Yes, it means to have sex. In modern English, this is the one and only meaning. However, it hasn't always had this meaning. If you come across examples of English from before the early 20th century, you will see that it had a much vaguer meaning then. If a gentleman 'made love' to a lady in Victorian times, it merely meant that he spoke to her in romantic way. This would be the equivalent of 'wooing' 'courting' or, in modern speech, 'chatting up'. There might be a kiss on the hand or cheek involved, but certainly nothing more. Here's a little (almost) rhyme that shows how the usage was different in the past: Don't make love At the garden gate Love is blind But the neighbors ain't So, to answer your question, it all depends on the time period. If it's from an earlier era, it doesn't mean have sex. If it's modern, it does.

"Making love" almost always means "having sex." It's meant that for about a hundred years. Another very common euphemism for sex is "romance." In the 1964 hit song "Under the Boardwalk" the phrase "Under the boardwalk, we'll be making love" we know EXACTLY what the couple is doing, and some radio stations wouldn't play it with those lyrics--they used an alternate version in which the phrase "FALLING in love" was use throughout. ("FALLING in love" doesn't mean sex, it means the stages of becoming attracted). If you are reading OLD CLASSIC NOVELS before 1910 or so, you MAY find the phrase "making love" used to mean merely courtship, flirting, or seduction. Similarly, in OLD books, "romance" CAN mean passion or adventure. Beethoven is called a "romantic" composer because his music expresses many different kinds of passionate emotion.

It means to have sex. However, I think that it would be to have sex with feelings involved. Meaning the reason you are having sex with the other person is because you love her.

Yes, it means to have sex.

Thank you very much dear!
