The reality about love making is that it's not always an intense experience. In fact, the only element that distinguishes making love from sex, is a mutual awareness of romantic sincerity. This may be disappointing, even unbelievable, for those harboring magical expectations. However, truly making love can offer more than any romance novel could ever promise.
Sex is physical activity we practice for the sake of reproduction and physical gratification. Not very romantic, huh? You don't need to be in love, or even know your partner to have a physically gratifying sexual experience. However, most people would say they have difficulty enjoying sex without love.
