This is something I've been thinking about for about 4-5 years now:
The Psychology Behind Sex. My peers engage in it and it seems to be a big deal to them, most sexually developed humans seem to engage in it and it seems to be a major aspect of life and conversation. I've read the theories of Fritz Klein and Alfred Kinsey, seen Woody Allen films, read books and diagrams. But as a socially-retarded person, I only understand the science and machanics and not the human factors.
What first put all this in my head? The answer is simple: reading "Flowers For Algernon" while in 4th grade (for recreation). Charlie has sex with Fay, which is merely just fun, educational pleasure. Charlie also "makes love" to Alice, which he describes as being much more than the using of another's body for pleasure.
Honestly, I don't get it. I understand the difference between pure desire/lust and love-desire, but I don't get how it translates it into an activity like sex. An orgasm is an orgasm, right? If the conditions are right, then the results are the same.
I've been going on language cues to divide the act of coitus into three different categories.
1. Fucking: Apathetic, angry, or with slight malice. Ex: I fucked that bitch good.
2. Sex: Apathetic, almost medical, not particularly special. Ex: I don't know, I guess we did have sex last night.
3. Making love: Romantic, passionate, special, involving strong bonds. Ex: (from "Flowers For Algernon") This was the way we loved, until the night became a silent day.
What are your feelings on this?

From my opinion, sex is just sex. You can have sex for a load of different reasons, but it's just sex.
It seems as though many people of the Double-X persuasion see sex as more than a simple biological act, but I don't really see it well.
You only make love with people you love. You do not make love to people you do not love. You are only having sex with them. But when you have sex with someone you love, you are making love.
