Lips with a drawback for love-making? (6,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cupids bow

'lips' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Curvaceous lips' mean 'cupids bow' so perhaps 'lips' could also mean 'cupids bow')

'with a drawback for love-making?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'with' could be 'w' (abbreviation) and 'w' is present in the answer.
'love' could be 'cupid' (I've seen this before) and 'cupid' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

(Other definitions for cupids bow that I've seen before include "It delivers the darts of love!" , "lip curl" , "arm of 6 Down [PUTTO]?" , "Curvaceous lips" , "Shapely mouth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
