Do you "make love" to your partner or "have sex"?

[deepest]

For me its just sex - although the sex is good - it could be anyone - are we just FBs?

Dirtybadger does your dog get all prim and look on disapprovingly as you shag too? Took me a while to get used to it actually, 'twas like having my Mother in law in the corner of the room watching. And criticising. shudder

Actually that would be better, at least my MiL is unlikely to jump on the bed and start licking my feet when I'm about to have an orgasm

Both, I guess. I agree with the poster who says you have to be pretty loving to be really filthy . I don't tend to use the phrase "making love" though, but I can appreciate the sentiment. People are so coy about referring to it...DTD on here, for example, or sometimes TTC. I cringe if people in real life talk about trying to conceive, actually- it usually gives you mental images you didn't really ask for!

Hahahaaaaa @ "annoy the dog". I know exactly what you mean. Ours stays downstairs if she notices a bit of a glad-eyed vibe .

You all are funny. I wish I had both a partner and a dog to annoy.

Otis not sure. Exdp wouldn't with her in the room. And she slept in the room. That went well! To be fair to him he probably had a point. She's a young dog and a bit mad sometimes so she'd probably not have stood for any naughty business! I locked her out but he wouldn't then either because she could hear crap excuse to wank instead of have sex

I'm totally using "annoy the dog" from now on! :o

We do both but I would never use the "making love" term. Bleeeeeeeee

I told DH about 'annoy the dog' yesterday (had to as was laughing so much) and last night he did ask if I wanted to 'annoy the cats' so 'tis now official. (We don't have a dog).

I HATE the phrase "make love". Don't know why but it just sounds naff to me

This thread has reminded me of a brilliant bit of dialogue in one of Roddy Doyle's novels (you have to imagine it all in a Dublin accent).

Married couple, her knitting
him: I suppose a ride's out of the question?
her: Just let me finish this row...
him: I'll clean me teeth, shall I?
her: Tha'd be nice.

Lurcio, I loved that series. Best books he ever wrote

Oooh I love 'annoy the dog'
Yessss a new metaphor is born!

Bleeeeeuuurrggghghhhh!

'Making love' makes me want to vomit. I can't stand it when people want to look in your eyes and get all emotional during sex. It's unbearable!

As for gentle, soft, slow romantic bollox, eeeeeeruuuuwww! I'm gonna puke!

Yay, Katie, another Barrytown fan... Funny, I was just saying to a mate that I thought the book he actually won the Booker for (Paddy Clark) was his weakest. The Snapper is my favourite!

"Annoy the dog" is funnier if you don't have a dog.

I couldn't get into Paddy C at all and I so wanted to love it

It is a tragic testament to my complete lack of a sex life that the only contribution I can make to this thread is to discuss Roddy Doyle (sobs quietly and fantasises about wild fucks of the past...)

I'd rather discuss RD and I'd rather not think about how tragic I am

We only get to annoy the dog when we want to do it downstairs in front of the wood burner. When it's lit, obviously. The dog lies in his bed and sighs theatrically. Because we've taken his spot by the fire... :)

Have we killed the thread? Oh no! I do think "ride" is a good word (though willing to concede "annoy the dog" may be better).

A friend i know calls it "doing the monkey dance"

What about bumping uglies ?????? Lol

In a pub years ago and a hot guy walks up to a girl in our group, ''hi there, would you like to come back to my place and fuck?''

She look a bit startled and said, ''thats not very nice is it?'' and before he could apologise, she said, ''now if you asked me, 'would I like to come back to yours and make love' I'd say yes....' and off they trotted.

So the phrase 'make love' seemed to work for them, they were together for a couple of years after that.

If someone asked me if I would like to make love I think I would laugh:)

However someone I once adored asked me this out of the blue after a good year into the relationship. I don't know who looked more horrified, him or me:)

He was very sheepish and said he felt such a rush of love he didn't feel able to say his usual thing. It was very nice, the making love experience:)

we fcuk

We dont kiss or look into eah others eyes during it -- is that dysfunctional?
