Making Love?

Making Love

Isn’t just ambiguous and erroneous that the idiom ‘making love’ is related with making sex? So, if we play with the words, ‘to make love’ would be ‘to construct, to craft, to create, or to compose love.’ And according to the English idiom, composing love will be equal to having sex.

 We are using this expression and it is no surprise that people are unable to separate love from sex. When a man thinks of ‘making love with a woman,’ he thinks of her sexual bodies and how those will provide him the pleasure that ‘the noble love’ is supposed to give. A woman might also miss the caresses and cuddling from the man as the ultimate expressions and experiences of love. That is what some people, some songs, and some books are trying to get to our heads. That is probably why some couples meet to get and share’ love’ and then after they ‘make love’ it is over.

It is obvious that love doesn’t only consist of this physical interaction between two people only but also the spiritual connection between the two souls, the co-operation and sharing and many other lively correlations. How dare we equate ‘composing the beautiful, life-giving, healing and splendid LOVE’ with ‘making love’ only? Love is noble and gross, and the gross is never one. It is composed of all these elements, and it transcends the physical and goes higher to that which is an intangible and unfathomable phenomena.

Let us emancipate ourselves from the very narrow  sense of defining love as making ‘ love’ and let us experience, if not the full,  the ‘what-we-can-understand-and-practice’ notion and life of love.
