Level 9

I can't remember.

Level 7

Yes it does and that's why I'm falling apart .....

Dude, keep working at it!

Level 8

It sure does. Not that I can't live fine without - but I would certainly be real happy to have some - like... now. <grin>

2

Level 8

It would, heaps, if ever I got any.
I do get physical intimacy once or twice a month, but have not been emotionally intimate with someone for many years, into decades now.

Level 8

Very yes !!!

Level 8

I guess it would if I was intimate with anyone

Level 8

Emotional intimacy, absolutely -- and physical intimacy, only if the emotional component is also involved.

Level 9

That's what the research says anyway.

Level 9

Certainly

Level 9

Sex does indeed, even if DIY.

2

Level 9

Of course it does. There is much research to that effect.

Level 9

When I am in a relationship.

2

Level 3

Sure. But it takes time to really get to know someone. I'm pretty hard to get to know. So it's great to have in your life but intimacy is work.

2

Level 8

Yes for sure

Level 6

I believe that intimacy is necessary for all of us to have empathy for one another.

Level 9

Yes, and it would be even better if there was a woman involved.

1

Level 7

Sex? Yes.

Level 8

No bout adoubt it. Anything that reminds and reinforces a sense of connection... For me that makes life worth living.

Level 7

Yes; I wonder, though, which is more powerful - the positive benefits of intimacy, or the negative benefits of its absence. I suspect the latter.

Level 9

You bet it does...and then some.
