BINGO! Too many of use are equating intimacy and sex. My wife and I are constantly hugging, cuddling, and just enjoying each other's company but we haven't had intercourse for probably 10 years now - and we haven't missed that part of our lives at all. At our age it's just not something we NEED to do anymore. Next year we will be celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary and both of us will tell anyone who asks that we are more in love with each other now than we were on our wedding day!
