Absolutely. Sometimes I want to make love, sometimes I'm looking for a wet spot ;-P

I agree there are times when i wanted to know she loved me. And i wanted her to know it also. Then there are times when i was just glad she had a pulse. ;)

I LOVE making love. I probably prefer it too much for some women who want to be manhandled.

women don't understand men because love for them is something that has taken a long time to build up. This is because she has to be sure of her committment to a male who will need to help her bring up her children. This was especially true in the stone age etc. Therefore, woman will be more cautious in falling in love. They will consider other things before allowing themselves to fall in love. Men are quite different. They are less cautious in "being in love", and love and lust are intertwined. So, when a man is lustful, he is also wanting to give love. He is wanting to give his everything to the woman. This is even true for casual sex. Most men "love" the woman they are making love to, even if it is a one night stand. You can identify such men by how gentle and considerate they are in making sure that they give pleasure as well as receive it. If a man is wanting to manhandle his lover, his priority isn't love but control. I understand that some women also love to control. They do this by exposing, teasing, and other means. In summary, all men are different, but generally speaking, most feel love toward the woman they are lovemaking to, even if it is a one night stand. Our love and our lust make us promise anything, just so that we can get what we want (which is to GIVE love as well as receive it). Most of us want to GIVE. guydebyl@yahoo.com.au

You never make love TO that person. You make love WITH that person. For the sake of the younger folks who read these answers, I won't get very graphic. I'm sure you can use your imagination. I AM A VERY fortunate man. I had the wonderful experience of seeing my parents, both sets of grandparents and all my aunts and uncles behave as though they were constantly on their honeymoons with their spouses. They would hold hands, cuddle, hug, kiss, whisper things to each other, say, "I love you, _____!" and carry-on like many young people, who are in love, do in public. They would smile at each other and tell each other how beautiful, wonderful and thoughtful she was and how thoughtful, wonderful and handsome he was! WOW! What a great set of romance role models! No, I never watched as they were making love in the most intimate way, but I DID see and learn from their examples and inter-actions with their spouses! As far as I know, no one ever cheated on the other. That being said, one day my mother's father got in the car with me. I was driving him to the track. He "LOVED those ponies"! He was well-aware of the relationship I had with the lady I was dating and who would one day be my bride. He said words similar to these: I know your father told you what to do, but did he ever tell you how to do it? I answered, "No". He went on to say, "I'm going to tell you some things I don't think you'll learn from any one else. When you have sex, make love or whatever you want to call it, you don't behave like most other men. Most men are just interested in one thing and one thing only - satisfying their own selfish selves. That's NOT the way to do it. You have to make absolutely certain she is satisfied. No matter how long it takes or what you have to do, you have to do whatever it takes to make sure she does what she likes to do best. You HAVE TO satisfy her first. Your brain is the most important sex organ. Your brain controls what happens downstairs. When you aren't sure about what to do or how to do it, ask her what she wants you to do. She'll tell you or she'll show you. When you're making love, you think of other things - not what's going on at that particular moment with that particular lady. When you think about what you're actually doing, I guarantee you'll never satisfy the lady in your life. He went on to explain about holding hands, hugging, kissing, caressing and taking things one step at a time. He described a lot of things I heard of but wasn't sure about. During that ride, one of the last things he said was: When you are absolutely sure she is satisfied, then you can do what you know is best for you - but not one minute before. That's what I was told. Thank you, Gran'pop. I love you. I miss you! Some afterthoughts: You could also buy a book, on-line, called "Kama Sutra." You could also go on-line and make the investment in some "adult sex toys" to stimulate and arouse. There are LOTS of sites. Thanks for asking your Q! I enjoyed answering it!

I believe that would depend on the RECIPIENT of the man's "act." If it's a prostitute, one-night-stand, or someone he may or may NOT "see" again--then the act of "making love" would be wasted. (Probably because of the slim possibility of the "act" NOT getting to be completed!!!) If it's someone close, like a finance or spouse--then there's a better chance of love-making taking place. Then--there's always the man himself. If he's a wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am kind of a guy, then forget it!!!

I don't think 'making love' has to be a sexual act. There are lots of time when my wife and I make love during sex, and there are lots of times we make love without having sex. We also have some sex that isn't really very loving at all. But, yes: there are some times I'm more in the mood for loving reasurance and bonding than getting off with my wife. Most of our sex tends to be both - moments of loving and moments of cock and pussy play, if you know what I mean. I think the more in-love a man is and the more confident a man is, the more often he tends to 'make love' during sex. Just my opinions.
