You're mistaken if you assume that making love with passion and having intimate relations are alike. They are distinct facets of your physical being and mental state. Casual encounters are generally used to satiate a physical desire without any emotional attachment while making love involves sharing an emotional connection with the person. It’s a way to show your deepest feelings for each other and to express the intimacy that you share. 

It’s not just about the physical connection but a spiritual and emotional one. If your man is making love to you, it’s a sign that he cares deeply for you and is deeply connected. It may be tricky to tell your lover's purpose. Let's dive into the post to know the 35 signs he's making love to you, not just trying to meet his physical needs.

 

 Signs He's Making Love to You

Physical intimacy has the potential to be the most profound way to convey love when combined with closeness and emotions. Without feelings, any physical encounter is just a bodily hormone-driven process. When he is emotionally invested in you, a man will only make love with passion to you. Here are the cues to look for to determine if that's happening.

1. Eyes Don’t Lie

Eyes are a great window into a person because they are always truthful. If he looks at you with longing and maintains eye contact while making love to you, it's a sign that he is truly engaged and developing a deep physical connection driven by love. On the contrary, if he were there to meet his physical needs, he would avoid making eye contact while engaging in the act.

2. Showers You With Kisses 

It shows he is deeply attracted to you and cherishes you greatly if your partner gives you many kisses during physical contact. It's a sign that your man likes you and wants to make you feel important if he is showering you with kisses while performing the act. 

3. Your Pleasure is Important Too.

One of the primary signs of men making love is that they will ensure you are having fun too. However, if it is just a physical encounter, he will simply reach the climax without thinking about your pleasure.

4. Takes Your Name

It is a sign of love and fulfillment when your partner uses your name during an intimate act. The act becomes more passionate when people take each other’s names while at it. 

5. Doesn't Fall Asleep Instantly

He will make it a point not to doze off immediately if he is truly interested in you. He may stay up a little late to enjoy the moment and cuddle with you.

Your body is only one aspect of making love. If, in bed, your man would start meaningful and private discussions, then it is a good sign he is making love to you rather than only an intimate encounter. He would be forthcoming and divulge personal and intimate details about his life. He might also divulge information to you that he hasn't previously shared.

7. Romantic Setup

He creates a passionate environment by setting up the room, playing romantic music, and dressing up as you prefer; this demonstrates his respect for you and his desire for a closer, more personal relationship with you.  

8. Practices Hygiene

Things can be turned off by foul breath and smelly underarms. If your man likes to keep it clean and practices good hygiene, this indicates that he cares about your preferences and doesn't want you to feel uncomfortable during a passionate encounter.

27. Checks On You

If he checks on you while in the act, it’s a great way to tell that he is concerned about your pleasure too. Your partner makes love with passion if he doesn't dismiss your feelings, creates space for your requirements, and is overall respectful of you.
