Our favorite, some of our favorite content. And so we get to go deeper into it today. I'm going to start off by kind of defining the differences and the similarities of these things using a bit of a Venn diagram analogy here or visual. Keep in mind that all of this content that I'm about to say here is from our Building Better Relationships course. In module three, lesson two, there's an actual lesson called sex and intimacy. And this is all available in our coaching collection. So if you like what we're talking about here, definitely recommend go check that out. Okay, so sex and intimacy are used interchangeably, but they're in fact not the same thing. So I want you to imagine a Venn diagram. That's those two circles with a little bit of overlaps. So you could have intimacy without sex and you could have sex without intimacy. Or you could have sexual intimacy, which is the part of the circles that overlap. Now sex pretty clearly cut is a physical act. It can be intimate, but it does not have to be. It's a relational experience, yes, but not necessarily an intimate experience. Okay, so that's sex. Intimacy is I describe it as a feeling more than anything. Not all intimacy is sexual, nor is it even physical necessarily. And I describe intimacy as a feeling of being safe, comfortable and emotionally connected with another human being. And then that overlap, this part where the two circles overlap is sexual intimacy. So this is the kind of sex that is also intimate. Or you can say it's the kind of intimacy that includes sex. Now here's the thing I want to get through it everyone here. All of these are valid, right? They're all great things. The question is really, which one are you craving and which one is right for you? So sex without intimacy might look like casual sex, anonymous sex, random hookups, that kind of thing.
