[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] What if you can't have sex for health reasons, but you can do other things. Both of you still want to have sex with each other and it's apparent. Is intimacy still possible?[/quote] I think it is. For me, a big part of the link between sex and intimacy is that my wife's desire to have sex with me signals her love for me in a way that convinces me of that love on an emotional level. I can know intellectually that if she cooks me a nice meal, it's a sign of her love; but it's not nearly as visceral as what happens when we have sex together. If she turns down sex because she can't be bothered, that's a very negative signal. That negativity isn't really present when her reasons for not wanting to have sex with me are clearly not a choice. If she showed me her desire even if sex wasn't possible, that would be emotionally convincing to me that she still loved me. [/quote] This all makes sense to me. Thanks for that.[/quote]
