353. What Is The Difference Between Sex And Sexual Intimacy?

When people hear the word "intimacy," they often think of sex — but there's a big difference between the two. In this episode of the Ultimate Intimacy Podcast, we break down what sets sexual intimacy apart from just sex and why it matters so much in your marriage.

Sex can be purely physical — a moment of pleasure without deeper emotional connection. Sexual intimacy, on the other hand, is about closeness, vulnerability, and feeling truly connected to your spouse — both emotionally and physically.

We’ll discuss how building sexual intimacy can lead to better communication, deeper trust, and a stronger bond. It’s about creating moments that leave you feeling loved, desired, and emotionally fulfilled — not just checking a box.

If you’ve ever felt like something’s missing in your intimate life or want to create deeper passion and connection with your spouse, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn how shifting your focus from “just sex” to true sexual intimacy can transform your relationship!
