Making love.... what makes it making love and not just sex to you?

Looking into each others eyes...

Making love can last all night, sex is over in a moment of lust...i guess.

idk im stil virgin

I've never had sex for sex sake if I have sex I need to have some feeling for the lady besides lust.

Two become one...bark

Emotional connection and tenderness at the appropriate times.

Just wanting eachother!!

Knowing that you can't imagine being with someone else!

"There's so many ways your sweet love's
Made this house into a home
You've got a way of doing
Little things that turn me on
Like standing in the kitchen
In your faded cotton gown
With your hair all up in curlers
I still love to lay you down"
( Conway Twitty)

Sex is quick relief. Making love encompasses the whole person, your partner, that person who shares your values ,your goals, the person who will always have your back in good times and bad, .... I'll always love to lay her down and fortunately, she feels the same.

I love the way you answered this question. She is very lucky and so are you. Thanks for your beautiful comment. :)

You're doing something wrong if that's how you feel !! :)

Being in love with who you're doing

Who you are doing??

"Do" is slang for sex. If you're doing somebody, you're having sex with them

Ooooo, I understand the meaning of the word. But that is like calling your wife your 'old lady' or 'your baby maker'. Not much respect for someone you LOVE!!

Yeah, that's the difference. Is it making love, or are you just doing the person? Love v. lust. THAT is what makes the difference

Agree!!!

doing it with someone you actually love

love vs lust...that's the difference

The emotional connection. If you aren't in love with the person then it's just sex.

no...it is just aerobics!!

3 weeks Abstinence beforehand, with someone who is really special to you.

I don't know..

sex with a person u love

It has been a few years but to make love one should not feel compelled to do anything and everything should be done to bring pleasure to your partner in a setting of both of your choosing.

Making love involves a deep emotional bond to the other person. It's not just sex.

I believe in Tantra, very slow sex and a combination of co0nscious deep breathing and mental concentration and semen retention.
This allows the female to have many multiple orgasms and creates a closed curcuit of life energy that will recharge the lovers.

Its not easy but it sure beats pro-creation.
More and more people are finding out about it cause we already have enough people on the planet.
Now what we need is more enlightenment.
Its the next step.
If this all sounds like hooey, don't bother to reply. Just dismiss me as a nutcase and go about your day.
I hope everyone has a great day and an even better night ;-)

Genuine passion.

The passion, and the pace, I think making love is slower and meant to be enjoyed, whereas just sex is hard and fast, a "wham-bam, thank-you, ma'am" thing

the amount of time spent........amongst other factors.

I'm sorry that you feel you have never made love. It is an awesome feeling....that I hope you get to experience.....there is nothing like making love to someone that you truly care about...and expressing that to them.

We all make some bad choices my friend. I have sure made my share! I was married to a Marine for nearly 19 years....we have been divorced for years now....and he chose to leave me for another man. Couldn't compete with that. I was devastated. But, I hope to find love again one day and make a good decision. I hope the best for you always.....

He hid well for many years. I know the USMC doesn't accept that type....but I did suspect it even in our early Marine Corps days. But, I was in denial for years. Loved him so much that I didn't want to believe that about him and especially because he was a very proud Marine.

sorry...
