The Meaning of Intimacy
For intimacy to be sustainable and nourishing it also requires trust, transparency and rituals of connection. It is possible to compete over intimacy but that is likely to be self-defeating. Intimacy requires empathy - the ability to stand in the others shoes.

Intimacy on Wikipedia
Intimacy generally refers to the feeling of being in a close personal association and belonging together. It is a familiar and very close affective connection with another as a result of entering deeply or closely into relationship through knowledge and experience of the other. Genuine intimacy in human relationships requires dialogue, transparency, vulnerability and reciprocity. As a verb "intimate" means "to state or make known". The activity of intimating (making known) underpins the meanings of "intimate" when used as a noun and adjective. As a noun, an "intimate" is a person with whom we have a particularly close relationship.

touch -- a poem

touch
need remains
naked
skin reflects light
light grows
touch
hands fingers cells
you
my dream calls
it sings
it screams for
touch
desire in the afternoon
the streets are dirty
reflect heat
body glimpsed
drive on
hold on
must remain calm
touch
i want it
need grows
tremors in my body
transmit life
youth blooms
on the beaches
searching the sand
and then
touch

Quotes About Intimacy
George Eliot
My whole working philosophy is that the only stable happiness for mankind is that it shall live married in blessed union to woman-kind - intimacy, physical and psychical between a man and his wife. I wish to add that my state of bliss is by no means perfect.
David Herbert Lawrence
Few things tend more to alienate friendship than a want of punctuality in our engagements. I have known the breach of a promise to dine or sup to break up more than one intimacy.
William Hazlitt

George Santayana

Lord Chesterfield
