When did the meaning of the phrase “make love” change?

Zach_EL: When did the meaning of the phrase “make love” change?
Nowadays to “make love” is a clear euphemism for sexual intercourse. Reading the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald, it is seems that circa the 1920s the phrase was connotative of seduction, flattery, to “hit on” someone. This has left me confused, when I hear the phrase used in any song or movie or literary work from a time period in between now and then, when it was that the meaning of the phrase shifted…

I don’t know but I was reading Little Women and it had something about them all making love to the baby, so maybe originally it was even less smutty.
