Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The text defines intimacy as "the experience of closeness that occurs in a relationship, including feelings of connection and bonding." This goes beyond sexual contact and also includes emotional and psychological closeness, as well as a sense of shared experiences and mutual understanding. While commitment and interaction may be aspects of an intimate relationship, they are not equivalent to intimacy itself.
