I agree that a deep conversation can be just as intimate as sex. My bf and I have the most amazing conversations...they started when we first began seeing each other. We'd stay up all night, just talking....we always seemed so shocked when the sun came up!
It's amazing the things you'll talk about @ 5am.... We had such good conversations and learned so much about each other, our relationship moved forward quickly.
And when my bf says "Sorry, can we continue this tomorrow?", I admit I get a bit bummed. He goes out of town every other month and our conversations on the phone are short & sweet. Not much deep thought going on...mostly "How was your day? Can't wait to see you again." He makes up for it when he gets home though. He gives me his undivided attention and we catch up for the week.
