114: Making Love vs Fucking vs Having Sex. What's the Difference?!

Send us a text

Is “making love” just a polite way to say “sex”? Or does it mean something softer, slower... maybe a bit boring? In this episode, Rosie and Roula dive into the language of sex: what we call it, why it matters, and whether saying “make love” is sweet, cringe or completely outdated.

We cover:

• Why the term ‘making love’ makes us squirm
• Whether sex can still be romantic without being vanilla
• Cultural differences in how we talk (or don’t talk) about sex
• How shame, language and expectations shape what we think is “appropriate”
• And why the words we use might be stopping us from asking for what we actually want

So... do you call it sex? Making love? Something else entirely? Let us know.
