is there a difference between intimacy and sex ? ..and if there is a difference can you explain it ?


Your heart is alway involved in intimacy. It can be in sex too, but it doesn’t have to be. Anyone can have sex only lovers can have intimacy.

is there a difference between intimacy and sex ? ..and if there is a difference can you explain it ?


SEX: The mechanics necessary to create life (man penetrating woman)
ALTERNATIVE SEX: the mechanics people engage in to simulate sexual penetration
SEXUAL FOREPLAY: the mechanics that attempt to arouse one into desire for SEX
INTIMACY: Bonding between two people


so Intimacy, for me, is about the emotional connection/bond that can happen during SEX but does not always happen for every body with SEX. Intimacy is an emotional connection that can also happen via many ways other than sex.

Sex is something physical. Intimacy works via a spiritual / emotional connection. Sharing hopes and fears, missing somebody dearly. JMO


Oh I didn't think you were from the south but yeah sure southern people think that way. But sure if that works for you I have no problem with that definition.


I am from the South? Nah, I am originally from the West of Germany, now living on the Northside of Dublin :wink:

Never mind, it is more wishful thinking, what I said.

Intimacy is more about emotions and sex can be just mechanical.

is there a difference btw intimacy and sex ?

Depends on the context of the conversation in which the terms are used.
I mean "OMG! We were...intimate...for the first time last night!"
"You mean you had sex?"
"Yeah, we made love."

There can be no difference between intimacy or sex, or there can be a world of difference.

..and if there is a difference can you explain it ?

Probably no better than a dictionary.

Toody,
I hate to tell you, but you're wrong on this....there is never any moment, that two people are more intimate, more emotionally vulnerable and connected, then during love making...whether people want to admit it or not, that connection is there even during so called "casual sex"....and when it's between two people who love each other....it can be pure magic

Intimacy has nothing to do with sex acts.

Wrong
Yes if it's a quick one with a random person
But in a loving relationship it's the intimacy that makes the sex!


So True!!!



That's a no!

Then it's a shame you've never experienced it!


My experiences not relivant whoa :smile:


That ls ike people thinking intimacy starts Online. :smile:



Of course you're experience is relevant, how else would you have an opinion?

Yes ...intimacy transcends and is not that easy to achieve but can be regardless of genders,age,time and culture. Sex weighs heavily on physical and most time temporary

Intimacy is using a feather, sex is using the whole chicken.

Intimacy is the blending of two souls. Not just knowing the what but the why of another. It is the falling of all walls between you and another. it is truly understanding another as you do yourself.
It is giving all without fear and receiving all in return.
Sex. Sex is wonderful, sex is great but sex is something one can do with a complete stranger and requires no true intimacy.
If you find both in the same person You win the greatest of all prises.

the reason why I say you are wrong is because many older people are intimate without the act of sex because the poor bugger has health issues and cant have sex, but he loves her and they have a special bond

I agree that sex and the physical part of intimacy, which is what separates sex from love making.

you can have two people love each other without the physical sexual part many people cant have sex because of ( insert what they suffer from) that doesn't mean they are not connected mentally.

Many wives and some husband love their spouse and the spouse is unable because of disease like Cancer but they are emotionally connected and just being with them is fine for them

that's my two cents.

That's ok we don't have to agree ! :smile:

Sometimes people are not good at either one and don't know the difference in intimacy or sex.

Speaking of Others !!
