Making Love

[ProcrastinationIsMySuperPower]

My DH insists that the term "making love" is romantic.

I think it's cringe-y and old-fashioned. I think having sex is just that, why call it something else?

Really interested to get some other opinions... Also hoping to prove DH wrong (in a totally light hearted way).

So - YABU - Making love is oh so romantic
YANBU - call it what it is!!

Recent thread heard a ndn call it having his pipes cleared....

Well that's a new one on me 😂

It makes me heave. It belongs in Mills and Boon and has no place in the 21st century.

Sex is sex. Sex with someone you love is or should be better than a random shag. But its still sex.

Ye Gads my mother has always called it making love .

(Better than my grandmother who only says ‘committing the act of fornication’ for unmarried and ‘copulating’ for married).

My family have weird hang ups ... I’ve always just called it sex!

Yeah, it's a bit coy and awkward.

I'd say it is a dated term.

Shudder. "Making love" makes my skin crawl.

It’s sex.

Make love, shag, Doing the deed and grinding are all vomit inducing to me.

I’m with you. DH sometimes says it to wind me up!

Always makes me cringe !!

It makes me shudder and not in a good way, excuse me whilst I go and vomit

I like a shag or a fuck, love making makes me feel a bit sick. It reminds me of a boyfriend I had in my early twenties, he introduced me at a party once as “this is my lover, TheLost”. He was Norwegian and it made him sound like a serial killer.

Makes me cringe!

Sorry, makes me cringe!

We fuck or have sex 🤷‍♀️

I think this might be a marmite thread.

I love the term “making love” or “love making”.

The terms “shag” and “f*” are the ones that make me cringe.

Each to their own I suppose...

I don't mind shag, we joke about and say bone usually. Or, do you want to have sex?

There’s always “coitus”, of course!

🤮🤮🤮

Cringe.

I used to have an ex who called it 'rumpy.'

You can see why he's an ex.

As for OP's husband, tell him he gets none while he refers to it as 'making luurve'

I don’t get making love. I think the phrase was coined by someone cheesy who thought that they could make someone love them by having sex with them.
ER I don’t think so.

My partner and I just call it 'Bumping Uglies'

Its nippy nippy surely

He was Norwegian and it made him sound like a serial killer

Aw everyone is being so unromantic!
