Whoever has missed this has never lived, who lives for it alone is but partly alive. By Cyril Connolly Provide Mutually Fulfilled Sexual Union

In terms of intimacy, folding laundry together or sharing the feeding of a child can have more impact than the most extravagant bouquet. By Antonella Gambotto-Burke Intimacy Kind Kinds Delirious Sex
