In our third episode of Erotic Renaissance, Meg invites Alexis (@rawrealfaces ) to start our conversation about and to redefine "intimacy." After Alexis introduces herself and her mission, Meg provides a brief linguistic and historical background of the word "intimacy," which has been stunted theoretically. Alexis is then offered Meg's working definition for "intimacy" and is invited over the course of the conversation to help rework this definition. This working definition will be expected to evolve over the course of the year as guests join in to converse and theorize about the topic, redefining it together alongside the listeners of Erotic Renaissance. Alexis and Meg then turn towards the differences they see between sex and intimacy. They provide examples of each before exploring the acts of intimacy (other than intercourse) that each of them would like to participate in alongside their partner(s) in the future. They then turn towards the definition once again before Alexis provides some suggestions for reworking / theorizing in future episodes.You can catch them cooking together, modeling an act of building intimacy on Instagram.Where to find your Linguist of Love:http://linguistoflove.comInstagram: @linguistoflovePatreonOnlyFansSOURCES:Oxford Definition | Definition of IntimacyThought Co | Historical Reference for 1830-1840Google Ngram Viewer | Use of the Word "Intimacy"Support the showSupport the Podcast LINGUISTOFLOVE.COM Instagram | @LINGUISTOFLOVE Venmo | @LINGUISTOFLOVE Cash App | @LINGUISTOFLOVE Top Podcast SupportersStella Lux CreationsDiscreetGuru
