Thank you for writing this! I understand what you're talking about with intimate connection and how troublesome communication can be at times. Authentic connection is something which I've striven for too, and found, on many occasions--bonus points if it's all with the same individual. And sometimes intimacy doesn't have to involve sex, and can be even better than just sex alone.
Yes... especially me, being so literal and at-face-value, I've always had a tendency to misinterpret normal interaction as some type of intimacy. I find eye contact very intimate. This makes actual non-sexual intimacy just as good as the physical gyrations!
