Intimacy is not just about sex, it is the needs or desire to let others get close to you or connect with others emotionally, physically, and intellectually. That is, emotionally, you can share with your partner your innermost thoughts and vulnerability; physically, you are able to be affectionate with each other, including everything from hugging to holding hands to kissing to cuddling to sex; and intellectually, you like to exchange ideas and thoughts about what care about.
People with fear of intimacy are anxious about or afraid of intimate relationships. They may believe that they do not deserve love or support from others, they may have fear of revealing deep feelings, uncomfortable discussing relationship issues, fear of a committed long-term relationship; they may feel uneasy showing affection to a partner, some may avoid physical intimacy particularly physical touch and sex, some may fear close emotional connection with others. Fear of intimacy could be based on social anxiety, attachment issues, fear of abandonment, fear of engulfment, or complicated past events. It could damage your relationship and lead to depression and anxiety.
