What is the difference and similarity between love and sex?
In my opinion, the two can be used as separate and as one. Separate in the sense that people can choose to engage in the act of sex, without loving each other. i am quite sure it happens a lot , hence the term "One night stand", yet Sex is also an act of love, and in this instance, i'd prefer to call it making love, as the term sex alone, to me, makes it feel same as the explanation i gave earlier, which doesnt necessarily involve love.
Also in as much as sex is used as an expression of love, i do not believe that in order to prove ones love for the other, they must have sex. i know of a few couples that loved each other dearly and chose to not engage in sex until after they have said their vows to each other.
i strongly believe that sex is not a way to prove but rather a way to express intimate love. If someone says they need to have sex for love to be proven then to me , that is not love, or rather should i say, mistake for love, misinterpreted love. It more like falling in love with ones body and what it can do and how it can satisfy you, which is just one aspect of intimate love. i believe one has to fall in love with the person for who and what they are (not physically), and then the physical aspect of it to follow. Although i do agree that sex (love making) can be a great seal to a great love, sex should be the cherry on the cake and not the cake, that's why in Christianity, sex is sacred and should be regarded that way.
Just my 2 cents.
