There are so many "definitions" of intimacy and honestly I'm quite dissatisfied with Merriam Webster's definition:  'the state of being intimate' or 'something of a personal or private nature.'  I don't really know why everything has to be so specifically defined when it is so subjective.  Pour moi, to be intimate with yourself or within other relationships encompasses so much more than the physical.  In this chat of "hi talks" with Herb, we discuss how we view intimacy and why it could be different for everyone.  It's really all about understanding and acknowledging your own love language.  Enjoy!
