Some seem to refer to recreational sex as "Lust" and procreational sex as "Love".
Yet for some, a married couple engaging in recreational sex (ie intentionally not procreational) that is "Love" too.
Are we showing Love when we try only to make a baby, or are we also showing Love whenever we wish to give and receive pleasure?

If you love someone, you want to make them happy. Sex is one way to do that. So sex with the intention of giving the other person an orgasm is a loving act, whether a baby is in the works or not.

Not exactly.
Recreational sex is gratification.
Procreational sex is reproduction.
Animals don't do recreational sex. When they screw it's for the real deal. Impregnation is usually instantanious and the female animal is out of heat and no longer attracts the interest of males 1 minute after the act.
And it's not just morality. Better than 50% of all women are opposed to SEX as a bedroom sport. It's dehumanising to women. It makes them objects not people. And THAT has nothing to do with God or Religion. A lot of Atheist women are opposed to being sex objects.
Fact, 55% of the US is female.
So why do they call getting laid "Getting lucky!"
There is 1.05 females for every man. Luck should not even be an issue of Sex is a good thing a normal thing a free thing. EVERY man should get laid on a daily basis if that were the case.
Why is it we call them Lucky, because only a small percentage of women are loose!
The rest know better!

Good question. There are different types of love, as you point out. Parental love for children, charitable love of neighbor, kindred love of family, spousal love of wife or husband, etc. Having said that, it needs to be noted that spouses can become unloving in sex. Sometimes when sex is used to manipulate to get their way or being inconsiderate when the spouse is not feeling "in the mood".
Now, I need to bring up another aspect to love and sex. As a Catholic I have studied why the Church is against "contraceptive" use and I have to agree with thier teachings. Some Protestants along with the Eastern, Greek, & Russian Orthodox Churches concur. Why? Many "contraceptives" are not actually that but an abortifacient (expells a fertilized egg).
In the Old Testament a man named Onan was struck dead by God when he refused to impregnate his wife and spilt his seed on the ground. Why did God do this. Onan was disrespecting God's creative process. The bonding between a man and woman is a creative process to make a new person. To interfere with God's creative process is unholy.
Good question. I hope this helps.

Why seperate the two?
Yes there is a difference between love and lust, but if you're married and talking about recreational vs procreational, why not enjoy both?

extremely some the precedence you reside with is the after outcomes of porn dependancy. he's change into desensitized to genuine sex and intimacy. it is a topic that calls for marriage counselling. commonly at the same time with his heritage there are also different 'dependancy' appropriate behaviours which may have protected intense alcohol or drug use. you could not restore this through your self, and he has to favor to. locate a sturdy counsellor and be immediately with that man or woman about each and each of the records. What you want is awesome. What does he favor?

Sexual morality is based on the fact that sexually transmitted diseases have always existed, that unwanted children is a shame, and that "lust" outside of marriage isn't always mutual and is rarely beneficial in the long run. Lust is not "lust" if you love the guy enough to spend the rest of your life with him.

Sex between a married couple whether for procreation or just for fun isn't frowned on by God.
It's sex of ANY kind with someone that you aren't married to.
God wants married couples to please each other whether it be sex or just fixing a leaky faucet!

You are showing love when you have sex with your wife/husband and you are only thinking of them at the time.

Your question is making my head hurts. All I know is that I burned a ton of calories while I was having sex. Here are some titbits http://calorielab.com/burned/sex-calories-burned.html

I prefer either or...
and sexual morality is something that only applies to episodes
where involuntary sexual acts occur.
