Mary writes: “I’ve chosen to talk about intimacy because so many people misunderstand it, I think. Often, people think intimacy means sex and I see it as having a much deeper meaning than that. In fact, I think of sex as one strategy to meet one’s need for intimacy, and, like all needs, there are many more ways to meet this important need.”
