Love is a deep and intense emotion that encompasses every facet of your life. Sex without love is just a physical act; you can like it, you can enjoy it, but there is nothing really spiritual or lasting about it. Not by itself.
Sex between two people in love becomes an emotional thing, and can take you to heights you never imagined existed. You'll wonder why you ever bothered with sex as just a physical act, after you've shared something incredible with someone you love.
There is a HUGE difference between the two, and that's why those who understand are most often counseling young people to wait for that special someone.

In my experience, love is much more of a feeling that you have to experience than I could explain. It's all about finding balance. Sex serves as a sort of catalyst into the relationship. If the relationship is based on physical lust, sex just creates a vicious cycle based on drive and people won't find true satisfaction. If you are both truly in love, sex amplifies and creates a bond. Sex is not love, but it can be used (and should be) to increase the bond. Sex cannot be forced, it must be mutually accepted. In true love it will be emotionally, spiritually and physically. When all is said and done though, it really comes to balancing physical, spiritual and emotional intimacy. A three legged stool will tip over if one leg is too long, and so it is with relationships.

Love is a feeling and sex is an act. You do not need to be in love to have sex. All though you can be in love with sex so you confuse the feeling for the person you are with. If you are in love with someone sex is what you do before you fall asleep, LOL...

Love is the emotion and through sex the emotion can be expressed. Sex is the physical expression of love. Love is the true weightless, flying, boundary-less feeling.
Sex in mearly an act, but it can give pleasure.

Love is the awesome emotional tie that a couple has between each other and when that love is felt then sex turns into making love....That's how it should be. Sex can be done by anyone but Love making is done by people who are in love and love each other, truly.

According to Robert Sternberg's research, "Love" is an emotion consisting of three components: intimacy, passion & committment.
Intimacy, the feeling close and connected to someone (developed through sharing and very good communications over time). Intimacy is what makes you want to share and offer emotional and material support to each other.
-Intimacy alone is Liking (true friendship without passion or long-term commitment)
Passion, the feeling physically aroused and attracted to someone. Passion is what makes you feel "in love" and is the feeling most associated with love. It also rises quickly and strongly influences and biases your judgment.
-Passion alone is Infatuation (passionate, obsessive love at first sight without intimacy or commitment)
Commitment, pledging to your self and each other to strengthen the feelings of love and to actively maintain the relationship. Commitment is what makes you want to be serious, have a serious relationship and promise to be there for the other person if things get tough.
-Commitment alone is Empty Love (decision to love another without intimacy or passion)
Romantic Love: Intimacy & Passion, no Commitment
-Lovers physically and emotionally attracted to each other but without commitment
-“As in a summer romance”
Companionate Love: Intimacy & Commitment, but no Passion
-Long-term committed friendships or a marriage in which the passion has faded
-I love you but I’m not IN love with you
Fatuous Love: Passion & Commitment, but no Intimacy
-Commitment based on passion with without time for intimacy to develop
-Shallow relationship such as a whirlwind courtship
Consummate Love: A complete love consisting of all three components
