Intimacy is the feeling of being closed to someone, is when two people share their emotions, fears and desires, able to be emotionally open with one another, able to genuinely trust one another, and feel able to take the risk of being vulnerable, share quite moments or be able to watch someone peacefully sleeping next to you, a universal need that keep us away from loneliness.
*Sex and intimacy are not the same thing. Sex without intimacy can be very unrewarding, just as sex with intimacy can be deeply passionate and fulfilling. It is also possible to experience intimacy without sex.
