I looked the literal definition up on WEBSTER.com
One entry found for lovemaking.
Main Entry: love·mak·ing
Pronunciation: 'l&v-"mA-ki[ng]
Function: noun
1 : COURTSHIP
2 : sexual activity; especially : COPULATION
so it says, "sexual activity"... the act of 'making' in the english language usually and typically pertains to a literal action, but to sort-of contradict myself i'd say that 'love' is an action.
in my non-collegiate mind (aka: the hopelessly pathetic romantic in me) says; love making is what you make of your love. what you and that person are together, when together, and even when not together, is when the making of love happens. i can show my SO that i love him in millions of ways other than 'making love' or as you will, 'having sexual relations' with him. Its intense and beautiful and the first time that we did make love, it was... making love. i was showing him that i was falling in love with him. making love and sex are generally the same thing.. but when you start defining those acts as "fucking" that's where i disagree. 'fucking' is NOT an act of love or even, sexual desire (in my mind). 'fucking' brings on this dirty thought... as if it really didn't matter who was behind that condom (hopefully).
making love isn't something you can achieve with just anyone...
that's just my opinion.
i dont think i described this the way i entirely was wishing to do so. but maybe i got my point across?
