making love
strange title. don't be embarrassed.
there are things you only ever say once in a lifetime (or sometimes maybe never at all). anyway, one of those expressions i've always had difficulty saying is 'making love' or 'make love'. whatever. the f-word or the s-word is so much easier and doesn't have the same potential for sounding corny. however, I did once say to someone 'make love to me' and it actually came out alright, not at all like a film noir farcical thing.
love often makes you say strange things you wouldn't normally say. has anyone else said something only the one time and maybe wonders if they'll ever have the nerve to say it again?
As everybody known that someone partner is whom you chose to spend ur life time with so when decinding on this always look for someone you will choose as a friend and remember your veryself matters as well because if you can marry yourself i douth it if you can get someone to love you.

"Yes, I think buying a house together is a GREAT idea!"
I don't like it either...being a scientist I should say "Shall we copulate?" but I think actions speak louder than words...when you are on top of them with nothing on they'll get the point.
If I was a guy I'd have trouble proposing...it is by nature a cheesy thing to do. Maybe "How would you like to be buried in the family plot?"
She speaks very highly of you George...
Never thought about it but you're right... I don't use 'make love' either... wonder why not huh?
Interesting
i couldn't call myself a 'woman' 'till my mid-thirties either. what's that about?
Jude, have never been able to imagine myself proposing to someone. what if they said no! the shame! 'tho i have to say, practically all the marrieds i know, it seems, the woman did the proposing...
another horrible 'equality' 'equality' gave us.
And so she should, seeing as how as a life form I am several million times her superior.
I proposed to my dearly beloved. I wrote him a letter and then went for a drive while he read it!!
You can't beat Meatloaf when it comes to regrets:
praying for the end of time
to hurry up and arrive
'cos if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think I will ever survive
blah blah...
praying for the end of time
is all that I can do
praying for the end of time
so that I can end my time with you
hahahaha
I prefer a chicken kebab myself, how can you eat meatloaf while driving a car?
aaahh (?), the missionary position. how thoughtful of you s.d., and how it makes romantic kissing so much easier doesn't it just.
I remember emu, 'tho probably not the one you mentioned.
that's so sweet Emma. what was the first thing he said when you got back if you don't mind me asking?
Where's my dinner?
er...it's all a bit complicated because he'd still got his cassock on.
bloody hell
...but of course he said yes...!!
thanks everybody. very interesting!
Neil, i'm celibate so it wouldn't be very fair of me to propose to anyone at this stage ; )
George, how very PC of you, i'm surprised. i always think saying 'make love with me' would imply that you'd started without them already
Not PC on my part Tanya, I always think 'to' = selfish, whereas 'with' = sharing and mutual satisfaction.
What are you celibating Tanya? *snigger snigger*
"Actually, your bum does look big in that."

Sex language is a right minefield.
"Make love" is really cringeworthy (but I suspect I've used it); there may be no love at all involved and it's changed meaning over the years.
I don't like the f-word, it's too overused in the context of general abuse.
"Shag"'s better but has too many ornithological connections for me.
"Bonk" is really awful ever since "The Sun" decided it wasn't taboo and printed it liberally in every issue.
Maybe I shouldn't go beyond foreplay. In writing, at least.
Neil, I have a friend who is a lecturer in ethnic languages at Hatfield Polytechnic. He tells me that 'f.uck' is the only truly universal word in the entire worlds languages. Everyone understands it no matter where they come from or what language they speak. I suspect that it's interpretation is closely linked to body language, tone of voice and expression. I know it's not a well-loved word, but there is no other that conveys ones meaning as concisely and as accurately. I also find it strange that words that are used so liberally by all layers of society should be so unacceptable in the media. Another case of human conditioning I guess.
trying to cast my mind back here, but im sure that i heard in a lecture once between snoozes, that the f word comes from war... something to do with despatches? Used to be acceptable, then the meaning was corrupted.. I could be wrong. I'll google.
hrm cant find it. perhaps not just snoozing but dreaming.

Aargh! One of those forgotten threads coming back to haunt some of us perhaps??
Once made love to a real Emu.....bastard didn't respect me in the morning!
And the peck marks.....don't get me started.
...well, the end of time came for me anyway!
Liana's post made me think This comes from the BBC website of all places
"Although this sounds like the most Anglo-Saxon of all Anglo-Saxon words, the origin of the f-word meaning 'sexual intercourse' is actually rather obscure. There is a legend that the old name for the crime of rape was 'Forced Unlawful Carnal Knowledge', and part of the punishment was that an abbreviation of the crime would be branded on the perpetrators head. Hence, people with 'F. U. C. K.' on their head were known to be rapists. A similar story is that during the time of the plague when it was necessary to increase the population a royal injunction was issued telling the common folk to 'Fornicate Under Command of the King.' These, however, would appear to be acronyms intentionally spelling out an existing word rather than new creations themselves.
Eric Partridge, a famous etymologist, has suggested that the Old German 'ficken' or 'fucken', meaning 'to strike or penetrate', was related to the Latin words for pugilist, puncture, and prick, or to the Latin 'futuere' which had the slang meaning 'to copulate'. There are also clearer links to Dutch where 'fokken' means breed and is applied to cattle, and to a Swedish dialect word 'fokken' which has the English meaning. Certainly, all the earliest uses of the word in English came via Scotland, suggesting a Scandinavian origin4.
Records from as early as 1278 identify a man called John Le-Fucker (which, considering people often had names to do with their occupations, makes the mind boggle), and it was certainly in common usage by the 16th Century, appearing in a dictionary, John Florio's A World of Words, in 1598. By the 18th century, it had became a vulgar term; It was even banned from the Oxford English Dictionary."
Man: Are you gagging for it?
Woman: DUH!!! do bears shit in the woods.
Stephen. A cherished childhood archetype of mine has just been brutally violated.

MY OH MY!
what a great thread.
Tan: the words used in sex are a minefield and I found that the best way to get across something non corny but non offensive is to use phrases like, "have some fun", "play around" etc, saying that I've always believed that if a woman can say anything just prior to intercourse then you're dong things wrong as she should already have a mouthfull.
S.D: good to see you entering a normal conversation. I too had one of those Emu puppet dolls for xmas as a kid, it used to scare the sh1t out of me and i once watched it rise up off the floor and stare at me all night. I ripped it to bits thenext day and never thought about it again but your metyhod would have been better.
Li: who would retreat to somewhere damp? Gollum? Moist is a better word surely?
Tanya love, if you had somebody in mind you should have got him to one side on February 29th, popped the question and watched him very carefully.
If he turned funny colours and looked wildly for the door, you could have laughed it off as a quaint national tradition, ha, ha, ha and put him in the emotional trash bin prior to final deletion.
If he said OK, you'd have cracked it but make sure he backs it up with expensive jewellery.
Ah well, there's always 2008.
For other tips on the finer arts of romance it looks like Flashy's got all the angles covered.
>> ...a damp calm place of retreat... <<<
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....
ROFLMAO
oh christ.... That is SO funny
Perhaps I've been shagging the wrong women for the last 40yrs!
No no no, don't answer that, I HAVE been shagging the wrong women for the past 40yrs.
furtuo off george!
I think that lecturer is a right quiente!
It'sjust crossed my mind that perhaps 'chianti' has the same root! What a thought, drinking chianti from a quiente. Brings a whole new meaning to going on the piss.
Kent means i know what you mean in Aberdeen.
'I Ken't that or i Ken.'
Is it a religious celibacy Tanya? Has Jude converted you? Tell us more!
oh no, nothing to do with religion at all, more geographical really, a reclaiming personal territory sort of thing. don't think i'd choose it as a permanent way of living 'tho but
I lost my virginity to an emu, belive it or not, well dya rememember rod hull and the emu puppuet i got one of them when i was about 10, the puppet and of course about this time i was just becomeing aware of my penis and the fruits of pleasure it contained, so anyway, i cut a hole in the emu's eh, well in between its big lanky puppet legs and basically i 'done it'. Looking back it has me in stitches i was lets say 'makin love to this emu puppet on my bed, i was moving its big yellow puppet legs behind my back while romantically kissing its beak, it was so funny, and it was good...hey i was only ten..
can anyone remember the emu puppet, and they might grasp what i am on about.
I always thought it was "For unlawful Carnal Knowledge" and indicated fornication or adultery
I lost my virginity to an emu.... LMAO.
You're a Forced Unlawful Carnal Knowledge-ing scream steven.

That ranks amongst the funniest thing I have read on these forums.... SD.. you are a prize!

I would be very wary of a woman that asked me to make love to her.
I would welcome with open arms any woman that asked me to make love WITH her.
any...even Jo Brand?
Jo Brand is NOT a woman, she doesn't even qualify for 'animal', she might just make vegetable though.
