People just love to sugarcoat things

Answer by Samantha
I believe that there is a difference between having sex and making love. Making love is something you do with your partner when the bond is there and there is a sense of unity. Sex is simply a primal urge to get a simple sexual pleasure. Two strangers can not meet and have a love making session but they can have sex.

because the word sex has become dirty and taboo, so people say make love to make it sound less sleezy/slutty. Just another example of political corretness goine mad

There is a difference, and from what I’ve observed people say making love when they like the person they did it with, both emotionally and physically. I don’t hear men use that term making love that often though.

Because love must be manufactured like all things. Even when you do not love each other, love must be made for the people who aren’t having sex but do love each other.

I have one night stands so that christians can love each other and stick to their faith (no sex before marriage). Admit it, my logic is flawless AND i am helping people with their faith by making love for them so they can have some without having sex.

BTW i am behind on my quota if anybody wants to help me out
