Making love is a creepy term
Jan. 19th, 2002 10:28 amI really hate the term "making love". It always reminded me of pedophiles and molesters. "Oh, it's ok to do this; we're making love."
Seriously. I like sex as much as the next guy (probably a little bit more because I'm dirty.), but there's something just really creepy about that term. Calling it sex doesn't bother me, calling it fucking doesn't bother me, calling it getting laid doesn't bother me, but making love turns me off. Completely.
It just seems like some kinf of wierd, human glitch that we don't want to associate ourselves with such a base act. We're above animals, remember? We make love instead of have sex. We have to sanitize it and homogenize it before it's acceptable.
Making love is something that 14 year old virgins do. It's something that bored housewives do while reading romance novels that are full of heaving bosoms and Fabio.
I'm not sure why it bothers me so much; maybe all those stupid R&B songs or the connotations that you're doing something wonderful and pure (when it's really still just sex), or maybe it was my creepy Mormon ex's overuse of the term (and his wierd insistance on missionary being the only moral position), but it freaks me out.
