So many people confuse sex or the act of making love as intimacy. They couldn’t be more wrong! Understanding intimacy is very important when in a relationship with someone, for it is only in understanding intimacy that we can truly achieve it.
In understanding intimacy one needs to firstly understand that true intimacy is about connecting on a deep and intimate level with someone . Intimacy is about sharing your needs and desires and your inner most feelings with someone together with sharing your body.
Why do so many of us have trouble understanding Intimacy?
I suppose intimacy is not really someone we learn at school and sometimes things happen to us in our journey through life that cause us to fear intimacy. For real intimacy to be achieved the basis is trust. Trusting in yourself and trusting another person enough for them to know everything about you. Everything about how you feel, what you like, what your fears are, to know and understand you physically on a sexual level.
Understanding intimacy and wanting to achieve it with someone takes courage and commitment and of course love. Courage to expose yourself to someone else, so they can truly see you for who you are. Understanding intimacy and wanting to achieve it certainly takes commitment, a dedication to the relationship, a willingness to grow and learn with and about the other person.
