The Value of Intimacy
It’s the bond that occurs when two people are open with each other and share their feelings, thoughts, fears, and desires.
When a guy is fighting depression, intimate relationships can really suffer. Depression messes with our confidence, can cause difficulties around sexual performance, and may lead us to isolate ourselves from others. So it can be pretty hard to bring our best game to the table when it comes to intimate relationships.
We can turn things around though. Researchers have found that building better intimacy in a relationship – which includes sex – can actually ward off depression.[1]
