What does lack of intimacy do to a person?
Physical and emotional intimacy go hand in hand: for a long-standing relationship, you can’t create a physical connection without inducing emotional intimacy. Lacking emotional intimacy whilst the physical connection is thriving can develop complications with trust, anger, frustration and confusion for couples.
What does lack of intimacy do to a marriage?
Often, the lack of intimacy is the reason partners feel emotionally abandoned and lose interest or desire for sex leading to “inhibited sexual desire.” The fear of intimacy can cause partners to be emotionally unavailable and lead to an endless dance of pursuit and distancing.
