The Art of Intimacy: Introduction

I’ve been putting this two-part blog off for a very long time, and the more I keep bottling my thoughts in, the more I want to elaborate on this topic. SEX; it’s the most controversial topic amongst many people right next to politics, abortion, religion, and human rights. If you’re a Christian, you would know that at a young age, you were often taught the rule of waiting until you’re married to engage in full sexual activity.  I would like to go ahead and elaborate on this topic not to just focus on sex, but to focus more so on intimacy. We’re often conflicted on this subject in various ways mainly because we’re unsure of how to become more intimate in our relationships. What is intimacy? Webster’s dictionary states that “it’s the state of being intimate”, but when we think of being intimate, we start to think more so on being intimate with our partners in bed.  Intimacy isn’t just sex, but it is a process for accepting our self, others, and our mind. Intimacy is a process that grows, as well as being intimate with those around you.

           Many life & relationship experts have different views, points, and meanings on what intimacy truly means, but I want to go ahead and point out some of my key topics that will be used in this blog series.

Part One: Intimacy

Self –Intimacy: How can we become more intimate with our self, loving our self, and accepting our self.

Intimacy with Children: The fascination of affection and nourishment we often show to a child. What the moment really means to become very close to your child.
           
Relationship Intimacy
            Discussing the main components; Emotional, Intellectual, Spiritual, Physical, and Sexual side to grow your relationship beyond the cycles of a relationship.

Spiritual Intimacy
            Speaking from a biblical perspective, how we ought to get closer to God himself.  Discussing the fact in which he designed Intimacy for our spiritual nourishment.

PART TWO: Sex Education

Sex -Education
            Schools don’t fully teach on this subject unless of course it’s human anatomy, or sexually transmitted diseases. This I focus more so on the development of a child’s mind and body, also discussing why sex education is an important topic.            

Stereotypes, Society, College and Pornography
            As a sequel to the last topic leading to the next, this talks about how society preaches Intimacy in a negative way. A way to ignore the propaganda, but be aware of looking at things a different way. This is where the youth comes in the matter.

Sexual Intimacy
            This will focus mainly towards the group of non-marriage couples, pre-marital couples, teens, young Christians, and young adults. I also want to inform in a sense that “sex” isn’t truly bad thing, but the way it is often abused, is the reason why people think it’s bad.

Sex and Christianity
            This completes the reason why it’s one of the few controversial subjects in society. With that said, I will debunk some myths about it, yet give an elaborate meaning on what Sex and The Bible talk about.

Intimacy Techniques
            This section, I will talk about some techniques regarding on how to improve intimacy levels all together. I will also talk about ways couples can increase Intimacy whether in the relationship, or the bedroom.  This will be a wrap-up of short exercises.


Stay posted for the first chapter of this series. Like I said, this blog will be very exhaustive.
