1. Eye Contactš
It may seem weird to think about eye contact during sex, but this is actually a great sign of trust between two people. Getting distracted by each other in the heat of the moment happens. But if you gaze at each other a lot, youāre creating an emotional connection.
2. The Setting
Letās say things get heated in the backseat of a carš - thereās no real time for romance and slowing it down, because you might get caught. This would fall into the sex category. If thereās a room full of lit candles and rose petals, thereās more time and thought involved.
Frequently asked questions
3. Types of Kissesš
Not all kisses always mean the same thing. But if two people are really taking their time when it comes to kissing, it can be a sign of lovemaking. Delicate and purposefully placed kisses are indicators of this as well.
***
Kisses can range from the passionate and intense to the soft and romantic. While a heated, frenzied exchange might imply lust and physical desire, the slow exploration of one anotherās lips speaks to a deeper connection. Itās the difference between a quick flame and a slowly building fire that warms from within. When someone peppers gentle pecks on the forehead, eyelids, or the tip of the nose, those tiny acts hold volumes of affection, elevating the act to a form of loving communication. A kiss on the hand, for instance, oozes respect and adoration, revealing much more intimacy than just carnal attraction.
4. The Touchš¤
This point is one that kind of goes along with kissing. Itās not so much as where as how. Taking the time to gentle run fingertips across skin and admire one another can be a sign of making love.
5. Conversationš¬
If during sex one or both parties are dishing out dirty words, it leans away from being in the lovemaking category. If words are soft and about how much you love each other, then it might be one of those moments.
6. Speedā°
A quickie is just that: a fast and rushed experience to give you pleasure quickly. If two people are unconcerned with how long it takes and stop to savor the moments, then itās making love.
7. The Relationshipš«
Most of the time (but not ALL), the status of your relationship with the person can help determine if its sex or making love. A casual relationship involves more sex than a long term romantic relationship might. But it can go either way.
Regardless of the intercourse you have, both sex and making love are great. You donāt have to be in love to āmake love.ā And, you can definitely have sex with someone that you deeply love. It all depends on how youāre feeling and what youāre in the mood for! If you have any other thoughts, leave a comment!
