It has been often associated with those topics, that it loses the real meaning of the word 'intimacy' in relationships. Most people assume that being intimate with someone primarily involves sex. Though sexual intercourse plays a big role, being intimate with your partner is more than that. What is Intimacy? Being intimate with your partner means that you are open to letting your partner know you deeper and he/she does the same for you. It involves exposing yourself even your most private angles.
