Having sex is not same all the time. Sometimes you have sex with the person you love, but sometimes it is all about having raw and erotic intimacy. Sometimes its prolonged and slow without caring about the time or the orgasm climax, which can also be defined as making love. None of these terms are better than the other. Both have their significance and different meanings.
These two are not merely terms that just spells out the act of sexual activities. Differently, there is an actual and robust difference between the two that we will discuss today. It is no big secret now. You will be able to tell the exact difference once you have experienced it yourself. The line between the two can become a little blurry sometimes, but a healthy and flirtatious sex has a blend of both the terms. But let us see the actual differences between the two processes which will clear some air.
#1. Sex Is About Yourself Whereas Making Love Is About Your Partner
There are songs like “make love to me,” it has a real meaning. Making love is about you and your partner both. Having sex is about loving the feeling that YOUR body is having. Making love on the other is enjoying the shape of your partner and their satisfaction more than yours. Making love never happens with the skin of your partner whereas sex is only about the comfort of the body of your own.
#2. Sex Is About Climax, But Making Love Is About The Process
Sex has a reason that is the orgasm you have at the time of climax, whereas making love is enjoying the whole process, not just the height. From looking at each other to having the high time while making love, it is all important in the process of lovemaking. In sex, it is not essential whether you connect or not. You can have foreplay or not have it as long as you have the climax.
#3. Sex Can Be Done With Anyone Not Making Love
This is very obvious that you can’t make love to everyone as you need to love the one you are getting intimate with. Whereas sex can be done with anyone, you don’t even like. Love is all about the body. However, making love is not just about the shape it is way more than that. The one you are having sex with should be someone you love and care and it will be called making love.
#4. Sex Is About Physical Intimacy, But Making Love Is About Emotional Interaction
As far as we talked, it is pretty clear that having sex is all about as it’s meaning says. Making love is intense and involves emotional interaction on a decidedly deeper level. Sex does not include sensitive connection and is a sum of all the physical intimacy. Communication on the emotional level is not needed to have sex nor does a relationship.
#5. Sex Is Communicating Dirty, And Love Making Is Connecting
Communication is essential as far as lovemaking is concerned. However, in sex, the only connection you will experience will be the dirty talks. You can say anything while you are making love whether it is sloppy or-or romantic. Whereas if you say anything romantic while having sex, it might not get considered on a decidedly deeper level.
#6. Sex Involves Physical Vulnerability However Love Making Involves Emotional Vulnerability
The act of vulnerability is involved in both making love and having sex. However, the motivation of the weakness is hugely different in both the cases. Sex involves physical vulnerability, and love making involves emotional vulnerability. You are emotionally connected when making love to each other. Therefore, the vulnerability decreases.
#7. Sex Does Not Involve Feeling But Making Love Does
Let’s be real that the motivation behind having sex is just constitutional requirements. But, lovemaking involves feelings and that too a lot. Orgasm is, of course, necessary in both the cases, but only orgasm is not the case in lovemaking. While making love, you are trying to connect with a close intimate bond. An orgasm can’t decide the time of lovemaking as it can take hours.
#8. Sex Keeps Mind In Orgasm And Making Love Keeps Feelings
Sex is about reaching the climax as we discussed earlier as well. The people who are in love and want to stay together has the least priority to reach the peak. Love making has many feelings involved, and commitment makes the act of making love even more special. Having sex has its enjoyment. Sex does not include the complications of a relationship. It can happen in a relationship and without involvement as well.
#9. Sex Is A Neutral Term Whereas Making Love Is A Tender Term
Sex is a term used for raw and erotic intimacy between two people. However, lovemaking is about tender and loving sex. It is about satisfying your own needs, and making love is about adoring the body and soul of your partner. Making love can never hurt you physically or emotionally whereas sex has the capability of destroying you emotionally and of course physically.
#10. Sex Becomes Instinctive, But Making Love Is Seductive
Sex, as we all know, is a process which involves biomechanical technique.The act of making love consists of the art of seduction. You will try to seduce your partner if you love them to satisfy them physically. However, when you are having sex, you care about your orgasm and seduction, not really about your partner on that more profound level.
#11. Sex Touches The Body; Making Love Touches The Heart Instead
It seems cliche though but is true in every grain. Making love leaves a mark on the heart of the partner. Feelings don’t figure in having sex. However, intimacy with the one you love and care about is different and intense. You can have sex even if you are in a relationship and won’t feel a thing. But if you have found a combination of having sex and making love with your partner, you are apparently lucky.
#12. Sex Makes Bye Easier Whereas Making Love Makes Goodbyes Harder
Alright, this is undoubtedly an extremely important and significant difference. If you are in love, the hardest thing to say is ‘goodbye’ after you have had sex. Making love is though not necessarily resulting in having sex always. Sex is also communication and connecting with each other, however, staying and being in a sustainable relationship leads to making love. You need an urge to show your partner that how much you appreciate them to make love to them. Physically it is all the same, but emotionally it changes almost everything.
Making love and having sex can be in one relationship as well, but you need to have that partner with whom you feel loved and have the comfort to have the erotic sex as well. Thus, it was our list of points that showed how making love and having sex are hugely different. Let us know your suggestions as well in the comment section below.
