Intimacy is a form of relaxing and opening with/to another. A palpable form of trust. There's nothing else like it in terms of feeling whole and connected. For me, sex builds on that and is the creative flowering of the plant full of passion and intention to please. It's kind of a yin/yang kind of thing. Intimacy and sex, can exist one without the other, but the combination of the two is sweet oblivion.

Sometimes I just want sex. Pretty sure I'm not alone.

@Desertcactus Sexual urges don't require intimacy. We're one of the few animals that seem to even have any awareness that "intimacy" is even a thing.
I don't care to get too lofty in my explanations when simple answers will suffice. And you're just making stuff up.

I’ve which a part of my journey where sex has endless possibilities At this time I’m more curious and enjoy the intersectionality of sensuality,sex & intimacy. So many hang ups of old don’t hang me up. Nice
It doesn’t matter for me if my brain tells great playtime is just sex-It’s fun fun fun
No analysis just fun and endless sensual possibilities
I wonder how much this is a factor in the search for simple intimacy. Is it possible that women resist intimacy because they're afraid they will be expected to pay off later?

What do you mean by simple intimacy?
I'm not understanding.
@Wildflower non-sexual intimacy.
@BitFlipper I see. I think women resist intimacy because most men don't understand what it is or aren't interested. When women start to become intimate, men back off because it includes emotions. Most men think intimacy is sex.
@Wildflower that's a different way of stating what I said. Well, I guess there is no solution. As usual, it's all men's fault.
@BitFlipper what is men's fault? Did I blame men for something?
@Wildflower Look at what you wrote.
#1 ... because most men don't understand or don't care ...
#2 ... men back off because ... emotions.
#3 Most men think intimacy is sex.
All of the flaws described here are attributed to men alone. I'm looking for opportunities for those flaws to be corrected, and I see nothing that can be corrected by any individual man. That's why I say there is no solution.
That's very true especially for women but the sex is nice too

That's the best
We want our brains and our psyches to touch, that is true intimacy.
