The meaning of intimacy in \u00a0relationship is a very essential topic, because the word “intimacy”has been greatly misinterpreted by so many folks.<\/p>\n
The word “intimacy” is a noun which was literally derived \u00a0from the Adjective “intimate”which means to be close or attached to someone.this shows that intimacy can occur among family members, close relatives and friends and not just in relationships.<\/p>\n
It is a word that best describes the kind of bond that occurs between two people who may or may not be related to each other.<\/p>\n
However, in relationship, the meaning could be broad. Aside, closeness, it is a term which we often use to describe the act of sex between two people in a relationship. Unfortunately, this is the only definition we pay much attention to. At the mention of “intimacy”our minds are often focus on sex, that we seems to forget the fact that it \u00a0also includes closeness and bonding.<\/p>\n
With such mindset, it is common to assume that two folks who are exhibiting a kind of sexual relationship with no strings attached popularly known as “friends with benefits” are intimate with each other. It is not odd to assume that two individuals who met at a one night stand are intimate with each other. \u00a0These are what we presume to be intimacy. But on the contrary, the meaning of \u00a0 intimacy goes beyond sexual relationship. In relationships, It actually entails a lot than we can ever imagine, which we are about to explain in details.<\/p>\n
