Does becoming physically intimate with someone mean having sex with them? How does having sex bring two people closer together within a relationship?
My boyfriend & I have been taking things slow for the last few months. We both want to take things further physically. Would becoming physically intimate help bring us closer together in our relationship?

yes but only if he is truly interested in you because if he is not and you do in his eyes there is nothing new in the relationship to look forward to so think about it once you do there is nothing more for him ot look forward to

I think a lot of people mistake intimacy for sex. Being intimate means so much more than that. Knowing someone deeper. I would say taking it slow is a good thing and I definitely wouldnt rush the sex issue. Sex adds more emotion to the relationship especially for a female. It may not be an attachment you want to have right now. Make sure this is someone you really want to have sex with. I don't think it will necessarily make your relationship better. Maybe for the moment, but how long will that last?

Physical intimacy includes both sensuous and sexual activity usually between two persons and the sharing of reactions, thoughts, and emotions that are involved in these activities.
Actually, physical intimacy includes a wide range of behavior. Everything from hand holding to all day love-making. It includes a broad range of physical contact such as:
foreplay or non-coital sexual activity
bathing together
pleasuring
caressing each other’s body
sexual intercourse
the afterglow (e.g., the tender words that are exchanged after sexual activity)
Sex is not the only element of the closeness in the relation and should be only result of relation not the reason for it.

it can bring you closer together but it can also be complicated and to become physically intimate does not necisarily mean that u have to have sex with him i mean there is cuddling, kissing, and fondling that can all come before sex and if u are uncomfortable with sex yet then just keep it at the four play level and see where it goes from there

what brings to people closer together is not about having sex. its being able to talk to each other, trust one another, that's if your a mature enough person. and you can be intimate, with out having sex.

if you feel you two are ready for the next step which is called sex.... you should go for it.... make sure that you feel that you are really ready for it and for the possible concequences that come with it..... also by having sex this might get thinngs all mixed up and might casue the relationship to end.... it's best to sit down with your partner and find out what you two are really looking for also make sure that the both of you voice your opinons about the subject before you two do anything furture .....

Sex is like going to the movies, out to dinner or a walk. It's just another fun activity. Society places too much negative attention towards sex. I guess there is a good reason though...STD's and pregnancy.
Always use protection...Always.

Girl i have the same problem. My boyfriend told me that having sex would bring both of us together. What I think about it is that if you guys are BOTH ready than it's okay. But if one of you have insecurities than don't do it. And if you do it wear a condom!

It may or it may not. Doesnt sound like to me that you are ready or you would not be wondering. If the two of you love one another then sex is not going to change things one way or another, until you are his babies momma. Even with protection you, yes even you, can get pregnant.
