by Mohican
Sounds stupid? love is mating with who ever, love uis mating with the one you love

Answer by Uwe
Your manifestation of hate, which itself is not a positive feeling, probably derivates from the fact that “making love” doesn’t sound very romantic to your ears. I agree.
The difference between sex and making love (if you refer to the verb ‘to sex’ and not the noun sex) is in the popular use inexistent. Both pretty much imply intercourse but ‘to sex’ can have a broader understanding and doesn’t necessarily require a literarily intercourse to be complete; for example: a long foreplay is pure sex but may not have ‘making love’ as its highest point.
In any event, what happens in between 4 walls between two adults doesn’t need any label, just to be enjoyed.
