Do you call it sex or "making love"?

[first1]

My new boyfriend (3months) asks to make love to me rather than just saying sex. I think it's incredibly cute but neither of us have said the L word or anything yet. Do many guys say this?!

I only say making love as a joke to freak dh out, like "are you going to make sweet love to me?" or referring to it as making love. Then we both fall about laughing.

Lol we don't actually call it anything - on the rare (very rare these days!) occasion we do 'do it' it pretty much always starts with me or him doing the Chuck Mangione tune 'Feel So Good' like in the Friends episode with Ross & Monica's sexy cousin

Poom tang and if one of us has had a drink it's normally accompanied by a little grinding dance. We will seriously embarrass our kids when their old enough to realise things

sorry, but at Prinky Pronk - I might have to steal that one!

Difficult one, though, sometimes, isn't it? Fuck/shag too nonchalent/casual, making lurve too weird, and a little bit creepy? We do usually just end up saying 'fancy a shag?" or "fancy a quickie?" if it's during the day, but with 4 dc's that's nonexistent pretty rare these days. I think we need new words.

Loving these phrases, though!

We don't really call it anything, but I do feel that however we are doing it...even though it might be a quick fuck or a slow romantic evening, it's still making love. Coz we love each other!!

Ok...NOW who wants to vom??!!

Makes me cringe, but my OH rather publicly asks if he can 'twangle my fufu' as he knows just how embarrased it makes me....

As a bloke, I can honestly say I have never asked a woman if we should have sex, make love etc. Actually, I have never asked to kiss anyone either..

Course when err...on the job, all sorts of filth can come out of my mouth which usually has a positive effect!

The guy just seems a little nervous and lacking in confidence to be honest. I am sure he will snap out of it in time...

But as some of the others have said, take the lead and just demand a good fucking!

Bedroom gymnastics !!!

Wearing something uncomfortable, works instantly, no words needed ;)

No one really says 'making love' do they? Eew

Although my DH has a mental age of 16 in bed, usually 'can I have a handjob' or 'are you up for a bone' yuk

Dh and I call it "boolooloop" - it comes from the song 'underneath the mango tree' which was sung in the James Bond movie Dr No, the first movie we saw together

We also "have husband and wife time" too depending on the mood.

I just tell him that he's 'on a promise'. Seems to convey the message adequately!

Go exploring in the salmin canyon.dies it for me every time

dh tends to ask if I'd like an early night (for sex later in the evening) or say 'shall we go to bed'. I like all sorts of euphemisms depending on mood - eg 'fancy a bit of rumpypumpy?' might work.

I don't think it really matters so long as you both like it, and I think the longer you know each other the more silly terms develop.

Our general term of endearment is 'my love' I wouldn't be keen on anything too twee/diminutive personally, but again so long as you like it it really doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

DP can be a bit 'feathery strokery' sometimes, I shout at him to get on with it, monty python style.

He usually asks if i 'fancy an early night'

at 'make love'

Ah the poor bloke - I think he's just a bit shy. My DH used to say make love at first but now says "quality time" or "have an early night" & although he does say "have sex" sometimes too. He's quite sexually repressed & always has been so it's impossible for him to be "rude" unless he's drunk. Damn that strict religious upbringing!!!

He was being smooth and wanted you to say YES..........just put him straight .

'can I do you' is the usual question in our house!

Ooh no making love sounds horribly grown up and middle aged!!
We just call it shagging!
We do call each other babe all the time and he always texts hello gorgeous or hello sexy ...
He did call me baby when we first met but that made me a bit - too Barry White for me

Midwife and crge- no he's not shy he's respectful. He doesn't want to shag or fuck me. I'm his girlfriend not a random meaningless one night stand.

Yes I can see that - my DH is very respectful to women in general & is anti porn for that reason. I do miss a bit of naughtiness occasionally but I prefer that to being with a womanising porn addicted misogynist. If you're happy what's the problem?

First1 - some of us have been married for over twenty years and still like a good shag or fuck

@ making luuuuuurrrrvve, sweet lurve

I have been with my wonderful, respectful, anti-porn DH for 11 yrs.

We still dont call it 'making love'. I dont call my fanjo 'my special flower', either...

Lol at Magsaloof!!

Do Boombaloom (after the bonobo monkeys but we coudlnt remember what they were called)

and with the risk of outing myself - Going to Margate!
