Resolved: That great intimacy is possible without sex, but great sex is not possible without intimacy.
Agree or disagree?
My own perspective is that I have had great intimacy with people I've known, particularly my best friend with whom I've chatted for a few years now yet never met in person. She knows more about me than anyone in my life, even my ex-wife... and yet we'll never have sex. Then again I've had sex that gets better the longer I'm with someone, and the more emotionally intimate we are. The point where my marriage started going downhill was when we stopped talking, stopped sharing things, and it was reflected in every aspect, including in bed. It was just going through the motions for both of us. So naturally, I agree to the truth of this proposition.

I think either is possible. I have a person that I have the some of the best sex of my life with, we are not friend, or lovers, we just hook up now and than, we never contact each other unless it is to set up a play date, I know nothing of his life nor him mine. I have a FWB that we are very close and love each other very much and sometimes the sex is great and sometimes just ok, but always the intimacy between us is always great. I have friends that we have a very intimate friendship without ever having sex. I do think when we are deeply in love sex is only a part of our intimacy with that person, and like you said about your ex, when we lose all forms of intimacy in a relationship it falls apart and we fall out of love.

This is a subjective question but for me, I agree.

Over time, yes, but you can have amazing sex with someone new. If it is just for sex. It can get stale pretty quick if there's nothing after the orgasms on an ongoing basis.

Posted by KhaCRYou ever feel like you found the perfect sexual partner then he turns out to be a complete 💩bag and you can’t find the satisfaction in other encounters?

Posted by KateOahuYes, I agree that the reverse is also true.
Posted by JolantaThis is what women have to put up with and then they want to be intimate while we are still angry because they will not do their share of housework.
