IIRC, in Japan, ai is considered rather strong, and that, unless you are really in love with someone, it is better to use suki - like, or daisuki - really like.

Finnish: Minä rakastan sinua.
Swedish: Jag älskar dig (you need that last word, it denotes the object of your love)

Notice the umlauts (in truth the 28th letter of the alphabet in our languages)... :)

Hebrew:
Man to a Woman: "Ani ohev at otekh"
Woman to Man: "Ani ohevet otkha"

And while in English you'd "come", in Hebrew it translates as "finish". With appropriate mental image of collapsing on rumpled sheets and sweat-damped pillows....
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."

In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

I think that, seriously, anal would say "I love you" better than oral. Anal sex, for the receiver, generally requires far more trust and comfort with the giver than oral. In order to be good, anyway.

XaLEv, you're basically right about Japanese. It would basically be suki desu or daisuki desu, if you were telling someone you love them*. Ai is used to express a deeply sexual and passionate kind of love, IIRC, and I haven't heard it that much in anime and such.


*For those not knowing how to pronounce Japanese, those are said as "ski-dess" and "die-ski-dess", basically.

"Je t'aime" basically means "I like you," which is nice and all, but "je t'adore" is more appropriately "I love you."
And you may ask yourself, 'Where does that highway go to?'

Nope, can't think of any.

You know, somehow it really isn't a turn-on when a girl is screaming some other guy's name in the middle of it.

Pshaw, that's wrong. West Virginian for 'I love you' is 'Nice Tits'.
