I Need Emotional Intimacy

Would you rather have no physical intimacy or no true love?
Good question. Life can be lived without either. In the context of the question, the real question is which one is the greater loss. Personally, honestly, I can be indifferent to both. There is a vast variety of love and physical intimacy. However, nothing is better or greater than the love I have for myself and my Creator. Since I have transcended this reality spiritually and very comfortable with it, I would have to say that agape love is the most important. Physically love is only an extension of primal love. The most base type of love.

@RenaissanceMan Physical intimacy means nothing if it's not true love.
@Madeleine In general, most do not care about that connection. The meaning is also subjective.

True love. But intimacy helps maintain that love through a special bonding between the two.

I would choose true love, but it's a difficult question for sure.
Been living without both for awhile now.

I dont believe in true love. So I guess that can go.

I have connections with several people that I would call love but we live too far apart to be physically intimate. At one time we were. At my age now the plumbing doesn't work anyway so it doesn't matter

@Tastyfrzz The question is can emotional love replace the physical?
Tastyfrzz · 61-69, M
Yes

Neither if I can’t have both.

. We only kissed once before she died of cancer but she said,"if you asked, I'd say yes".

@Tastyfrzz She's beautiful.

@Madeleine she was very nice. She was my morning, noon, and night. She had four kids. Their dad had run off years before. I took care of two of them for several years after she died.

@Madeleine Mk to Kristi “You are my morning, my day, and my night. I love you so much it hurts. I
wish I could take the chemo for you. That would only be fair. But life's not fair. So for
now all I can do is hold you in my arms and my dreams."

What a beautiful message Mark. I love you too, and you mean
everything to me as well. I would never want you to take my chemo for
me though, you already do so so much for me and for my kidlings.
Thank you so much for being there, especially when I am down and
feeling awful and ugly. It means everything that you don't seem to
mind when I'm looking a fright and feeling sorry for myself. It means
everything when you don't criticize my kids but you try to help and
encourage me and suggest what might work and tell me what you think
isn't working (Josh always sleeping with me)! You don't give up on
K.C. and Josh even when they are totally impossible and acting like
selfish brats and telling you what to do. You are just patient and
kind and they can really learn from that, even though they have a ways
to go. I love them so much and you appreciate that and I appreciate
that you appreciate that (?!!) You notice every little detail about
my life and take on stuff that I constantly procrastinate about. You
make me want to be responsible about things which i never before felt
like being responsible about. Like taking care of that will! You
make doing these things so much easier for me and I really do love you
for it. I will be forever grateful for all this and for YOU.

Can´t think on true love between a woman and a man without at least the DESIRE of physical intimacy and being COMPLICES about.🤔

@Greenbare Makes sense.

True love without physical intimacy is no true love. 😐️

After three decades of wastage, now I only care of a good bang.
No physical intimacy.
