What is intimacy? What does it look/feel like? What is its character? Do you like it or do you hate it?

I think it's a lot like what ZK said: It's being able to let down your guard and walls and just be. It's unconditional love. It's a shared commitment. It's sanctified, to use a religious term, in that it's set apart from all other things in that closeness.
Shoot, for this brother, it's but a memory. ![]() | |

Not sure what you mean by love language, but I think love always finds a way, and if it's true love the intimacy will follow. Although I'm not sure how I'd describe intimacy.....maybe in simple terms it's a closeness where the only other person you truly see when you're together is each other....for some reason I have a hard time thinking of intimacy outside of the actual act of love. | |

Intimacy has nothing to do with sex IMO.
Intimacy is: -laughing at the same things (especially the ones no one else gets or would even think funny). -ridiculous pet names you call each other in private -enjoying each other's company in silence, just taking comfort in the knowledge that the other person is there | |

I like it. I want it. I crave it. But I find myself getting it (or trying to) from people whom I don't really want to have sex with (and vice versa).
Weird phase. I'm very into both, but it doesn't usually work out when I try to mix the two. At the moment. It's holding hands. It's cuddling. It's taking a short road trip to another town at midnight to pick up something at the Super Wal-Mart because the regular Wal-Mart in your town is closed and you forgot that it would be. It's little stuff. A smile, a compliment, just making each other feel good, like you're needed, wanted, appreciated, whether sex is involved at that moment or ever or not. | |
