Intimacy..

Define intimacy.

Not using condoms.

The feeling you both have when you are together, of acceptance.

A soft, purposeful touch.

Understanding without talking, like a flow of energy.

Letting someone really capture you with their eyes, like others have said.

Without intimacy, there can't be real connections, that's my opinion.

Intimacy is eye contact. Either those quick, "I know what you're thinking" looks or those long drawn out stares where each person's eyes tell a story or give away what the other is thinking about them (in a good way).

Giving a man cat eyes does the trick every time 😉 He'll be drawn to your eyes until your eyes go back to normal, which create a momentary gateway from your soul to his =) I've heard a few men say that "There's just something about the way she looks at me" about the women they can't seem to stay away from or forget. You really can do a lot with your eyes!

Intimacy is anything that gives the other butterflies or a euphoric rush (chills). 2 people may experience this during sex, during silence, during a random activity or during an exchange of words. It's that moment you temporarily drift away mentally to take in the indescribable euphoric feeling you're feeling towards that person. They may not even be aware that you drifted off into la la land for the moment to reflect, daydream or think of them. There's been times when I'll tune out while my husband is talking & think to myself like, "Aaaah how did I get so lucky?!!" He's told me before that my face & body language told him that I was somehow silently admiring him in some way. He felt it, although I hadn't said a word.

Intimacy is affection, cuddling, romance, affirming words, and sex that connects 2 people emotionally just as much as it does physically.

But these exchanges have to be truthful & genuine in order for both people to feel true intimacy (If not, only the person being lied to will feel the intimacy).

Eye contact.

+1

I never look majority of people in the eye, it's too uncomfortable. It feels like they could see my naked soul if they did. #12thhouseFTW

So instead, I just look in the direction of their face. People are too self absorbed to really notice tbh.

what's funny to me is when I'm in a long conversation with someone across the room or across the table. The moment I become conscious I've been focusing on looking in one eye too long and neglecting the other. So I'll spend 2 mins looking in their left eye, then switch, another 2 mins then back again.



.....no? Just me? Ok then.

Not just you. lol!!! Makes me self conscious, like all of a sudden I don't know where to look.

It's interesting everyone has a different perception of intimacy. I met someone not too long ago who kept referring it to physical contact and closeness. So,how important is physical contact? Can you be intimate with someone with minimal touch?

To some extent, yes, but there's a big piece missing to feel real intimacy.

Show the souls.

when you share farts. That's when it really gets intimate.

This^^ Is so important my ex Tiz the Libra Sun Scorpio moon man didn't do this and it bothered me so much. He refused to let me connect to him on deeper levels. Talking to him would produce zero comfort and close bonds. Felt like he was uninterested in what I had to say. It was weird, I went from deep emotional relationship with Scorpio, Pisces and Cancer to someone that I married that refused to connect.

Intimacy is letting someone into your heart and soul, the feeling of the tides running between the two of you as you are one. It's sharing some of the most private parts of yourself out loud and feeling that vulnerable, yet, scary intense desire to let someone in. Intimacy to me can range from just holding hands and being close to love making where we are exchanging soul energy. But that biggest one is eye contact!! Without it you can't connect...

raw, unfiltered, emotional/spiritual/physical closeness.

Exactly how I see it.
