Is Sex an Integral part of Love?

I believe that sex has always been an integral part of love making, but we can’t say it a lust, coz this is a requirement and I believe that there can be no denial of the above statement.
• Not loving anyone and just having sex is lust, but doing it when you are in love is the right thing. In India we have a tendency to treat this kind a attitude as an unscrupulous one.
• Loving anybody and not having sex is again impossible, since this can never happen unless something which is “tacit” happens.
• Just having sex and changing the partners is no love but if u commit to marry then its justifiable.
Having in consideration the above three points we can say that yes, Sex is and Integral part of love making and we can never separate them coz they go hand in hand and if you are treating both these things as two different entities than probably –
1.Ur a reserved or very conventional person or
2.Ur are an unscrupulous person seeking only materialistic pleasures.

It would be really interesting to have this discussion in the age of Modern India( Not “Western India since there they change partners so frequently) but having certain limits to our language.

Sex vs. Love
Love and sex are NOT the same thing. Love is an emotion or a feeling. There is no one definition of love because the word “love” can mean many different things to many different people. Sex, on the other hand, is a biological event. Even though there are different kinds of sex, most sexual acts have certain things in common. Sex may or may not include penetration.

Differences Between Love and Sex

Love
• Love is a feeling (emotional).
• There is no exact “right” definition of love for everybody.
• Love involves feelings of romance and/or attraction.
Sex:
• Sex is an event or act (physical).
• There are different kinds of sex but all kinds of sex have some things in common.
• Can happen between a male and a female, between two females, between two males, or by one’s self (masturbation)

Abstinence
The word for not having sex is called abstinence. Some people, especially people who think it’s not cool to wait to have sex, think that abstinence is a completely bad thing. Actually, there are some really good things about abstinence and some of them might apply to you.

Abstinence, or not having oral, vaginal or anal sex, is the best way to protect yourself. It is possible to get an STI even without having intercourse (penetrative sex) through skin-to-skin contact (herpes and genital warts can be passed this way).

You also have to think about your own personal values and feelings. Your teenage years bring a lot of changes in how you feel about yourself, family, friends and potential love interests–even if you don’t think about sex. No matter what your feelings on sex are, it may be smart to wait until something “feels right.”

Ways to Express Love without Sex
There are millions of nonsexual ways to show someone you like them. You can show a person you care for them by spending time with them. Go to the movies. Or just hang out and talk. If you are with someone you really like, then anything can be fun.

There are other ways to feel physically close without having sex. These ways include everything from kissing and hugging to touching and petting each other. Just remember that if you’re not careful these activities can lead to sex. Plan beforehand just how far you want to go, and stick to your limits. It can be difficult to say NO and mean it when things get hot and heavy.
