Probably would if I experienced some.

You got that right..lol

I can't remember.

Yes it does and that's why I'm falling apart .....

Dude, keep working at it!

2

It sure does. Not that I can't live fine without - but I would certainly be real happy to have some - like... now. <grin>

2

It would, heaps, if ever I got any.
I do get physical intimacy once or twice a month, but have not been emotionally intimate with someone for many years, into decades now.

2

Very yes !!!

2

I guess it would if I was intimate with anyone

2

Emotional intimacy, absolutely -- and physical intimacy, only if the emotional component is also involved.

2

That's what the research says anyway.

2

Certainly

2

Sex does indeed, even if DIY.

2

Of course it does. There is much research to that effect.

2

When I am in a relationship.

2

Sure. But it takes time to really get to know someone. I'm pretty hard to get to know. So it's great to have in your life but intimacy is work.

2

Yes for sure

2

I believe that intimacy is necessary for all of us to have empathy for one another.

Yes, and it would be even better if there was a woman involved.

1

Sex? Yes.

1

I wouldn't call it a hindrance.

No bout adoubt it. Anything that reminds and reinforces a sense of connection... For me that makes life worth living.

Yes; I wonder, though, which is more powerful - the positive benefits of intimacy, or the negative benefits of its absence. I suspect the latter.

You bet it does...and then some.
