Yes, it takes two to tango and Makoto isn't absolved of guilt or any such.
However, Makoto himself seemed to be a very confused guy at the beginning of all of this. He didn't know how to go about a relationship and leaped in to the physical stuff right off.
When Sekai gives him those lessons, she pretty much does him in right then and there. He can't get his mind off of her and not wanting to hurt Kotonoha, he avoids her. It's pretty obvious though that he knows what he is doing is wrong and yet Sekai's acceptance of such behavior only encourages that.
Should he have went to Kotonoha and broke it off after he found himself in love with Sekai? Yes and he is a bastard for not doing so. However, I think Sekai should have made sure of it herself that he had broken up with her, particularly after Kotonoha kept claiming they were still going out.

Was Makoto ever in love? I wouldn't say so. He went with Sekai just because she gave him action and Kotonoha didn't. The only time I'd say Makoto was half in love was at the end, before his death, when he looked like cleaning up his act - but thinking it a little further, I think he was just running away from a pregnant Sekai.
Sekai is just as bad, but Makoto's no poor confused boy. I think he was well aware that he was playing all the girls. But you can't blame him entirely either...all of them acted with no self respect, were easy, and let him get away with it.
