Despite films like Friends with Benefits, most of us don’t want to make out with friends. Emotional intimacy can actually hinder passion between the sheets. The couples who have the best relationships often have the worst sex lives as the wonderful intimacy often obliterates desire by completely neutralizing sexual chemistry, says Jack Morin, author of The Erotic Mind. If intimacy increases even further, friendship finds it way in place of sexual passion.
Morin is in the forefront of exploring why closeness destroys, rather than enhances sex. The reason is that we find separateness far more attractive and bond better if we see our partners as individuals rather than one-half of ourselves. Simply put, genuine closeness turns out to be a turn off.
