Answer by izabel
you will know the difference when it happens.
sex is just that, sex…no passion, well maybe but it’s just lust
making love is passionate and overwhelms you in a good way

Answer by Bri
There’s no real definitive line there, only the definitions that people have. Both could mean “sex” to one person, or only “just sex” could mean sex to another. “making love” could mean just making out to another.

sex is just sex. making love is building up feelings

Answer by Optic
Sex is shagging because it feels good for you and you’ve got a descent girlfriend.

Making love is strengthening the bond between both of you and doing it because it feels good for you and your partner, and taking into consideration their needs.

Answer by KyleCat
“Just sex” is casual, “making love” is having true feelings for the one you’re having sex with.

Answer by Special Agt. Tippy
Sex is the just going through the motions to get rid of a stiffy.

Making love is more consuming because it involves pleasuring the other person “from head to toe” and being more concerned with showing your love though the union of intercourse. This could involve plenty of foreplay to warm things up, the actual intercourse, and then the snuggling/ catering afterwards.

Some guys don’t know the difference. Some girls don’t. They shouldn’t be used interchangeably, definitely.

how it is spelled and what the word means

Answer by MommyDearest
Just sex is lacking the emotion and passion. It is just about getting off. Making love is full of emotion, more than just lust. When there is a real connection with eachother and it is about more than just the climax.

Answer by Arianna
“just sex” is that ..just sex ..”making Love” is physical but there’s passion involved and is always better then “just sex” well in my opinion.

Answer by Emma
Just sex is a hookup, one night stand, it’s just sex- all animalistic drive and no emotion.

Making love is when you are in love and you- to be cheesy- physically show your emotions for someone. It doesn’t have to be all romantic, it could be I love you so much I want you to throw me up on the counter and have your way with me, but, it’s still with the understanding that I’m crazy about you and want to please you.

Answer by Jane
The male formula –

Making Love = Sex + Love

The female formula –

Making Love = Sex + Love + Candles + Rose petals + Romantic Dinner, followed by a moonlight walk where you both share feelings for each other.

From these deductions,

Just Sex = Sex

Making Love = Sex + Love

sex to music, candle lights, with rose petals everywhere.
when you get done, you fall asleep in each others arms.

any boy can have sex
but only a real man can make love

Answer by ingusmoen
Making love is an emotional connection during sex. It’s nurturing and feeling the tempo of each other, wanting to go slowly and make the feeling last and expand. It’s like slowly blowing up a balloon until it pops.

Tantric sex is more about making love. It’s slower and focuses on the two bodies building together as one. The intent is the experience and the joining.

Just sex means you’re riding on physical sensation only. It’s an anatomical release. It can be fast, hard, dirty. Instead of slowly blowing up the balloon, it’s using an air tank to pop it big and quickly.

One night stands are just sex, because there is no love there to make. Strong, hard, rutting, biting scratching pig sex CAN be making love, but only with the right two people. Usually that’s “just sex,” even when it’s done by two people who could catch their breaths and then start making love right afterwards.
