Understanding Physical Intimacy: Connecting Beyond Sex

So again, the first step is that we have to prioritize it. And you know, I think that part of it is just that we both have different ideas of what physical intimacy looks like. I think for a lot of men it's just sex. Like, I think it's like the active intercourse mainly, maybe oral sex thrown in there is like, that's, that's physical intimacy. But for a lot of women, they're like, yeah, sex is great. I mean, it's not that women love sex too, but it's like, but what about the affection? What about the non sexual touch? You know, and a lot of men, men and women, you know, in the unique way that God wired us. Generally speaking, again, this is generally speaking. There can certainly be differences among general populations of men and women. But generally speaking, I think that sometimes we come to this disconnect because we are not, we're kind of like for women, maybe we're like, well, he's not giving me a lot of non sexual physical touch, so why would I feel like being intimate with him?
