love makes sex better

Neither equals the other... sex does not equal love, nor does love equal sex, nor does either come first (chicken and egg syndrome).
However, both can contribute to the other. As one person mentioned, when two are engaged in sex, the act does release "emotions, feelings, sensations" that we may attribute to love, however, these are more likely associated with an endorphine release we equate to pleasure... therefore, in having sex with another person we tend to find pleasure in that... and the more pleasure we find in someone, the more likely we are to meld that sensation into the umbrella grouping of "love".
As for love equaling sex... yes, it can be said that when we are in love with another we tend to engage in more sex with that person... however, this depends on the type of love, which should be specified in thinking about this topic. Just as an example... I love my parents, my sisters, my pets... however, sex is not even close to being in this equation.
You can also look at couples who love each other, however, due to personal beliefs, personal situations, they opt to postpone sex until they are married, in a more committed spot, more comfortable, etc.,... thus, even while love exists... the sexual side of the equation is missing. Does this mean the two are not in love with each other? I would venture to guess not.
Finally... you should look at the individual person and his/her concept of both of these topics. There are many people out there who merely enjoy sex for the raw, basic, simplistic attributes of what it can be seen as.. they like sex for sex and nothing more. Others, can be viewed as striving for emotional love, rather than physical, and thus only focusing their attention on that aspect.
Love=Love and sex=sex....plain and simple. However, love can be an aspect of sex just as sex can be an aspect of love. Neither should be dependent upon the other... but can be illustrative of the other.

more often sex = love...because when two people have sex, certain chemicals are released which give both parties mental feelings of "love" which keeps them together. BUT...when two people love each other, normally that leads to sex. So both are true, but the first one happens more often i would say

Nope. Sex = sex and love = love. Sex is not love and love is not sex

Sex is a touchy subject,
Its something to be taken seriously
When you have sex, its to pledge your love to them, and show how much you mean to them
Love comes first.
