So the older I get the more I understand relationships and love. I've realized that intimacy hasn't a thing to do with sex. As a matter of fact... the most intimate I've ever been was having a candid conversation with Mr. Amazing. When you think about it all intimacy is is seeing into another person. Now some may take that to mean literally (and 9 months later here comes a baby) but I take this to mean so much more. INTO ME SEE is the ultimate form of intimacy. I believe that having this level of intimacy will eventually lead to mind blowing sex but not because you're so horny you can't see straight (although I'll admit to being in that predicament too) but because you're so "into" the person that you're with that you're willing to give your all for their pleasure.
Which leads me to this:
I think sex before marriage (or at the very least a committed relationship) is a bad idea. Simply put it blurs the intimacy lines. For example, say you are dating "so and so" and you have sex after two weeks of dating (or two days... you know how we can be as people). While it may start off as "damn that was good" imagine what happens when you're bored. What happens when you're mad at each other (make up sex much?) I said all that to say, when you have a foundation that's based on intimacy and NOT sex you'll always have that to fall back on. Next to communication, intimacy is the most important part of a relationship. Without the two you may as well hang it up and not waste your time.
What are some more ways you can be intimate? I welcome your ideas.

Walks in the city...around monuments in the moonlight. I prefer warmer days, but chilly ones make for great scenery as well.
