There is intimacy, making love, and sex.
I'm not a religious nut, but I do agree with the notion that sex with someone you truly love is better. Not because of the act, but because of the intimacy that goes with it. (And no, intimacy is not exposing your genitals for the purpose of having sex).
A loving relationship is one where both people are concerned about the feelings of the other person. If sex for either person is something they want just for the orgasm, then they have no idea what true intimacy is.
True intimacy is the nurturing cuddling, kissing, hugging, holding...etc., which are expressions of love. Making love can mean sexual contact, but does not have to end in orgasm to be intimate or even fulfillment of sexual expression. Sex is also an expression of intimacy, but is only a small part of it.
Sex does not equal love.
Love does not equal sex.
If someone says, "If you love me, you will have sex with me.", then not only do they NOT understand love and intimacy, but they are simply self serving and obviously in the infantile stage of learning human intimacy.
Hey, this comes from a biker.
I'm no shrink, but I know a thing or two about life.

I am giving u a testament. Say a young boy with female look wants to observe his friend if love can be without sex. What he did, he wore salwar suit, used false long hair and put a breast looking bra and became perfectly girl. No one knows his reality now. Now he comes across his boyfriend and expressed his love. Soon they became lovers and married. During their first night the husband told his wife( the cheater boy) that he loved her(him) very much and sex is secondary. Even if there is no sex he will continue love her (him). But when he discovered that it was a boy would he continue the similar passionate love. Where would his love for his wife go without sex!!!
What I have felt about love and sex, it like the difference between 'heat' and 'temperature'. AS heat is cause and temperature is the effect of this cause, love is the cause and sex is the effect of love.

Wow, am I glad to see all these 'no' answers. I'm a woman who was involved with a man for 1 1/2 yrs. I was so much in love with him...I still think about him every day even though I haven't seen him in almost 2 yrs now. Never loved so strongly as with this man. Anyway, the reason we broke up is that he said I wasn't having enough sex with him. If we didn't make love for 3 days, he sulked and threatened to leave. He left me 3 times in the time we were together. He wanted sex every day...and this was a 60 yr old man with Parkinsons. I always told him that sex wasn't a measure of our love...that his understanding of me was more important. I worked every day, was going thru menopause, and had several other things on my plate..including worrying about his health. I was very hurt every time he left me because of sex, and then he'd return a week or two later. In retrospect now, I see he was a very selfish man. I loved him so much, but he didn't believe me I guess...

No, that only shows the person's current libido level.
The amount of love is shown by the consideration and respect that two people give other. Being good friends, being able to hang out without feeling stress, allowing both persons to just be who they are without 'trying to impress' - all these things show true love.

No absolutely not.... Men and women can have sex without being in love... Being in love has a soulful and mental connection.. you want to be with that person through anything and everything.. not just sex... But remember sex is much better with the one you love!!!

no it shows lust. you can have sex with one you love and feel the passion and sensation that's the difference. you can have sex with anyone but you when you're with the one you care about then that's making love.

NO sex is a biological need where as love is from the heart and more to do with your head....not that head !

No. That's just something guys tell their girl friends to get them to have sex with them.

nope, sex is the physical part of life..
it is carnal. just because you have sex with someone does not mean that you love them.
the result could be love.... for some. not for everyone...
from experience, sex could be just that.... sex.. nothing more, nothing less..
