Method of Madness:
I wouldn't say there's a difference between having sex and making love so much as I'd say that having sex is the general group, and making love is one of many subgroups.
Carl-E:
I think you have that backwards - sex is a subgroup of making love.
I know, I know, so many people divorce the two (pun intended). But this has always been my point of view - it's extremely hard for me to even think about sex with someone I don't find attractive in a myriad of other ways - IOW, someone I love. This is one of those greek terms for love that breaks it up into subcategories - eros, I think. Maybe not.
YMMV, and like I said, I'm old(er) than you. [/GOM]
Method of Madness:
I think you can love someone without having sex with them, and have sex with someone without loving them. So maybe they're different groups that overlap. [CYM] Then again, I'm still not convinced love exists. [/CYM*]

Throg:
There's no universal standard: both can exist at the same time.
People who can't have sex with another person without having some emotional connection (e.g., Marten).
People who have sex and have no emotional connection; or even actively avoid the emotional connection (e.g., Sven).
People who love other people without having sex (e.g., in extremis, Hannelore).
And people who move along one side of the spectrum to the other, e.g., Faye. And now, arguably, Padma, although that remains to be seen.
Then there are the characters who are figuring out what they want (Dora, arguably), want what they can't have (Tai), tranny furries (Pintsize), etc etc.
Near Lurker:
--- Quote from: Mr_Rose on 08 Dec 2011, 05:03 ---All the superposed cat demonstrates, really, is that physicists should never be allowed to name things and especially should not be allowed to borrow words that everyone else already thinks they know in order to do so.
--- End quote ---
What it demonstrates to me is that non-physicists shouldn't be allowed near thought experiments (or anything else). Then again, Ben Franklin taught us that already, didn't he?
