Can you have intimacy without love?

If I were to base to the definition of intimacy, I guess you can't have intimacy without love. It says "Intimate relationships consist of the people that we are attracted to, whom we like and love, romantic and sexual relationships, and those whom we marry and provide and receive emotional and personal support from. Intimate relationships provide people with a social network of people that provide strong emotional attachments and fulfill our universal need of belonging and the need to be cared for."

It is clear that if you have to have an intimate relationship, there should be love involved or if there is no love then I think that individual is only after of other things that one possesses. There have been many people that we thought have been doing this though we cannot really judge them but their acts have seemed to clearly define their intentions.

Love and intimacy are interrelated. The depth and stability of the relationship depends on being able to forget the little things in life, and keep the love and intimacy alive! Source: todays-intimate-couple.com/romantic-love....

If intimacy is closeness I doubt you can have it without love. IF you are defining it as sex, then of course you can.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
