Re: Making Love

Hold on there Orby! your too eager to jump in the sack.

To answer HD's question; 'Making Love' is both rhetoric (speaking with artificial eloquence), and a rhetorical question (asking a question for effect and not requiring an answer, usually......NO! ).
The term should be 'Lovemaking', which signifies the actual act.

Which appeals to the senses better?

'How about making love tonight, sweetheart?' or

'Would you like to engage in a night of lovemaking, sweetheart?'.


I don't know how the term flip/flopped, over the years, but it did, but it's not the point.
[quote=HydrogenBond].....Or is it just an expression to make females more receptive to the dirty deed.[/quote]

Yes, So choose your words carefully!

This===> , NOT this===>

[quote=HydrogenBond].....Males have dozens of names for the same thing, any of which is fine by them. Is it manufacture of love neurochems, rhetoric, or something else?[/quote]
Rhetoric

IMHO....After just celebrating our 27th, I can tell you both terms will work, but remember honey works better than vinagar.

What about a women's POV, unless there's been one while I'm 'making' this post, it's just the guys so far.
