yeah, due to lack of intimacy, i refuse to call my last partner an ex-GF, i will never understand why someone will agree to have some sort of relationship with someone, go on dates with them, hang out with them, cuddle and kiss them, but not want to do anything below the pants, i will never understand that.


So, you seem to be admitting that there was intimacy, just not of the type you were hoping for.


That doesn't count as intimacy to me


I guess we're just ignoring what intimacy means and redefining it to mean getting your dick wet.

There's nothing wrong with wanting sex, but it doesn't mean all intimacy that doesn't result in sex isn't intimacy.

Yeah, kissing and touching are also forms of intimacy!! !

Intimacy shouldn't be defined as only sex or penetration!

There’s emotional intimacy, too, which involves sharing thoughts, feelings, and experiences - stuff that you wouldn’t necessarily share with other people.

So you only care about the sex part? Just a genuine question.
