Sex, Passion, Love: The Triangle of Intimacy

By Dr. Daniel Sadigh  

 

Sex, Passion, Love

"Four times a week sex is not enough for me and my wife thinks it's too much...."; "for the last eight years my husband has slept in a different room and we have not had intercourse ...."; "I feel my girl-friend rejects me, especially when I spoon her in bed...."; "my sex life is a joke... I never get satisfied as my boy-friend gets what he wants and I feel used..."; "how do you expect me to stay faithful if she has not slept with me in six months...;"any time my husband starts massaging my back I tense up.... I know where he's headed without considering what I feel".  

 

I hear these complaints and many more detailed ones on a daily basis. They are all legitimate concerns that most people do not know how to deal with. Valentine's Day symbolizes a need for attention to our intimate relationships; let's face the issue of intimacy with more openness and awareness. After all we are conceived by an intimate mixed act of sex, passion, and love. We are also pro-creators in the same way.

 

The most common problems in intimate relationships are: no desire, low desire, and too much desire. Desire is a sense of longing for a person or object, or hoping for an outcome that induces pleasure. Once pleasure is not gained and the level of mutual desires are unmatched, the resulting lack of satisfaction causes anger, frustration, emotional alienation, inadequacy, promiscuity, extramarital affairs, divorce, and in general different kinds of stress or emotional instability. In order to understand how a mutual level of desire is manifested and how you can find a relative state of harmony with your partner, let's look at what I have simplified as The Triangle of Intimacy. The three parameters of this triangle are: Sex, Passion, and Love:

 

Sex

 

Sex is primarily a physical interaction: A biological organism behaves in a certain innate manner by combining and mixing of genetic traits, for reproductive purposes. In different species such coupling act takes different forms. In human beings, over many thousands of years of civilization, sex has evolved in a socially and morally managed manner, which at times feels against the original nature of it. As men and women we have learned to control sexual urges and...Read more...

LOVE Every Day 
Love Tree

 

Cupid strikes again! Valentine's Day is upon us and the frenzy over what to do, where to go, and what to get the love of your life is in full force! Feb 14 is a day set aside for you to show someone one how much you care; how do you do that in one day? Is buying chocolate or red roses enough? Or do we go for the big ones: jewelry, a night out in town and...you get the picture! What happens Feb 15, or Feb 12? Do we stop showing our love? For me Valentine's Day is just way too overrated! I celebrate love every day. I have to admit when I was in my early twenties I made a big deal over this special day, I expected the works! Some years I was pleasantly surprised, and most years I set myself up for big disappointment. The roller coaster of being loved was too much too handle! Whether you're in a relationship, married or single, this set holiday puts too much pressure on everybody. Don't cave in; this is another contrived day to make you buy stuff! But can you really buy love?

 

I was fortunate to find the love of my life, my soul-mate, at an early age. Being married for many years has thought me that spontaneity in a relationship is much more rewarding, fun and romantic than celebrating any set holiday. Romance is meeting an unspoken desire; it's about focusing on and studying one another. It means YOU are in my mind and heart and I am not distracted by other things.  It means that surprise kiss on the back of your neck when you are doing the dishes; it means a wink and a whisper of "I love you" when no one else is looking.

 

So go ahead, show your love; not only to your mate, but to everyone around you. Do it now! Tell your assistant how much you appreciate what she/he does for you; pick up the phone and call your mom; text you kids and tell them they mean the world to you; bring an apple pie to your neighbor. Give gratitude, be sensitive, listen empathically, communicate effectively, and love passionately. BE LOVE every day.


To LOVE, everyday!

Bonnie Sadigh, CEO
