To want to snigger every time I hear the phrase making love

[NeedsAsockamnesty]

Pertinent information ....

I'm an actual grown up and have been for several decades.

I don't snigger when I hear "fancy a shag/fuck/quickly or anything like that it's just when it's making love.

And I cannot say it without snorting

So AIBU?

Hate the term and never use it.

Fuck, shag, bonk, rumpy pumpy, nooky. Any of those are waaaay more classy.

Making boom boom

And you snort at 'making love'!? JESUS CHRIST.

'Jummy Jummy' mrsdavidbowie
That's brilliant!!!

From now on I'm just going to say "do you fancy putting your penis in my vagina" and try and keep a straight face

"Male human I have chosen as my pair bond, would it please you to put your penis in my vagina this eve and we can conduct sexual intercourse"

What about 'would you like to ejaculate up my crevice'
Hahaha - I could just imagine dh's face

We used to call it Boombaloom because we watched a documentary about bonobo apes and couldnt quite remember what they were called. That was when we shagged alot. Now its just fuck.

Bury the sausage

'Making love' makes me want to vomit out of my eyes. When I was a small wee thing, kids at school were asking everyone, "are you a virgin?" I said no, as I thought it might be a bad thing; cue lots of laughter, etc. I went home and asked my parents, who were having a cuddle, and my DF said, "a virgin is someone who has never made love". Baffled, I was none the wiser.

But that is still what pops into my mind when I hear ML

YANBU. the phrase sounds daft and makes me cringe.

However, it's still not in the same league as 'intercourse'. Yuk !!

Urgh! Can't bear to even type it out! Makes me criiiiinge!

Would you like to ejaculate up my crevice? Far too ambiguous. Would need to be accompanied by hand signals.

I'm pretty sure that crimes against the English language have been committed in this thread.

This thread has reminded me of a book I read years ago in which the older, slightly desperate bloke finally gets the woman he's been chasing, into bed. As they're preparing to [insert verb of choice] he clutches her and pants, "I want to make love to you really badly "
To which she can't help but think, I would rather you made love to me really well

Excellent start to my Monday!

Ide rather say "making love" than " baby dancing"... I would also rather say to my husband "make love to me" rather than "come f**k me".

Making love should always be the aspiration, even if it's not always attained. I think fucking should always be done accidentally.

Bonk sounds like something sheep do.

I like it, it sounds tender to me. It has its place. There's also a place for earthier expressions, if that's what's called for! But in general, no, it doesn't 'make me snigger' or 'cringe', it gives me a warm, happy feeling.

I think different people 'hear' phrases differently. If I squint up my ears and turn my brain a little bit, with a bit of effort I can 'hear' the phrase making love sounding a bit stilted and oldfashioned and twee. But I have to work at it

Eeeuuuw! Tenderness during sex is stomach turning! Tickly, gentleness and creepy, needy, emotions!

NO, 'making love' should never be the aspiration. Euw, feathery, stroky, revoltingness!

I am still on a weight loss journey.

Feathery strokeryness. Ummmmmmm.

I wish my skin would shrink two sizes! I'm like a burst balloon here!

Not my favourite phrase by any means, but some of the alternatives offered up in this thread are far far worse.
