The evolution of the patterns of lovemaking is such that the more we move from the past and traditional and contemporary behaviors, the more romantic acts of fluidity, instability, multiplicity and diversity. Each of these patterns is represented by distinct features. In the traditional pattern of lovemaking, expressing love in public is considered ugly and shameful, far from chastity and even disrespectful, and romantic acts become an "extra-secret" act and are exiled to the social scene. Also, more obedient women are in fact submissive and a tool to meet the sexual needs of men. Romantic lovemaking is associated with romantic behaviors that are strongly expressed and appearance, appearance, beauty, mutual understanding are important, and sometimes one-sided sacrifices occur in this type of lovemaking pattern. Playful lovemaking is a clear manifestation of secrecy and dishonesty, and friendly lovemaking means the preference of friendship before marriage in the formation of lovemaking. Logical aspects such as job, morality and behavior of the individual and parents, being good and having inherited and cultural commonalities are important in realistic lovemaking. Erotic lovemaking emerges with the characteristics of lover focus on lover, sense of ownership over lover, and intense sexual need. Instead, sacrificing love is characterized by self-sacrifice for one's spouse, enduring hardships and pain for the sake of one's spouse. Prioritizing the emotional satisfaction of spouses, expressing interest through receiving gifts, direct expression of love and affection and a sympathetic attitude in the absence of mutual interest and other issues, are the distinctive features of pure lovemaking with other patterns. Finally, liquid lovemaking implies its hobby, the importance of money, the formation of playfulness in relationships, extramarital sex experiences, and the formation of unstable virtual relationships have shaped the new pattern of lovemaking. Numerous emotional and sexual relationships with different people, the importance of money and material in relationships, temporary and casual friendships, the dominance of virtual relationships, the development of extramarital relationships and the performance of love as a playful phenomenon show the formation of relationships. The figure has somehow caused the fragmentation of lovemaking and the consequent fundamental consequences, including the transformation of the family as well as the transformation of the social situation.
