Intimacy comes from emotional attachment. Sex is entertainment. Conflating sex and intimacy is just the church's teachings coming out. The most intimate moments I've ever shared have not been sexual. The best, most mind blowingly, holy crap I never knew anything could be that awesome sex I've ever had was with people I had no emotional bond with.
Keep putting sex on some kind of pedestal. You'll likely wind up disappointed.
And please don't mis-quote me. I didn't say it "simply becomes sport," I said it should be "considered a sport."
