Thats a really odd statement to me : p
Like, I dont at all in any way see the two being one. I mean like, physical relations is merely a biological function. I mean yeah theres a right way and a wrong way to do it, of course I am well aware of that : p But other than that it is just a biological function. I never understand why anyone considers this to be "love" or "what a relationship is about" or any of that.
I mean, you could do it with anyone. Or even with no one at all.
Im not trying to pick on anyone here, I just never understand why people put these two things together : p
I dont think of physical relations when I think of having an intimate relationship. The first thing that comes to my mind is like.... gotta think of a way to word my thoughts here..... like, a deep and personal best friend. Someone that you invite to learn everything about you, and are willing to learn everything about them, like someone you share everything with, and want to spend every day with. I dont believe physical relations are a must in order to have this.
Maybe Im alone in that way of thinking though : p
