When I think of intimacy mostly it doesn't involve sex at all, although there is no reason why it shouldn't.
The gaze of a mother and baby into each others' eyes, the elbow of a brother or sister unselfconsciously on a shoulder, friends who touch each other in a respectful, friendly and thoughtful way...these are all things that are intimate.
And of course there is bad sex, and also there are the popular requirements as to what we should be feeling in sex and how we should show it.
I don't know if this is the right thread for this, but intimacy is something that has been on the Board lately.
