'Making Love' vs. 'Sports Fucking'

I think sex can be seen from two perspectives, "sports fucking" or "making love". The latter sounds cheesy, but I haven't found a better description yet.  The first time I had sex, it was a mix between making love and sports fucking. Most of the time afterwards, within my first relationship, we engaged in sports fucking. I thought sex was "ok", but didn't see what was so interesting about it. Don't get me wrong, we were able to explore our fantasies and talk openly about this, which was good, but treating sex as sports fucking didn't really do it for me. 

Then around one year later came my second relationship, when most of the sex was love making. Now, the two ways of having sex felt so different, that I felt the need to call them differently. I recall this one time when we were were making love, but for some odd reason I wasn't enjoying myself that much. Something felt off, somehow. Afterwards, I realized I had been watching too much porn, to the point where I was desensitized to the very type of sex that I enjoy - making love. I don't think porn is a good influence for what I think sex really is. Sex to me is a deeper method of communication with whom you share deep feelings with (love, care, affection). Also, being open about what you want, what feels good and what doesn't, and creating a space where the other person can do the same - that is paramount.
