[FRIAM] Pondering the slang Adulting

[Gillian Densmore]

Nick that's a good question! Without to much info. I'd saying that making
love is a little of both.  On one side it is my opinion if she is good
enough to make love to, she's good enought to get her female need products
and keep rubbers on hand.   On the other side. IMO Making love should be
playful-for example.
