Open communication is for me the highest form of intimacy.

Superb Opinion

  • There are five levels of intimacy:
    1. Safe communications: We share facts and information with each other
    2. Others' opinions and beliefs: We share opinions n beliefs of our associations, not our own
    3. Share personal opinions and beliefs
    4. Share my own feelings and experiences, so we kinda reveal our own identity here
    5. My needs, emotions and desires. It is the level that requires the greatest amount of trust. If I can’t trust that you won’t reject me, I’ll never be able to share my deepest self with you.

    One may confuse level 5 with sex, but now that one can have sex at any of the above levels.. whether or not we know each other that well. Casual sex is an example of the same. But are they truly intimate to each other? No!

  • For the average Western citizen, probably not.

    SO MANY enter non-reproductive sexuality 'guarded', ... inhibited by past societal promulgations warping One's innocence to THEIR OWN agendas, ... self deprecating, ... espousing 'dogma's they only superficially comprehend... and yet find themselves innately evolutionarily-driven to participate in copulatory foreplay.

    Unknowing 'damaged' psyches proffered as "normal". BUT... this is NOT life's experience sole option. In Eastern practice of Tantra, it IS possible to experience the ultimate human perception of 'intimacy' ... they term as ''Quodousch'.

    I know, because I speak from firsthand experience, ... having been privileged to have experienced this state-of-being only TWICE in my seventy years and never TWICE with the same companion.

  • I agree. And really hot monogamous sex is vital to any relationship.

    • Open communication is vital too

    • Actually I take some of what I said back. Some people can be very happy in non monogamous relationships. But it’s not for me and both people have to really want that lifestyle.

    • Thanks Gwenny

  • Considering some people have sex with random people they've just met, I don't think it's the highest form of intimacy.

  • I would say no. For me the highest form is when say your partner loses a loved one or similar and you are there to comfort them, that is far more emotionally intimate.

    Intimacy is connected to emotional state rather than simply a physical one.

    being able to sit there and listen to a partner discuss really bad shit that has happened in the past, then listen to you do the same. Is on a different level to sex.

  • It can be yes , and for me having sex is a form of communication the form of everything all put in one especially when you're making it about that person if you're doing it selfishly only for yourself then no it's not

  • But it isn't. . .

  • Most people view it that way.

  • I think so. I agree.

  • Like a smart women said, "some people have sex with random people they've just met" i do think it's normal to count it as the highest but that's cause most people are idiots so most people would think that. But sex is on the very low end of intimacy.
    The highest Intimacy is morbid but it's like this, the one you love has fallen ill she cannot do anything for herself less of all have sex but you stay beside her knowing your not gaining anything and just been a nurse for her, and that you would stay with her again and again and doing things for her if it meant been with her.

  • The highest for of sexual intimacy is shared oral.

    • form

  • Physically, yes

  • It's definitely normal, your at your most vulnerable when you're having sex with someone. But also sex doesn't always have to be so intimate, it can also just be for fun. Additionally, sex isn't the only high form of intimacy and for some people other forms of intimacy are now impactful than sex is and there's nothing wrong with that either.

  • in my opinion, it's actually not. i mean some people have sex with hookers. that's not really intimate, is it?

  • If that were the case why is prostitution still a thing?

  • I agree with both statements.
    It's the communication which forms the foundation for the relationship which then in turn makes the sex truly intimate.

  • Sex is just nature and not that special. It just feels good so everyone should have a gooood time together

  • Yeah that and passionate kissing

  • What else can you do intimately other than be naked with each other and allow physical pleasure... I don't know? Maybe opening joint bank accounts is the highest form of intimacy.

  • It can be but to me I feel like having a 100% bond of trust is something that would be a high form of intimacy

  • It’s just part of the whole

  • No, it's not.

  • Guys don't like to be vulnerable. They are hardly vulnerable except when they are hard and naked. This happens when they want sex. Vulnerability is a key requirement for open communication.
