I believe sex isnʼt the most intimate thing, conversation is. If I give you my body, I can take it back. But if I give you my thoughts, you walk away with a real piece of me. You walk away with whatʼs under my skin. You walk away with what I am intimate with myself about.

to be known in this way is to be undressed, not in body, but in mind. it’s the kind of intimacy that lingers far longer than touch. and maybe this is the great paradox of intellectual seduction: we long for the mind because it is unknowable . the body can be mapped, claimed, exhausted. the mind is infinite.

can intellectual intimacy replace physical desire?
