Intimate connections, both short-lived and long-term, are a crucial part of human existence. We might be highly evolved primates, but we are primates nonetheless. Our primate origin brains are wired to crave community and intimate, sensual connection in a context of trust and safety.
Sensual intimacy excites specific parts of our brains in important ways and brings optimism. It brings a sense purpose, peace and fulfillment and can actually help us live longer.
Yet finding sensual intimacy in our modern society is hard to do. We regard nudity, sensuality and sexuality as something taboo. Not to be discussed. Dirty. Our media reinforces that. Writers of the shows we watch use sex like violence - a simple go to tool to add instant drama and jolt the audience. How exceedingly rare is it to see beautiful, intimate moments depicted on screen.
The various dating and connection apps so widely used today have helped some find intimacy, but only heightened the sense of isolation for most.
We label sensual exploration outside a committed couple as a violation of trust. For many, if not most couples, physical intimacy and sensual exploration wanes and then ends entirely over the years, and yet we make no room for new practices that may ignite the missing spark or for exploration with others outside the couple that could actually serve to make the relationship more resilient.
