There’s a certain connotation when we talk about two peoplemaking loveas opposed tohaving sex.
But is there any real difference?
We asked a sex coach to explain.
What does “making love” mean?
“There is also a growing understanding that all different kinds of sex can connect two people emotionally.”
Making love vs. having sex.
“By contrast, having sex is more utilitarian or less emotionally connected.”
Even casual sex can be very passionate, romantic, and filled with mutual care.
How to make love passionately:
Connect with your partner prior to sex.
Making love starts way before you get to the bedroom.
Learn about their intimate needs.
Learn what they find romantic.
“Romance is relative, so communicating what you like is also important,” Battle says.
What does romance mean to your partnerand to you?
Is it about a lot of kissing andcuddling?
Is it about whispering sweet nothings to each other during the act?
Is it about a sensual, romantic environment with candles and roses?
Talk about it together, and then make it happen!
Take your time in bed.
Spend more time savoring each moment.
Draw out each touch so it lasts even longer and feels even deeper.
Touch different parts of your partner’s body.
Genitals aren’t everything!
“Try experimenting with speed or pressure.”
Try eye gazing.
“Let the love that is in your heart shine out through your eyes.
Feel the sacredness of this simple moment together.”
The bottom line.
Making love is about expressing feelings of love through the act of sex.
