what can I say about sex and love .. two different activities ... although they look very much alike to the casual observer. Animals (and I include our species here) have sex. Sex is for the purpose of creating the next generation. somewhere deep in our brains is the drive to create life and perpetuate the species. and that drive will not be denied. well it wont , until the brain decides to turn off "the need to breed" signal. But as long as that signal is active ... well.. sex will need to happen.
but making love .. ah that's all about the self and a higher level of brain activity .. its all about the need for closeness and feeling protected. Its a way to relax the vigilance that is required to stay alive in a hostile environment ,,, is a break from always having to be aware of your surroundings .. it allows us to re-create that feeling we had when we snuggled into our mothers and knew that she would protect us from the world ... its about sharing and trusting and relaxing and just going to a happier place than the world normally allows ... and we humans emerge on the other side of love making feeling refreshed and energised and ready to take on the world. Very few partners in our lives that we ever reach that level of intimacy with.
