They are completely Different.

u dont have to "do it" to show you are in love, u can be in love without doing anything

and you can not be in love and do everything im MY opinion the meaning of sex is over rated

Nah!

i see what everyone is saying but i think it is in the sense that i personally don't feel lustful towards someone with out loving them first. i know there are people who have sex without feeling, so that's when sex and love don't mean the same thing. it depends on what situation i guess.

Sex is part of love... But you do NOT have to have sex to love someone o.O

Love, tender feelings, and sexual satisfaction entail parasympathetic arousal. Its a relaxation response which generates a general state of calm and contentment. The same pleasure centres light up in your brain when you experince love and sexual satisfaction.

You don't have to have sex with someone to love them.

sex is nice to show a person u love them, but u could have sex with someone u hate, and love is for real

I'm in a long distance relationship for a few months and people are always asking about this and 'omg isn't that hard?' But it isn't. When you've found the right one, he's the only one you want to sleep with.

Love is more powerful and more meaningful then sex and true love can make sex even stronger

They are absolutely NOT necessarily the same thing, but they most definately CAN be :)

I think women have a much harder time than men who can seperate lust & love more clearly. Anyone could have sex with a total stranger they just met & not even know their name, and just because you commit the 'act' giving a body isn't giving love always, it may be give or take-like in the case of rape, that is sex & not love! Love can also be present without sex, romantically & other types :)
