Hello people, welcome to another edition of Elcrema Sunday Love Special, a segment dedicated strictly to discussions and debates on various relationship issues. Today’s topic centres on an age long debate—sex and lovemaking; are they the same thing or is there really a difference between both.
Many would claim they are one and the same while many would refute that as they seem to two different things.
Drama and I (Shawn) would share our thoughts on this one.

Lol. Now, this is one tricky question, but honestly, I think it would depend on who’s judging. There are people who would tell you that there’s no difference between the two, and it’s all a question of semantics; their argument being that there’s usually some form of penetration involved in both scenarios while there are others who think there’s a little difference between them.
For me though, I like to think that there’s a difference between the two. Sex is the general name used to describe the act of copulation, but when two people are in love, they just don’t have sex; they put their heart and soul into it, so they make love. Anybody can have sex, but it takes love to make love. Lovemaking is deeper and more appreciated than sex for those who do it. Sex is more of a physical/mechanical act while love-making is more of a soulful act. When you make love, there’s usually a form of connection you feel to your partner. You’re totally lost in the moment. That is the difference between the two.

Sex is like the general term that describes all forms of intercourse so in that generic language one could deem sex to be lovemaking and lovemaking to be sex.
However, when it comes to relationship, sex and lovemaking are thought by many to be two different things and I quite agree. Lovemaking is passionate, it entails love, it has a lot to do with feelings and the emotions of love—it is no ordinary sex but the sex that’s done when two people are in love, while mere sex couldn’t be said to have this same emotions.
Sex with a prostitute isn’t and would never feel the same when you have sex with someone you are in love with; that difference is what makes both of them different. With a prostitute, the motive and objective is different; the prostitute is only after her money while the man is merely interested in sexual satisfaction; their action has little or nothing to do with emotions, love and feelings. This can’t be said with two people who are passionate with each other because to them it’s more about passion and emotions.
I would say that the basic difference between both acts is just the different emotions that come with both actions.
Do you think they are same or are there differences between sex and lovemaking
