Intimacy and Indian Dating Culture

Intimacy is an essential ingredient in any romantic relationship. It encompasses not just physical attraction and closeness but also emotional connection and deep understanding.

When it comes to dating, Indians have become more open and accepting of different lifestyles and perspectives in recent times. However, intimacy is still considered to be a taboo topic. One of the biggest questions that many people struggle with is figuring out when the right time is to get intimate. It's not a topic that many are comfortable discussing openly.

With so many different opinions on when it's appropriate to get physical, it can be hard to know what's the right choice for you and the person you're dating. The good news is that there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to getting intimate with someone. It's a decision you make together, based on what feels right for both of you.

We understand starting a conversation about intimacy can be a daunting task for anyone, especially when dating. Keep in mind that this is not just an uncomfortable topic for you, but for your partner as well. However, it’s a crucial conversation to have in any relationship, and the good news is that it doesn’t have to be stressful or awkward. With a little bit of humour and flirting, you can make the conversation flow smoothly.

It's essential to also remember that your partner can't read your mind, and if you're not ready (had food that smells or have just returned from the toilet to preference of body hygiene), it's crucial to communicate this to them. Not doing so can make them feel rejected, which no one enjoys. You would agree that the more you avoid postponing the discussion, the more the white elephant will grow in the room.

Creating an open and honest dialogue about intimacy will allow you to build a secure emotional connection. It is crucial to be mindful not to judge your partner if they have never experienced intimacy before. If they have a looming fear, do your best to make them feel comfortable, humour can be a saviour in such situations.

It's also important not to judge your partner's sexual drive. If it comes to a point where it's a dealbreaker, it's best to discuss it.

Finally, physical intimacy does not necessarily equate to exclusivity. One of the most common misconceptions about physical intimacy is that it confirms exclusivity in a relationship. However, this couldn't be further from the truth. To truly know if you and your partner are exclusive, it's important to have an open and honest conversation about where the relationship is heading.

With the right mindset, discussing intimacy can be liberating and bring you closer together.
