That's a hard question to answer because it varies from person to person. For me, I'm very open and comfortable with myself and my body. So intimacy for me isn't difficult. I think having the patience to take my time and really slow down is the toughest part for me because I'm so Dominant and assertive. With others, they don't want to feel vulnerable, they may not know HOW to be intimate, their partner may be apprehensive towards intimacy or a person may not be psychologically ready for it. I feel you have to know yourself really well before you can open yourself to another being in that way. Also, to make them feel comfortable enough with themselves to be able to let go in that way. Once you do, its powerful stuff man.
Excellent answer.
It’s awkward at times in the beginning from my experience
I always give you good advice from my experience in life since I am a bit older and yes it can be a little anxiety with physical intimacy
You are good
Thanks and thanks for MHO
Emotional intimacy is scary because then you open yourself up to be judged off what you've experienced. You never know quite how someone will react. I was abused for years and often when I tell someone I'm with that it's almost like my showing the pain of that situation makes them uncomfortable and feels like rejection.
As for physical intimacy, you're in a very vulnerable state when you get physically intimate with someone. You open yourself up to be ridiculed or gossiped about among men and their friends... or worse hurt physically during the act.
Both require certain levels of trust and some trust more easily than others.
Best answer so far.
Probably because it requires being in a vulnerable state physically and emotionally. Relationships are deepened by opening up to one another. That’s how you know a person better and love someone for who they truly are. Also, sexual intimacy requires revealing your body and it’s flaws so you might feel shy about it and worry that the other person might not find you attractive. Plus, the act of sex is a team effort. You might be self-conscious about the quality of your performance.
A spot-on answer.
Wow, that’s good to know. Thanks 😊

Because as soon as you let someone in and let yourself go, someone can throw you under the bus or take advantage of you being vulnerable
You shouldn't block me, because I have cookies.

Your good. I've already blocked all friends anyways
For me, its just because i dont wanna feel stupid afterwards. I dont want to end up having been used and having given it to the wrong person... again
I think intimacy is the scariest part of a relationship because to really be intimate with someone to have to open yourself up and allow yourself to be vulnerable. When you do that, you also open yourself up to getting hurt. However, intimacy is also the best part.
That‘s like Reading a new Chapter of a Book, you don‘t know what’s coming next. Is it going to be good? Would he Think i‘m Strange if I do this or that? That‘s exploring a new territory together
Because it involves the highest level of unbridled intimacy.
Emotional intimacy, we’re too afraid to be vulnerable cause it’ll give the other person too much power over us..
Physical intimacy, cause we all have our own insecurities also some people don’t like to be physically intimate even if it’s just cuddles if they haven’t let the person close enough to their heart.. which could be hard because of the first point I made..
Cause y'all sleeping with people you hardly know. Rushing into it way too quick.
If you've truly developed that platonic, friendly RS first, sleeping with the person isn't so terrifying as you make it out to be lol.
I don't sleep with people I hardly know, and honestly I wouldn't sleep not even with people I know. Even with my fiancée, many times I'd prefer to keep our relationship wholesome.
Sorry if this came out wrong - never meant to direct the statement at you. Just a general statement lol.
I understand.
If you are really good at something, in my case, cunnilingus, there is nothing to fear.
When they realize it is coming, they serve their figa to you like a waitress and then the roles reverse and you give them exquisite pleasure. Buon appetito!
Engaged? Become expert at cunnilingus to have a happy wife.
As long as she's happy, that's all what matters. I just lie down disgusted with myself.
I don’t usually find that to be true, but there are exceptions, like if I feel depressed or anxious
Because you may or may not be compatible with each other. I dated someone a few years ago this guys was really hot and I was so in love with him but the sex part kinda sucked. I never really enjoyed having sex with him.
It isn’t.
For me it is opening up.
I mean intimacy can be both physical and emotional.
I actually didn't think that it was.
Cause usually we freak out when we're nude and people see us. That person is the first one you, I guess, get naked for, so ya bit of nervousness. And if you happen to be insecure about something, I bet the nerves skyrocket
Do you get nervous in such cases as well? 🤔
@scooogy Nope, I'm just thinking of why people get nervous
Because your not ready yet or because your not confident enough to been seen naked.
Because TRU intimacy is NOT a sexual thing. It means really getting into the mind, heart and soul of your fiancee (in your case). Being this open and vulnerable is the scary part- the sex is relatively easy.
Maybe it's because I get into her mind, heart and soul that makes it terrifying to me.
oops * TRUE I think we are ALL afraid of what we might find "in there".
Because it leaves us vulnerable and exposed.
The scariest part is them discovering I'm messed up and not in a fun way.
LMAO. A cat scared of a pussy. That's hilarious.
Actually, I don't know what's more funny. That, or the fact that it looks like Chester Cheeto.
Eh, it's not so funny when you have to deal with that actually
Oh. Sorry, man.
Please don't block me. My comment wasn't directed towards you. I was just focused on the stuffed animal.
What? No it's not. It's one of the most exciting parts.
For some people it is.
Is it for you?
For me it's terrifying at times.
