I often thought about the basis for the expression "making love". Is there an actual manufacture of the neuro-chemical associated with love due to the piston pump of the machine. Or is it just an expression to make females more receptive to the dirty deed. 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?

It should be
MANIFTEST LOVE FROM WITHIN
or
observe love occur between us

Your definition cuts to the heart of an emotional and spiritual commitment between two people. But the terms "making love" is more ambiguous. It sort of sounds like a manufacturing process of sorts.

Making Love is a nice PC term for women.(ie- making babies)

Love isn't "made" is it??
I thought love "grows", like a tree from a seed...

"Manifest Love" sounds more accurate to me...

It is no more correct than the modern p-whipped male expression "WE are pregnant". What kind of horse pucky is that?

Yes to both. There is seratonin, dopamine, and oxytocin release during coitus, and the amounts and intensity of their release is contingent on a number of factors, including emotional and spiritual connection. Adrenaline plays a role too.

Also, making females more receptive plays a role too, but it really depends on the female, and also the relationship one has with her. Some girls are cool with "Let's get it on," or "let's go f*$k our brains out right now," whereas others are mortified by anything so intense and prefer the more puritanical terms for copulation.

Love only becomes a part of it all if you're lucky.

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.

Yes, So choose your words carefully!

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.

Hmmmm... I've used honey before, but how would vinegar be erotic? I would think the smell alone would kill the mood.

Sexuality even between two stangers, can create a case of infatuation. It could be neuro-chemicals and the pleasure association combining to create memories that will perpetuate the attraction. This is not love, but as guys call it, insnatchuation. Maybe the purpose is to bring two people together long enough where real love can form. Maybe making love is real when there is already love and sex is used to extend the intimacy. Before there is love, it is just any of the terms guys like to use. But, as was pointed out females feel better if lust is wrapped in shiny love paper. But then again, women may use the term because they know guys lust ho's but fall in love with an more honorable girl.
