difference.
The End of the Discussion
Sometimes people get into heated discussions about the
difference between sex and lovemaking. The way I see it, making
love often includes sex, whereas sex doesn’t necessarily include
making love.
I find it useful to go with the dictionary’s definition of sex
as a physical activity, i.e. sexual intercourse or some other
physical activity directly aimed at satisfying the sexual need.
Making love, on the other hand, is much more than that – just
like the words say: lovemaking is the creation or expression of
love.
11 Sexual and/or Lovemaking Activities
Let’s look at 11 specific activities to define the differences
between sex and lovemaking more closely:
(1) Looking lovingly or with sexual innuendo at each other – is
it …
… sex? No.
… lovemaking? Yes, it can be.
(2) Saying loving or sexually arousing things to each other – is
it …
… sex? No.
… lovemaking? Yes, it can be.
(3) Sharing an energetic link or connection and exchanging
energy – without physically touching and with or without the
energy being sexually arousing – is it …
… sex? No.
… lovemaking? Yes, it can be.
(4) Sharing an energetic link or connection and exchanging
sexually arousing energy while physically touching other body
parts than the sexual organs – is it …
… sex? No.
… lovemaking? Yes, it can be.
(5) Hugging each other – is it …
… sex? No.
… lovemaking? Yes, it can be.
(6) Kissing each other – is it …
… sex? No.
… lovemaking? Yes, it can be.
(7) Petting each other on the outside of your clothes, but not
touching the sexual organs – is it …
… sex? No.
… lovemaking? Yes, it can be.
(8) Touching each other on the outside of your clothes, and
touching the sexual organs, but NOT with the purpose of sexual
satisfaction – is it …
… sex? No.
… lovemaking? Yes, it can be.
(9) Being naked and touching or petting each other’s sexual
organs with the purpose of sexual satisfaction – is it …
… sex? Yes.
… lovemaking? Yes, it can be.
(10) Kissing and licking each other’s sexual organs with the
purpose of sexual satisfaction – is it …
… sex? Yes.
… lovemaking? Yes, it can be.
(11) Having sexual intercourse (latin: coitus) – is it …
… sex? Yes.
… lovemaking? Yes, it can be.
As it is pretty obvious from this, making love can be just about
anything and can satisfy many different kinds of need while sex
is a physical activity designed to
stimulate and satisfy the needs of the sexual
organs.
This is one way to end the discussion of the differences between
sex and lovemaking. It isn’t, of course, the only way to do so,
but this way to define the differences between sex and
lovemaking, is in fact a useful one.
