There is definitely a difference between "making love" and having "sex. For me there really is no question on that. To be quite frank, I am much more of lover than a fracker. Always have been. During the relationship I had while my wife was gone the woman enjoyed the "lover" side of me, but was always pursuing the "fracker" side of sex. While I do agree there are times for just plain old fracking, too do it in that manner over and over gets to be too much like work and a lot less enjoyable than lovemaking.
Maybe that is a thought for me to work on? To put myself in those shoes and remember how it felt to be just an object of temporary physical satisfaction as opposed to something more.
I do court her Jack....with no expectation. As we know...expectation is the the root of a lot of evils.
