If a woman is traumatized after her rape is there any hope that she’ll eventually learn to cope with it? Is there any chance of her returning to normal? Is she ruined as far as intimacy is concerned with no baggage? Will things ever be the same?
Is she damaged too far beyond repair? Should I just give up on this lost cause?

I’m wondering in a typical relationship about how long it takes to move from the different levels of intimacy. I know it different for everyone, obviously, but just on average. Like, how soon after starting to date do most people kiss, make out, do dry humping, have oral sex, have sex, etc. Just your opinion, or personal experience

Franklin Theodore Roosevelt, known for his promiscuity, bought his mistress some pearls that were harbored by a local jeweler in Washington, and he took her out on "a date" which he said "will live in intimacy".

Okay, I understand that, but why tell it to a joint session of Congress?

Democrats make no sense.

its it a physical thing? Emotional thing? Is it something women can only get it from other women and many get repulsed by having intimacy from a man and it feels natural to get it from another woman?

Yikes why is the word "intimacy" used ? Of course people say we don’t mean that literally
hmm well ok then what do people mean by this then
no preaching please and no off topic scripture that’s questio irrelevant
thanks

Maybe it just seems that way to me. It seems like sex can bring up personal issues, including some that seem unrelated to intimacy or the the relationship.

Do many people crave or desire intimacy with different ethnicities and races? Is it because people are curious? I admit I do, and can’t explain why, but as a guy I would like to be intimate with women of all races at some time, as I find it interesing; even though I’m sure it feels the same since we’re all human. Thanks

If your husband always initiated intimacy by asking, "Down the hatch, or up the snatch?", how would you feel? Do you think it would have a long term effect on your long-term well being as a couple?
