I once read a book where the narrator (Some teenage girl, and I cannot remember the book's name either) said how disgusting it was that adults called having sex, "making love".
She proceeded to describe how it was in the first place, awkward for her parents to talk to her about it, but to go ahead and use a euphemism instead of the actual action...
But I don't really see what's wrong with the term "making love". And actually, now the more that I think about it, there is a difference. A huge one.
When I think about sex, it is just the act. The act of taking ones clothes off, sticking a penis in a vagina (or a butthole, if you're gay) and having a one-night stand. One just to get on, experience the short-term pleasure, then get off. That's sex to me.
Making love. Well, it seems different to me. It is more than just the act of taking off one's clothes, and sticking a penis in a vagina (Or... you know if you're gay...). Yes, it is about pleasure, but it is about a long term pleasure. Its a private secret only you and your partner share. Like a smile or a glance that only lasts for a second, but it is still a moment. It isn't only about experiencing a sexual desire for yourself. Its about pleasing the other person. And it isn't only limited to sex. Its about curling up into each other's arms. Its about holding hands while walking, or hugging them from behind. Its about learning to accept each other's faults, and look at them as even more unique because you realize that what doesn't make them perfect, just makes them even more perfect. Its about discovering new things, things that most people don't know about him or her. Really? She likes it when you kiss her wrist? Really? He enjoys it when you play with his hands? She prefers hard pillows. He prefers eating his cereal without milk.
Making love is a process that just keeps going on. To me, its just spending time with him or her. That's what making love is.
