What does intimacy actually mean in a relationship? Is it emotional connection, physical touch, or something deeper?

In this episode of Spicy Spectrum, I sit down with licensed marriage and family therapist and certified sex therapist Keri Green, LMFT, to unpack one of the most misunderstood topics in modern relationships.

We talk about why couples often confuse sex with intimacy, why people struggle to talk about desire and fantasies, and how curiosity and communication can completely shift the dynamic between partners.

I also connect this conversation to my Substack series What He’s Thinking, where I share insights based on what men reveal privately about connection, vulnerability, and physical desire.
