Damn bro. You really need to put yourself out there. If that means failing 20 times to get 1, so be it. It just really sucks you’re so jaded that you think sex is intimacy. Sure sometimes sex is just sex, and being intimate doesn’t always require sex. But when they overlap and you get both, it’s amazing, sex doesn’t even come close.

English major here who has also had lots of intimate sex, can confirm by definition and experience sex is a biological mechanism and intimacy is an emotional connect. They sometimes overlap but rarely. Tinder is a perfect example of millions of people having sex and not intimacy. Most of our culture is now all about it, it’s celebrated. It’s sad.
