What is the difference between love & sex-?

while I was a teenager, the term “sex” was not a term spoken among my circles. I grew up believing intercourse was for the procreation of children. I still believe this, only--------

At the same time, I had a few girlfriends. We held hands, kissed each other from time to time and continued a great relationship; but I never considered this “sex”.

I eventually married and now I am a grandfather several time over; that is what “sex” is all about

My desire to have children has long since passed; I am a grandfather several times over, but I still enjoy the company of a woman. Having said the above, I now wonder if my joy of having the company of a women; a feeling of “sex” or one of “love”; or is there a difference-?

In short is it sinful to enjoy the company of a woman knowing marriage is not an option.

Just asking

Illicit, immoral, unnatural, perverted, or gutter sex is not love and has nothing to do with love. Carnal sex is animalistic and brutally savage in nature. Love is of God and is pure and wholesome.

The following excerpt is from:
The Way home or face The Fire by JAH


6:29 Gomorrah was destroyed, because of its promiscuity, perversion and sexual-exhibitionism, and because it was controlled by sexual, instead of love values.

6:30 It is very sad, that people do not know the difference, between sex and love. One million tons of sex will never equal one ounce (or gram) of love. Unfortunately, millions of people spend lifetimes looking for love, and, because they don’t know the difference, they mistakenly find sex. When they don’t get the spiritual-satisfaction, that they are seeking, they try harder, and mistakenly think, that, if they get enough sex, it will bring them spiritual (real) satisfaction, and it will not. It is a vicious-circle!

There are 3 kinds of sex:-

1. SEX — Pure ANIMAL lust.
2. Sex with feeling.
3. LOVE.

No amount of the first two, combined, will ever equal the third.

6:31 How can anyone expect to find love, when they are looking in all the wrong places? Look up, not down. How can you expect to see what is above you, when you are always looking downwards? Love is spiritual, and sex is animal. When the soul controls the animal; uses it for the benefit of another in true love, and giving instead of taking; the act of making love, becomes the nearest thing to “Heaven on Earth”.

6:32 The loving of two spirits, both in control of their animal bodies, and being totally unselfish; wanting only to give pleasure and love to their partner; asking nothing in return; uniting both bodies and souls (as much as is possible within human-limitations), is the most heavenly experience possible on Earth, and is “Out of this world”.

6:33 Gomorrah was destroyed at the same time as Sodom, with a weapon so sophisticated, that it is beyond human-comprehension, and is nothing like silly, crude, human weapons, including nuclear weapons. The weapons on Earth are crude, children’s toys, that go “BANG!”, and can kill human-animals.
