Intimacy Vs Emotional Connection

October 06 2012

This comment on another thread - "the best lovers are good at modeling intimate physical acts without the emotional connection" got me thinking about the difference between intimacy and emotional connection. Where does one end and the other start. Is the manipulation of this concept what makes "players" so successful? What are the things that you consider to be intimacy or emotional connection. How do you really know when someone is emotionally connected?

    Can you really make the distinction between the two? From my experience and from reading these forums, I think that men enjoy the intimacy with their lovers and the more they are together the more intimate they become. Hand holding, staying all night, confiding their worst fears,etc. a lot of women see this as a growing emotional connection. I know I used too but I have come to realise that for men it is just another part of sex to enjoy. It does not mean that they are emotionally involved with the woman. Sure they might care as a friend but that's all. The only way to know is to ask. And if a guy says they are not interested in more than a casual arrangement. Believe them. So yes I think some men and women are players but you have to take into account that men & women look at intimacy differently. Meeka xx

    I find it very very easy , but I am married and in love with a man already. My husband gives me everything I need emotionally, we are very affectionate with each other daily, not just in sexual acts . When I am with my lovers ( only ever for one night ) I am affectionate, intimate and sexual, it's just how I fuck. I find sex better when we are intimate. They dont ever have to worry that I'm falling for them as that simply would never happen ( 22 years married , never monogamous , not happened yet) I can't meet someone and fall for them overnight, but I can and will lay entwined in you while we chat between fucks, I will slow kiss you all over , hold your hand, rub your neck anything that feels right .........then never see you again haha - I am actually looking for a male fuck buddy for us , but because of the way I fuck ( perhaps) some men get attached , and I don't want or need that, I just want sex .

    Because Meeka pretty much nailed it down for me and then MrsDCB finished it off, my post will be brief. Normally I would fall within both their definitions of intimacy versus emotional connection. Occasionally the emotional connection goes a little deeper without going on to a full blown relationship. In discussion we thought that the word "lovers" better described our relationship than "friends with benefits". There is a very genuine emotional connection and a very high level of intimacy, sometimes we do do many of the romantic things a couple would do, but without the day to day living together. But I can usually tell you what kind of day she had and she can usually tell you about mine. We are both comfortable with this level of intimacy and emotional connection, we are not exclusive and we are the best of friends. It's strange how life works out sometimes. Oh and as for the brief post? I guess......FAIL.

Meeka xx Well said Meeka   Pillow talk does not mean a man is in love with you, or even intimate.   You learn a lot about men once their bags are empty, before that they best lovers are intimate in a physical way, they know how to connect with you, this does not mean they have feelings other than, they like you and are enjoying the moment.   A lot of women make the mistake that he must be into them if gets you hot and bothered and makes love to you like in the movie s. The best lovers are also the best actors.   I player, is a man that you think should come back and fuck you again. I do not like that term at all, its like the female version of a slut but not in a nice way. A man has just as much right to say no to seconds as a woman has to say no to firsts.   We all crave intimacy, be happy for the time you get it, even if its one night only. If you live in the now, then you can appreciate the intamacy no matter what form it comes in. Men and women may see this from different angles.

    For us it is not a case of being successfull or not as a player but moreso just being lost in the heat of the moment and truly enjoying /losing yourself.Some people refuse to kiss anyone other than their own partners (maybe after watching Pretty Woman too many times) but for us it is very much a big part of the whole experience. We enjoy the time and sensations with who ever we play with but always leave with each other and back to our normal life One question of DeliciousCpl If you really connect with another girl/guy or couple both mentally and physically do you still not play with them again no matter how well you get along?

    is being really present in the moment, connect with eye contact, being attentive to the responses of my lover,and respond in my own terms to the stimulus and changes as they come.It is to be as open as possible, honest as possible, and give all in that moment. No holding back in any way.Of course it all depends in your partner and how much she is open to share. But regardless you can be very intimate with someone and not necessary get the same response.But this does not mean at all emotional connection. That is something that for me develops over time ....sharing experiences, sharing feelings, and growing deeper into each others worlds.I will not have sex without intimacy.....just not interested.But I can and I do have sex without emotional connection.

    with intimacy is when one person mistakes it for something other than what it is,and wants more,a deeper emotional connection which I define as attachment. Sex without intimacy, which for me means sharing more of yourself than just your body,does not require a deep emotional attachment but it does require some depth of feeling,liking and respect.This doesn't mean I want to share my deepest thoughts and feelings with someone I have only spent a few hours at a time with,and I certainly don't require them to share those with me.Some people are open and feel the need to share everything I admit to being much more reserved .

    there being a connection...a connection is more than just kissing, it is actually liking the person, liking their voice, the way they move, the way they dress, the things they say, the way they think!...It doesn't mean I want to live with them, or that I am in love with them...I just like their company, naked or not!Ricky

First I agree with the comment. "the best lovers are good at modelling intimate physical acts without the emotional connection"Mrs Del makes that clear: Having a beautiful, intimate, loving relationship that nurtures her and hubby’s every need, leads her, by the sound, to be a fantastic lover . I feel the emotional connection begins when every level of attraction is contented and valued – emotionally, mentally, physically, sexually and spiritually (for some) – All boxes ticked. Does manipulation of this concept what makes “players” so successful? Women’s emotional self is closely interconnected with their sexual self – for men it is completely different. So yes, I would say so for some. What are the things that you consider to be intimacy or emotional connection? I can be very affectionate, close and warm, private, sensual, deep and playful: I am an intimate friend – I like to be ‘close’; this is the key word. The emotional connection is when all of this can be sustained, nurtured and mutually cherished on all levels for me with a man. How do you know when someone is emotionally connected? A healthy emotional connection is when both partners can freely express/share themselves with a gorgeous vulnerability and acceptance; again, on all levels, - be it with joy, anger, love, fear etc - with an authentic trust and knowing. However, if not ready (emotionally mature or healed), one or the other could panic, attach themselves unnecessarily or run away - kind of a weird paradox really. This how I see the difference Like I mentioned in another post …. I’m in therapy haha xx

    Great topic and loved the various views and comments made from both the females and the males! From the outset, commucation and interpretation make things clearer for the guy and the girl, as to desiring fun "with no strings" or a "full emotional relationship" ! Then there is minimal or no confusion as to the couple wanting just fantastic intimacy or a deeper emotional connection.   As I see it, for some men and women, intimacy is a way of expression.....where they can express and share their affections, feelings, kissing, touching, embracing and all the physical/sexual climaxing.....without the need or desire to go into a deep full-blown relationship.   The problem or confusion may emerge if the guy or the girl mis-interpret the giving of intimacy as the signal or "go-ahead" for a deep emotional connection! Each couple connecting have their own dynamic, and so, I think that communicating clear intentions, circumstances or pathways for their connection (short or long term), can reduce heartache, if the heart-felt desires take hold (whether deep-down, intentionally or not). For some men and women..... they enjoy the simple no-strings intimacy and perform like "movie stars" because it takes away the pressure of having to be in a full-blown relationship and simply are happy to enjoy the awesome intimacy for what it is.   For those who have commented, in my view, it is difficult to generalise as to whether it is the man or the woman who can detach the intimacy or emotional connection better ???   Having said all the above, for me, when I do a job, whether it is intimacy or a (deep emotional) relationship, I try to do it with passion and to the best of my ability...LOL. Signing off for now......sensual and "heart-on-the sleeve" romantic man........speaking from personal experiences.

    This is something that for me is different from one friend to another. it really depends what level you've connected on, whether they are an actual friend with a bit of fun thrown in or whether they are a playmate only. As for whether a guy is only after a casual fling or not depends on the individual also. I've mislead a close friend about that simply because I know she isn't a relationship person, so I say that I'm just after fun too. it's also a protection mechanism, if I don't admit my feelings then they're not there. Which we all know is BS, but it helps when they're leaving and you'd love for them to stay.

    For me there is two types of intimacy - physical and emotional. Emotional intimacy tends to be expressed as an emotional connection these days.Most of the men I have seen are able to show, with ease, physical intimacy. The cuddles, embraces, kissing, all the yummy stuff. But it doesn't mean there is an emotional intimacy or connection. It means they are enjoying your company and it is how they express it. I agree with Meeka; don't see it as a sign of emotional connection.An emotional connection is sooooo different to physical intimacy. And is rare. My bloke denies there is any emotional connection from his side, yet is unable to explain why if he doesn't hear from me by 10.30 every day, he contacts me . Silly boy! He makes the subtle (and to me inexplicable!) differentiation by labeling it as a mental connection, and says that the more he gets to know me, the more he 'gets' me. Because of complicated circumstances we only see each other in person about once every 10 weeks, so most of our time together is online. He recently 'upgraded' our status from FB to FWOB (the 'O' being Occasional!) He shares so much of what he is doing, and his reactions to what is happening in his life, vents regularly and then says thanks bunny, I feel better now. So is that an emotional connection, or just a replacement of the physical intimacy that we can't have as often as we want?

    how ever can you have 'physical intimacy'.....without first establishing that emotional connection? without an emotional or intimate connection...sex is pure mechanics....its an act that satisfies a want....what we enjoy with our playmates isn't intimacy, not even close, its just sex, raw simple sex. intimacy...sexual, emotional, spiritual..... is what we share as a couple.....

    Missed this the first time around, so thanks for bumping it up the list again... this is a question that I've asked myself a few times...   I think you can have an emotional connection with a lover without becoming enmeshed in a relationship for want of a better way of putting it (although every interaction we have with another person is a "relationship" of some sort). For me, it's how I operate best... I find it very rewarding to have the emotional intimacy along with the physical, it doesn't mean that I'm going to "fall in love" with you, but it means that I will treat you with respect and dignity each time we are together or talk (unless you'd like me not to! )   For me, it's about being able to open yourself up to someone else for however long you are seeing each other and, yes, on occasion that's backfired on me with some of what I disclose being thrown back at me, but I'm a grown up and that's the risk you run. I find the greatest level of physical fulfillment by being this way, the sex just gets better with the nowledge and trust you have in and of each other.   Thanks again for the post, responses this time around will be interesting... can I join you on the couch? I'll bring the bubbles and glasses... ;-)   K

    I haven't read all these comments but my 2 cents:I enjoy the body and being enjoyed. This can be extremely sensual but emotions do not have to be invested.I seriously enjoy a few of my friends' company, but I'm no attached to them in the fact I want to be with them forever sort of thing.There is one whom I do what to be with forever but must wait a while for him. I am emotionally invested with him. Our sessions are so much more awesome because of this.

    ...between the two.We have some long-term (1+ year) playmates and I would say there is a level of emotional connection and intimacy during sex too that has developed (not sure it was there originally). But it's not 'love' or anything like it. We see them socially actually more often than for play dates and we have come to cherish the friendship just as much as we enjoy the sex. And I suppose there is usually some level of intimacy during/after sex, both separately and as 2 couples. We talk about the stuff we talk about with vanilla friends too.So, I'm not sure I can really fully appreciate the difference between intimacy and emotional connection with this kind of 'friendship'. Perhaps I've missed the point.Loving the topic though - fascinating. Will watch with interest.

    Excellent topic. Consistency, thank you, you said exactly what I wanted to convey, I think you can have both in a FWB and a full on monogamous partnership, the difference being that you don't have to see the FWB every day, like an old friendship you can pick up where you last left off and love doesn't come into the equation. My husband sometimes has trouble understanding why I feel the need to know more about someone than their name, sexual turn ons and STI status, for me sex would not be as enjoyable without an emotional connection, and what would be the point? I think a large majority (not all) women think this way. Just as a large majority of men can do the complete opposite, it's the way we are built and brought up.

    I think what interests me most is that many think there is a difference between how men and women think about this.   I wonder.......is there really?   Do men and women really think about this differently?   Don't we all really want some emotional connection and intimacy? Maybe the levels required between individuals, friends, couples differs at any given time, and with different people, but don't we all essentially seek the same thing?

    The timing of this is spooky, thanks for the bump Karyn.I live in a fantasy world where no matter how fantastic my life actually is, I always dream of the Knight in Shining Armour and the "what if"I always thought I was stellar at keeping my heart and vagina separated and never would the two become entwined. If someone becomes attached, I can cut them off without any grief - it makes me sound cold, which I'm not at all, but it kept everything clean and dry.But bugger me, I have now fallen victim and my stupid heart and even more stupid vagina have joined forces and are plotting against me! There is a gorgeous man I have been seeing, and when I say gorgeous, I mean inside and out. He somehow fills needs I never knew needed filling. I am an anxiety ridden stress head, but the minute I lay eyes on him, it oozes away, he has the ability to make me laugh like no other and renders me stupid (ok, that's no shock), but switches my brain off - which never happens. It is a complete escape like spending a week at a spa.We potter in the kitchen, go out for dinner, have shopped for groceries once together which was hysterical and so easily fall into sync. The way he touches me, looks at me, interacts with me - is sublime and I have allowed myself to get swept up in the ride, to a point where I enjoy this side just as much as the sexual side.Whilst I do believe he genuinely enjoys the intimacy of what we have and my company (lets face it, why wouldn't he ;), I am the only one who has connected emotionally (mind you these feelings only seem to be there when I'm pre-menstrual ahaha….stupid hormones) but they are there nonetheless.Now I know this is MY stuff and I'm the only one feeling this way, but my God, what a skill he has in his ability to be so intimate, yet keep his feelings so separate……Kudos to him!

I think as human beings we are all prgorammed to seek a permanent partner... (centuries ago, John Donne wrote "no man is an island unto himself.."), it's not in our nature to remain alone for the duration of our lives (and yes, there is a difference between "alone" and "lonely"..) whether our current emotional states as referenced by being on here is indicative of how we see ourselves remains to be seen, but from the discussions I've had with many women on here and IRL tell me that we're all looking in varying degrees for that emotional connection, and we use sites and media like this as a means of either entertaining or anaesthetising ourselves whilst we are on that search; this is of course a generalisation; doesn't stop us enjoying the physical aspects of intimacy, but there's a whole different dimension that is attahced to having the emotional connect as well... In 250 words or less... Discuss...

    As for the vagina Ms P. she's as fickle as they come, being driven by the heart though at this point in time sucks. Sirlurk's 3 F's make for an easier stressless existence but I don't understand the concept of fucking without feeling (or a conscience). Perhaps I should harden up, share the goods and fuck indiscriminately as some here do but.....that's not me. Perhaps I should be less fussy and stop selecting exquisite men but....I like quality over quantity. Ho hum. Enjoying this post and is, as always; another thought provoking topic. Thanks KarenB it's helping to put a few things back into perspective. Lol just need to bring more of the "man" in me out. I love the intimacy and being free to say/do what I want. I lack this in my marriage sooooo I guess I need to connect emotionally and physically. Sometimes I wish it was more a case of fuck you and forget you.

    Why is it so easy to maintain the distance with some people...and then not with others?   Meaning, over the past few years i've had lovers that it's been lovely having them in my life while it lasted....and then when it was over, not a backward glance.   Then BAMN!...someone ccomes along that you get really attached to.   What makes some connections hard to ignore and others entirely forgetable?   Do you run when you meet that one that you know is a danger to your peace of mind, or do you embrace that experience, knowing the danger is that you are going to become too attached?

    Depends on where you are in life and how hurt you have been in the past. Some people run from emotional attachments. For me I say go for it, you only live once and what is so scary about love? Both men and women want intimacy and emotional attachments. The difference is the expectations around what this means and where it's all supposed to lead. Women seem to feel that it has to lead somewhere. Start hearing wedding bells or what ever. Hellen I love my FWB... Doesn't mean I want him every day although maybe if he was free I would think differently?!? Who knows, but I do know I love my independence and my sense of freedom, kind of like having it all. :D

    to answer "Do you run when you meet that one that you know is a danger to your peace of mind, or do you embrace that experience, knowing the danger is that you are going to become too attached?"The conflict between embrace and run is strong, but at the moment I just want to embrace everything as I'm at that stage in my life where I want to grab every "feel good" experience and run with it.Having said that, after I confessed he was in my "unsafe box" where I knew I could fall for him if I wasn't careful, we went to bed as normal, I woke up before him, packed quickly and quietly and left him still snoring away...and my God does he snore, but that's another subject :)I have never done a runner before, ever - I just felt incredibly embarrassed by putting myself out there and felt rejected somehow, I'm not sure how, because I wasn't. It was just very apparent the emotional "connection" was on my side only.I have since apologised and explained why and I do feel ashamed for leaving like that and he did admit it stung :(The only way I can explain the attachment or connection with some and not others is that if we are a jigsaw puzzle with 1000's of pieces and many still missing, now and again someone comes along who plonks one into place and it feels good.Others come along and the pieces they have, well we have already filled those, so when we wave goodbye there is nothing lost, it's just thanks for the fun.

    I'm with each of you on this, insofar as I can't as On_Safari says, I can't fuck without feeling, I leave feeling hollow, as though I've wasted both of our time when we could be doing something more fulfilling. I dont' want wedding bells as Meeka alluded to, but I do want commitment - a commintment to treat each other decently,with respect, trust and honesty. On occasion, I've attached quickly before, I don't quite know what it is that creates that, there can be such an electricity, an intensity that can become addictive; maybe that's what we chase, that rush of emotion... being valued by another to the extent that both feel the release of endorphin or whatever it may be...

Intensity is a beautiful and strangely addictive thing! Doesn't it make you feel good!

    that's the word I was searching for... Intensity... love that rush of adrenelin that comes with a new experience, no-one knows the potential... I think we've all experienced hurt from a lover before, and hopefully we won't again; but that shouldn't stop us embracing the possibility. As you said Karyn " Better to have experienced it than not". Me, I'll take the experience thanks... make it a double. Happy Friday everyone! K
