Welcome back to the question of the week! This week we have a three part question all about intimacy. Intimacy is something special that we find in different ways. We can see intimacy everywhere, it seems to be something far more than just human nature. Just look at a pile of cats snuggling, or dogs licking and cleaning each other. Intimacy is of course not just about sex, and it doesn’t have to involve touch... so what is it to you!?
In these times of COVID19 it feels like intimacy is something far more scarce than it ever was.. at least for us humans... and maybe that is more the case for those of us who live alone. Perhaps things are more intimate for you if you are with someone and spend more time together than you used to. Perhaps you have found other ways to find intimacy. Does it need to involve touch? Can we feel close and intimate with another person at 2 meters distance? Perhaps you have found ways to nurture it?
Our need for intimacy differs depending on who we are. Maybe you don’t need it and are quite happy being more solitary. Maybe virtual or online connections are enough to make you happy? Or maybe you truly value intimacy and have discovered interesting and novel ways to keep it in your life? Maybe you have not let COVID19 change your ways and are just as intimate with others then you always were..
This is a special topic that i think is worth looking into. We are on the cusp of great changes, and the very definition of intimacy may well be changing faster than we think. The advent of virtual intimacy and even robotic sex partners is just on the horizon, and could replace human intimacy as we have always known it. Before we give it up it is worth inquiring what it means to us, and really identifying how important it is! If we are not careful we may lose something that has been human nature forever.
I look forward to reading your responses, and as always feel free to expand or focus on a particular part of this question that resonates with you. Our world headed in an entirely new direction, and it is up to us individually to be aware of these changes and what it may mean for our primal human nature.
