Sex and love making, the difference.

What is the difference between sex and love making? I have been curious about this for quite a long time, so recently i decided to dig into the topic. After doing a little  research on net and based on people's opinions as well as mine, this is what I found best answers this question. Hopefully it will make sense to you.

Sex finishes once the physical act is over.
Sex do not require you to love or even  like the person you are having it with. It is more about your "getting off" rather than pleasing your sexual partner. Sex is  usually hard, hot and nasty.

But love making begins long before we make it to the bedroom. When it reaches the bed room, it is the end result like the 'cherry on top' of a day lived in a loving way. Love making can be experienced throughout the day and  throughout a relationship.

Sex describes a physical connection that leads to sexual pleasure. Sex can take place between a couple irrespective of the fact that they share love or any bond between them. Sex is just an urge for intercourse.

Love making is a feelings of affection, being intimate with your partner not only physically but also mentally. Making love pleases a person's physical, emotional, sexual and mental urges. Love making can also mean having slow and tender sexual intercourse.

You can also simply make love without having sex. Like making your partner a cup of tea, stealing a kiss, sharing a passionate look across a dinner table, snuggling and cuddling while watching a movie e.t.c.

Let me also add that most religion and cultures forbid sex before marriage. like Islam doesn't allow sex or any physical relationship before marriage because it gives it a form of an esteemed status by limiting it to husband-wife relationship.

Love making is the deep emotional connection and affection you have for that one person you truly love and care for, while sex is more about the physical relation.
There is no better way to experience love making than waiting for the right time, doing it the right way and with the right person. If the time is not right for you then abstinence from sex is the healthiest option. It also helps avoid the risks that comes with it.

There are other ways two people in a relationship can become closer and build trust without sex. e.g listening, sharing, respecting each other's thoughts and feelings and enjoying each other's company.

I hope that these answers helps you choose what is best for you.
