Sex versus Love
  Why is it important to distinguish between SEX and LOVE? Because these issues could easily be confused when you are 'in love'.

The most important facts to remember here are:

SEX does not = LOVE and LOVE does not have to lead to SEX!
Sex:
  • Sex is an event (biological) or act (physical). There are different kinds of sex but all kinds of sex have some things in common.
  • Sex may or may not include penetration.
  • Can happen between a male and a female, between two females, between two males, or by one's self (masturbation)
Love:
  • Love is a feeling (emotional).
  • There is no exact "right" definition of love for everybody. Love can mean many different things to many different people
  • Love involves feelings of romance and/or attraction.
