Re: "Making love"

[(Anonymous)]

Technically, in 1500s, it was actually a way of talking to someone [generally of the opposite sex] not physically making *anything*,iirc, and that person was not always your spouse/fiance.

So, it was more of a courtly love thing [since the only times I know of that term in relation to the 1500's it was related to the courts]. Even now, when it is used to mean something sexual, it's usually meant a very specific type of thing between two people who are in love...and not just a euphemism for "They fucked"/a one night stand, which is something different.

However, I'm not a linguist so I could be wrong about that.

Re: "Making love"

[caecilia]

Interesting! The only thing I found in my few minutes of heavy googling was To make love is from 1570s in the sense "pay amorous attention to;" as a euphemism for "have sex," from here.

I could be talking complete bullshit about the rest.
