CHANDLERS WISH

So a few points were bought up, sex verses love..........

Hense, can you have intimacy with sex?

I don't believe so.

How do you view intimacy?

Is it a simple, touch?

As well as, total no inhibitions?

Would you be "intimate" on a one night stand, not foreplay but totality?

I'd view intimacy as taking comfort in each other, in close physical proximity, taking mental as well as physical pleasure, for example smiling to yourself gazing at a girl you feel for snoozing on your chest, is intimacy.

I have had sex with no intimacy at all. It was like I was not there in some ways. Or maybe because it was long ago and I don't remember well! LOL Those were my first sexual experiences.
However, I think you can have sex without any intimacy. Just body parts.
Intimacy is something that happens with physical contact and/or emotional contact. You share something besides bodies touching.
Body touching alone is not intimacy, although sex is sometimes referred to as "intimacy". Odd. But sex can be *part* of intimacy, IMO.

Really? How come sweetie?

For me, nowadays, the word intimacy has taken on sexual connotations.... but it is much more than that. It includes all the different dimensions of our lives - the physical, the social, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects. Intimacy really means total life sharing.

I can almost guarantee that most of you will say that youve been hurt by past relationships, and most likely built up walls, saying 'im never going to get hurt again....' but these 'walls' that keep people out, also keep you stuck inside....the result? Loneliness sets in and true intimacy becomes impossible. Just my views....

Um, what was the question, i appear to have wandered away from the topic.... oh, right...

Intimacy is about being emotionally close to your partner, about being able to let your guard down, and letting him or her know how you really feel.

I view intimacy as something measured in levels. While a one night stand can be viewed as having a low level of intimacy, while making love to your spouse the highest.

Sweetie, it's part of sex, seems everything's part of sex But, your correct, it's having no boundries, no walls, no inhibitions, d a m n that's sex too! With total emotions.......me not disagree.....

I can have sex. I just don't WANT sex, for the sake of having it, i prefer to have emotions, feelings for someone and have sex/make love with total intimacy... HA.
