what is "make love"?
today marks the first time ever i watched a pair of dogs having intercourse. while i was looking at the dogs, stunned and amazed.. well i know it was a private affair, but i couldn't get my eyes off from what i was looking at. oh by the way, there were no emotions on the dogs' face. i was like, "are they enjoying what they are doing?"...and few thoughts came to my mind: 1) are the dogs making love? why is it called "make love" from the first place? is there "love" involved in this course of action? no. so, the dogs weren't making love. they were merely having sex. 2) how about humans? why is it called "make love"? is love being produced during this action? hmmm.. not too sure. can i conclude that children are made from this action, therefore children are "love"? 3) if my assumption in no. 2 is acceptable, can i say that couples who have intercourse but do not want a child are not making love.. but merely having sex? ...
