THREE STYLES OF INTIMACY
By understanding your current style of intimate relationship, you can understand the next step you need to take. Which of the three styles is most like your current or recent relationship, Dependence, 50/50, or Intimate Communion?
What is intimacy
Each of these three styles is also a stage that you can grow through, if you are willing to be lovingly humorous about your own patterns in intimacy.
1. Dependence Relationship
“Men are men and women are women.”
In the imaginary video, were you viewing a man and a woman in the abandoned throes of sexual ecstasy, or was the man subjugating, biting, and penetrating the woman against her will? In a Dependence Relationship, sex and power are often painfully mixed up; partners often confused some version of the master/slave relationship with real love. They are engaged in some kind of power play. In a Dependence Relationship, one partner often needs to feel in control while the other partner often gives up his or her authentic power in order to feel loved and accepted.
