Sex & Intimacy

There is a big difference between sex and intimacy.  A sexual role is mostly comprised of satisfying our lustful ways and sexual tendencies.  Sex is the release of a different kind of emotion that is only geared towards the act of pleasing.  It's the act of pleasing ourselves and pleasing others.  Sex is simply just that, sex.   Intimacy should never be confused with sex.  In most cases, intimacy is misunderstood because of what makes up the conditions of intimacy which  involves the act of sex.  It first starts out as sex and leads into the deeply inner emotional phase of intimacy, if in fact, there is a connection that involves physical and emotional attraction. 

The main reason a person would confuse the two is because they want both while experiencing the other.  When one individual has not or does not understand the intimacy phase yet, they simply confuse the two acts and if sex is offered more than the act of intimacy, then perhaps this is where the misunderstanding is placed. 

As with sex, it can easily be adjustable and replaced with something better if given a chance.  Intimacy on the other hand is not so replaceable as it takes time to find the inner core of what intimacy is all about.  Intimacy is not acquired right away as you move through a union or relationship.  There must be plenty of time set aside to discover that you do have an emotional and inner connection with someone else. 

Once intimacy is discovered, it becomes something that the term yearning could never conjure.  The yearning for it is so strong that it becomes an issue or not.  Even so, intimacy is a powerful feeling that not only creates wonderful feelings, but it also creates a great self worth attitude, especially when you can finally share something about yourself, with someone else who in turn wants the same thing as yourself.  Intimacy has been known to give feelings that are just not describable and why should they be, when the act of feeling it, is more powerful than anything in this world.   Intimacy goes deeper than sex could ever accomplish.  Intimacy is the act of exploring more than the outer context. 

As human beings, we tend to protect the qualities and self centered thoughts that make us what we are.  Intimacy is more about sharing what is inside of you.  There seems to be a combination of emotional, personal and spiritual qualities.  The touching ways become more relaxed and the closeness is that much more intense as skin touches skin in a mesmerizing way.  Eye contact is more than just looking into each others eyes, it becomes an inner bond, a mirror of inner beauty.   If intimacy was a physical form, the hearts of two individuals would be chemically and physically connected forming a bond that is very hard to break apart.  The thoughts of these two entities would be in tune with the deepest inner qualities ever imaginable.  How riveting the thought, how powerful the entity.  

I would take intimacy any day of the week, over sex.
