For anyone interested in these things, the chord progression for this song is a 12-bar blues pattern. I would call this early R&B/Rock 'n' Roll because of that. It's the same progression as Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode".

In Henry James's 1880 novel Washington Square, Lavinia is asked for the name of the man who was making love to her. Oxford UP includes a footnote explaining that perhaps the expression's modern use dates to after World War II. I believe the change in meaning occurred in either 1960 or 1961...considering the date of the Stafford recording.

No, it's only risque in today's conotation. I was only 6 when this came out, and I understood it to me things like giving a woman flowers, being sweet to her, and maybe even kissing. At least that's what I saw my parents doing to this song. lol.

i don't think a song can be risque. it's an action that is risque. besides, singing or playing this song to your lover is not risque at all.

Compared to the music that's being played today? No not really that risque. To "make love" back then could also constitute an embrace, kissing, courting, etc.

I was dating my future husband when this song was popular in the 50's!!
I miss the quality of the old songs. I never buy any music by today's artists, guess I prefer living in the past when life was simpler and love was between you and your mate!!!!
