Why does everyone hate the term "making love"?

The term "making love" is seen as a fairly lame way of saying it. Similar to the phrases "gee wiz", "totally radical", or "swag". All of these have fallen out of style.

It's also a case of you using the phrase in a literal sense while (nearly) everyone else just uses it as a term for intercourse.

I’d say when my man is spitting in my mouth and pulling on the belt he put around my neck, it’s not “making love”.

I wonder the same. I think the term "making love" is very sweet and honestly calms my fear of one day losing my virginity. I see sex as a way to strengthen your bond with your partner. The rawest form of intamacy.

Just an old term that makes people feel uncomfortable because it implies feelings are or should be connected to the act.

Today a lot of people can't decide what gender they are or if they ever want sex and if they do they're not sure if they want to be with a male, female, or both. You can't attach feelings if you are that undecided. It's more like just being an animal like a cat or dog. Just do it because of natural instincts. Few animal species mate with feelings of attachment.

I applaud you for wanting to have the feelings involved. If you're young you seem to be one of few.

I guess it makes people assume that the person using the term 'making love' could be against the idea of having sex purely for the pleasure of it, and thinks that it should only be used with someone you love. And that they view sex as something 'pure', like they're some austere nun or something, and they look down on those who have lots of sex purely for the physical act, not for any emotional bonding. They think that that kind of thinking is senseless and outdated and has greatly harmed society in the past, and they worry that this person is someone who ascribes to that outdated dangerous thinking, and so naturally they feel a little wary of them.
