Contrary to popular opinion, words are not the mainstay of intimacy. The most profoundly fulfilling intimacies for adults are those that are the rooted in the body and are similar to the primal needs we were born with: Empathic Touch, Eye Contact, and Kissing [suckling]. I think of these as the ABCs of a deep intimacy-a primal intimacy-the sine qua non of loving, sensual sex.

Romance is a critical factor in maintaining sexual desire in an intimate relationship and a
part of our erotic nature. Research shows that how two people look at each other, talk to each other, even bob and sway with each other are all implicit triggers, intricately woven into the sex drive that can stimulate erotic interest, focus, and arousal.
