text: didn't "old" people love, too? i read a question from a teenager who wrote that "older people" didn't understand what it was to "be in love" even if you were young.  i'm wondering....how does that young man think he got here?  so many of the posts about "love" from teens revolve around sex, unfortunately.  i'm ready to hear from some folks, like me, who have been married first, then had children, and what they taught their children about the difference between "love" and "sex."  i look forward to reading the posts.  thanks. well teens think they know everything,but they don't have a clue as i'm sure you know.i'm 40, now divorced w/ 2 great kids.there is a difference between love & sex.also there is a difference between sex & making love.sex is just physical.making love is intimate & emotional.for those who have'nt experienced that i feel sorry for you.thats what i'm teaching my kids,but unfortunately it seems most parents today are'nt.
