27 Passionate Signs He Is Making Love to You & Not Just Having Sex

Making love and having sex are not the same thing. Anyone can have sex, but if you see the signs he is making love to you, it means a deeper connection.

Let’s be honest for a second. Literally anyone can have sex. It doesn’t matter the gender or age; anyone can have sex with someone else. But not everyone can or wants to make love to someone else. If you want to know the signs he is making love to you, first you must understand the differences between making love and having sex.

What’s the difference between making love and having sex

Making love involves intimacy. Having sex, well, you don’t need a high level of emotional connection to get the job done. Sex is just sex. There’s an attraction between people and sexual tension, and you don’t need to know much about your partner to feel that. But making love isn’t the same.

When you’re sexually attracted to a guy or a girl, you can’t wait to undress them, in your mind and in person. And you can’t wait to have sex with them. Of course, you can also be intensely attracted to them on an emotional level too, and that’s when you make love to them.

When you have sex with someone, it’s passionate and animalistic, even with the best of partners. But when you make love to them, it’s more loving, meaningful and deeper. And before you know it, you’d feel an intense connection between you two.

Let’s get to the truth of lovemaking.

1. He enjoys kissing you

With lovemaking, there’s a LOT of kissing involved. Don’t underestimate kissing; it’s very intimate and sensual. If there’s no kissing, there’s no lovemaking. Bottom line. [Read: How to kiss passionately and romantically, and enjoy every second]

2. There’s a lot of eye contact

If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that making love is all about eye contact. If he’s avoiding eye contact, he may be enjoying himself, and it’s just great sex. If he wants to make love with you, he’ll make sure you see he’s looking into your eyes. He wants you to make sure you’re enjoying the experience just as much as he is. He’d want to stare into your eyes, and he wants you to stare deeply into his.

3. He kisses you beyond your lips

When you have sex with someone, you probably kiss them on the lips. You feel passionate, and you may even kiss with tongue. But when a guy makes love to a woman, he kisses you not just passionately, but also tenderly. He’d plant his kisses, not just on your lips, but on your cheeks, your forehead, your neck, and literally every part he can lay his lips on.

4. He hugs you while making love

He’s not grabbing your boobs or kneading it like dough. He’s not scratching his nails on your back like he wants to devour you. You’d do that when you’re madly aroused and in a sexual frenzy. One of the signs he is making love to you is how he holds you when he has sex with you. Does he cuddle you and hug you passionately while having sex? He doesn’t want to f*ck you, he wants to merge into you and become one, and that’s definitely love.

5. Heavy on the foreplay

Lovemaking isn’t just sex. Making love is all about the foreplay; that’s where the magic really happens. If he really wants to make love with you, he’ll be taking his time through foreplay and exploring every inch of your body because he knows if you’re going to orgasm, it’s all about the foreplay.

7. What are the usual positions?

If he only has sex with you doggy-style, odds are, you aren’t making love. The positions he uses when making love are important. Lovemaking is about eye contact and intensity.

He won’t rush through the date, the sexual tension, or the foreplay. He’ll want to enjoy every single step, right from dinner with you, to everything after.
