I think so... Im not all that excited about sex anymore, but companionship is nice. I've always noticed that the desire for sex with a partner deminishes as time goes on, but the love is still there. Some people watch porn together so that doesn't happen to them. I say take the pressure off ladies ! Were not machines ! hahahaha !
Yes, older senior couples don't get it on much, at least I don't think they do. And they sure love the hell out of each other. There's nothin cooler than a couple that's been together for 30 years plus and are still best friends. |

No it cannot last-
But intimacy is more than just sex. It is all the little things that you do through out the day to let someone know they are important to you. The kisses, little unexpected notes, long glances, compliments, words of encouragement. Cooking together, hugs touches, bubblebaths... I think some people forget about the little things and get hung up on the sex. I believe when you love some one from sun up in all the little ways the "making love" just comes naturally. |

Take you are talking about physical intimacy. Think it depends upon the people. If that is the only thing the relationship is based upon...then no. If it is based upon emotional intimacy...then yes. I was going to say, as much as I love the sexual intimacy of a relationship, it's the emotional intimacy that makes or breaks a relationship, not sex. Lack of sexual intimacy, except for medical or physiological reasons, usual is a result of the lack of emotional intimacy one feels with a mate, not the other way around. |

My bad... your right ! I immediately assumed we were talkin about sexual intimacy. OOPS !

Can a relationship last if there's no intimacy? No way. You need some spark and passion, some chemistry, just not as intense as in infatuation. |

Can a relationship last if there's no intimacy? Not for me...there needs to be physical, mental, emotional intamacy. I'd also agree with this statement. |

I have found that most men my age can't rock and roll like they used to and then feel like they are "less than". As much as I can, and like to still rock and roll, I don't want my relationship based upon that foremost as things do tend to slow down. And frankly, I don't want anything to do with cold sex like porn. That's not intimate to me. |

depends on the definition of intimacy isn't it?
perhaps there are different phases of intimacy as we get older. I wouldn't know if old people have sex or not, but they must be since the drug companies are making a killing selling viagra and cialis. In the beginning, definitely, hourly, or even perhaps every 10 min. LOL. Later, we strive for the moment and quality. Don't know what happens at old age :-) Can intimacy mean holding hands or hugging? Not necessarily penetrations? |

Depends on the type of intimacy we are talking about.
You usually need a little bit of both emotional and physical to make relationships work. Too much or too little of one can break a relationship if not handled properly and quickly. Some people don't need as much physical intimacy as emotional or vise versa. |
