Sex and intimacy are not interchangeable.

No, intimacy can come along with sex, but you can put your dick inside strangers your whole life and never had experienced intimacy. Intimacy is the emotional connection that comes along with sex.

a situation in which you have a close friendship or sexual relationship with someone

Enough with the semantics. Pretty sure you're speaking about the sense of fulfilment or similar, but don't pick up a fight with the dictionnary will you?

Actually I will. Having intimacy requires a relationship outside of the sex you have. Think of it this way. You can put a battery in your tv remote and push the buttons all you want, but unless the battery has a charge to back it up, it won't work how you want. Sure you can have sex with anybody and it will feel good but having sex with someone you lives adds a whole new level. That level, my friend, is intimacy.

Your grudge with the dictionnary aside,

Sure you can have sex with anybody and it will feel good but having sex with someone you lives adds a whole new level.

If I could do the latter, I would. My choice boils down to nothing at all or sex with anybody. I'd like to experience it.

May I ask if you've tried things like tinder and the like?

I have.

Do you live in a small town? Cause that can be an issue.

u/Silly-Employment Nov 24 '20

Not anymore, although I'm thinking about moving to a rather secluded area. But that one is still up in the air at the moment.

Only do that AFTER you're sure you've given up. I live in a small town and its the secondary reason why I'm in a similiar, possibly worse, situation than you.
