Where did the expression "make love" originate, and why do we use it? (Shouldn't the love already be there?)

During the 1960's, the hippies and others said, "Make love, not war" to protest the Vietnam War and promote "free love." This was part of their basic philosophy; they were also against "The Establishment." It was a very amazing time.

The phrases took hold, and are still with us today.

Yes, I agree with you...the love should be there if you are intimate with a person.

Maybe having children was an expressoin of love, and in the older days sex wasn't for pleasure it was for making babies...so....Make Love = make kids?

I tried to help...
