Does Intimacy Exist Anymore?

Is Purity in an intimate relationship real? Can it be attained? And if so, through what means?


  • Love is cheap.

    In a world where whores are a dime a dozen, causal sex is widely accepted, and fourteen year old children post pictures of places most people hide on nude beaches, is it possible that intimacy has become so cheap that it is unattainable in this world? Possible, but here I raise an issue that may be startling and inveribly upsetting to some readers, proceed with caution. Many anchient spiritual leaders and belief systems believed that during sexual activity, two souls actually merged and became one, thier auras became one, thier minds and bodies were one being. Now, such a thing is so commonly discussed and done that it seems to loose some of that spiritual and intimaste appeal. Now, the great majority of cultures have believed, and acureately so, that blood is life. Many cultures have also believed that blood housed the soul, or at least, one of the souls. It is my theory that in a society where love is so cheap, a more in-depth approach at intimacy is needed. The sharing of blood to be precise. I theorize that such a daring and deeply personal thing could greatly hieghten the bond between souls, creating an intimacy before unknown... Vampirism is highly taboo but, at the same time, who can deny they are quite a sex symbol, and many have yearned for such a thing. I believe that this is on account of the lack of respect our culture has for love. And in a monogamous relationship, vampirism could actually serve to create a better and more intimate relationship. (I know. I've tried it. Not only is it an amazing high, but the bond is instantaneously different, and better.) What is anyone else's ideas on the subject?

    I find it fairly easy to switch from genuine affectionate intimacy with a stronger meaning and more casual feelings of closeness and enjoyment. It's more in the mind than anything else.

    As for the vampirism thing...well, if that's your thing and you find someone that goes for it, then by all means. I can only assume if you've been doing it that its safe, so have at it. I don't really see it as the solution for society however. If it became standard practice everyone loved it I'd probably become as "mundane" as well. You merely say "The sharing of feet" or other things you don't normally do could add to the intimacy, and if it's your thing it very well could. But you could also slut around with these things as well.

    I think it's just in how you feel with the person.

    Intimacy exists on different levels you seem a very passionate person so your needs will be greater than the next persons. I know what your saying about society but I think we have always been this way, people need to act out in different ways to satisfy their own levels of needed intimacy. Sadly our behaviour has not evolved much in the last few thousand years its just the surroundings that have changed.

    Is the feet and blood thing also about building up levels of trust if so I agree this could be a good thing but it’s also risky as it could back fire with the wrong person.

  • masturbation

    What you have described about ancient sexual/spiritual belief systems is just spiritual masturbation. Spiritual wanking is no different to any other wanking. Its not intimacy, its just another ego trip.
