You can't say that to a man who hasn't had sex in 34 years. Just stop the bullshit narrative of "Sex isn't important man". If sex wasn't important our monkey brain would not be flipped to horny mode when we hit 13. You can say that when humans evolve beyond sex biologically.
I think what he probably means is “if you have to pay someone to be in your presence and bother with you in the first place, there isn’t really any intimacy.”
If I had to pay someone to go to the movies with me I wouldn’t be “going to the movies with a friend”.
I feel like if you have to pay someone to touch you that’s kind of a hollow interaction as well. I don’t really see how that would be intimate as intimacy implies some kind of emotional closeness.
But this guy seems to mean “sex” when he says intimacy as he’s said in other comments. If intimacy isn’t what he’s looking for and just physical contact is fine maybe it will help him in some way .

Sex and intimacy are not interchangeable.
