Making love. To want to throw up.....

[TheNaze73]

When people use the expression "making love"

Makes me want to vomit on the spot, puts my teeth on edge & it just sounds, so Mills and Boon

AIBU?

[TooMuchMNTime]

I don't like the expression
but I think Marilyn Monroe says it quite well

[inaclearingstandsaboxer]

DH and call it 'sexy time' in Borat's voice...

We are the last of the romantics...

[ILostItInTheEarlyNineties]

I always think of a greasy Italian, making lurrve to a be-youtifool lady, but I'm quite emotionally immature I think

[ClashCityRocker]

Our PSHE teacher did that - he was in charge of sex ed and referred to it as making love throughout.

Suppose he couldn't refer to it as fucking.

[MyBreadIsEggy]

YANBU....I hate that expression too. It's so cringey and one of those sickeningly romantic things people think they "should" say because it's more polite than saying shagging/banging/bumping uglies which I guess it kinda is
DH and I tend to use the phrase "happy fun time"

[NewLife4Me]

Me and my dh make love, have sex, shag, fuck, get it on and any manner of terms that are appropriate at the time.
YABU

[Janey50]

My DP says he 'wants to play'. I had never heard that one before I met him.

[dowhatnow]

doing the deed in our house.

[gingerboy1912]

DH prefers to announce 'Right, brace yourself...' whilst briskly rubbing his hands together as he approaches the bed.

If he's lucky, I might deign to put my book down during proceedings...

[BoatyMcBoat]

It is cringey. I much prefer shag.

[MaQueen]

Why, thank you gingerboy I aim to please...

[KissMyArse]

I always think of a greasy Italian, making lurrve to a be-youtifool lady

That's Swiss Tony.

[amigoingabitcrazy]

YANBU this post made me grin.

I often get "I really wanna put one through ya!" My dp just oozes romance!

[BitOutOfPractice]

BF says it sometimes, in a faux french accent, to make me laugh "I am going to make ze sweet sweet lurve to you."

But other than that it's vile

It's a fuck in this house

[whensitmyturn]

Nope it's a cringey phrase. We refer to it as 'Relations' ( after sexual relations)

fancy some relations later? Dh will say with an eyebrow wiggle!
Don't know how that came about its just stuck.

[KateLivesInEngland]

It's having a bash in our house.
Fancy a Bash ?
DH picked it up from a friend in his yoof ie, they were at the pub and saw an eligible lady and his friend said Yeah, I'll have a bash at that.
And it stuck unfortunately.

[ILostItInTheEarlyNineties]

Thanks, Kissmyarse Swiss Tony was probably who I was trying to picture, what a smooth guy..

[thenightsky]

Its 'A Bit Of A Seeing-To' in this house.

(married 35 years)

[EllenJanethickerknickers]

It was always bonking here, or rumpy pumpy.

I now have Celia by Simon and Garfunkel going through my mind.

'Making love in the afternoon,
With Cecelia, up in my bedroom...'

[ShelaghTurner]

Much prefer it to fuck. I'm not adverse to a fuck but I'd far rather make love than 95% of the words on this thread. And I'm no prude, it's just too crude for me. Each to their own.

[Citizensmith1]

I rather like 'having it off'

:-)

[VeryBitchyRestingFace]

It pure gees me the dry boak.

However, the phrase "making love" does seem to be the staple go to of any American soap opera I've ever watched and I've watched plenty.

Any other term - fuck, have sex, fornicate, horizontal foxtrot - is off limits to American soap audiences, apparently.

[AllegraWho]

Too right. It's called coitus. Just ask Dr Cooper.
