Yes, because as we all know – sex does not equal love.

Most of the people who do that actually do love each other!

Note I use the word “do” not “want to do”.

Yeah, I’ve always thought it was a little awkward calling it that.

No, it’s just incomplete.

At least to me, there’s a difference between having sex with a friend and making love to a lover. The process may be the same, but when with a lover, it feels far more powerful… well, it used to lol!

I actually think it is funny when people say they are IN love, and then MAKE love. Like, you’re already IN love .. so .. why do you need to MAKE love?

Answer by Shinzy
Euphemisms exist because many people are prudes.

People are strange. For some reason they don’t like saying ‘intercourse’ or just frankly ‘having sex’.

Answer by fistycuffs
It is not strange, it’s cute. Now, when you are in the throes of passion you do not say ‘make love’ you say “f” me and that is not a euphemism either.

Given your age, you know this is a very old term that encompassed activity from hand holding to hugging and kissing. At that time it was rarely used to make reference to the act of sex.
