What exactly did make love mean in the ’60s?

What’s the best way to make love means no engagement in sexual relationships with other people, or at least engage in fondling mutually willingly and honestly? What did you mean in the mid-and late 1960s, when the slogan “make love, not war” was popular (among a certain class of people)?

  • Did the same “sex” meaning “sex”?
  • Meaning of towoo?
  • Was the word ambiguous?
  • Did it have no popular meaning at all (so that, in the slogan, it’d be simply the counterpart to to make war and therefore as meaning something like “to foster agape”)?
  • Why?

Can someone tell me where to find it?

Let’s say it’s the same as any other time. The context, of the 1960s, was a bit unusual in many ways.

How? Between the Vietnam War and the birth control revolution of 1959 and 1961, birth control laws were passed. “Make love and not war,” meant roughly, “don’t go to war (and kill Vietnamese) when you have such an attractive alternative with your female peers. What this ethos was occasioned by the incline of the “baby boom” that, as a result, more women born in the 1950s for (slightly older) men born

in the 1940s.

  • Regardless of whether the term “eros and agape”
  • was used or not, in some contexts it was
  • useful to leave “yes” as the first meaning of the context;
  • it could have the second meaning in other contexts; and in yet more contexts it was useful to leave
  • it ambiguous; although this context undoubtedly confounded, intentionally, eros and agape; I don’t remember any other meanings, but we were mostly pretty pretty drugged up at the time.

As recently as 1967, a soul singer Ronny Dyson had a hit with this line in its title and refrain:

If you let me make love to you,
Why can’t I touch you?

If you read any British literature from the 19th century, you find a lot of instances of phrases like “he made love to me and I want to make love to thee” and on.

Given how the prevailing social mores of the Victorian era have come to make its very name a byword for prudence, it’s a good bet that “within a judicial age” such as in the Victorian era have not been a reference to fornication or sex. If you are a man that wishes to marry a woman that you love, it’s more like a man asking a woman to marry you…?

While written by a late 19th and early 20th century writer, Lady Chatterley’s Lover is full of sex. It shows up every day but I can’t read it. I have seen some of the stupid, poorly produced porn movies which were based on it, and have seen a few of the reviews of those. I should have told the producers. Who wrote it and why?

In one sense the term making love is just a euphemism for having sex. During the “free loving” movement of the 60s, “Make Love Not War” was a concise way to embrace promiscuity and protest the Vietnam War at the same time. How much counterculture is contained in such just four monosyllabic words?

It translates as making love or the feeling of being close to someone. In reality, making love gives that sense of closeness. This is the spiritual dimension of sex, while the evolutionist may describe it as a cocktail of morphine and endorphins. Describe it how you’d like, the point is, amidst a swirling blend of vulnerability, trust, and friendship, two people often feel a rush of heightened closeness, a feeling of intimate bonding. During our sex, people are “making love,” that is, they are creating the feelings that often accompany emotional love and infatuation.

What is the purpose of making

love? In your eyes you can see the commitment, love and friendship you share with that guy that stood at the altar with you. This is the erotic pleasure that is offered and received. ” With you opening yourself to such joy make both of you feel better about yourself. Why does orgasms trigger oxytocin, the bonding hormone, in your body? Is feeling closer to your mate more valuable?

A website reads:

It is not a cute phrase for sex, but have deeper meaning. Sex is the physical act, regardless of context or emotion of the person involved in it.

Making Love is making love. A person gets feelings of love almost immediately with a neighbour, but their partner doesn’t.

Can you be as poetic as anyone who is using this term for cheap sex? In a house called

home, in a double bed, they’ve grown
so far apart, they just fumble in the darkness
Not one word is said And they call
it love Makin’ love, makin’ love Throw

it down, pick it up Dress
it up and call
it love Incidentally, OED indicates that
using the phrase “make love” to refer

to sexual intercourse dates back
to 1622, so the phrase has probably meant most
of your suggestions at one time or another, but if you
turn backwards
