One of the most exciting things about getting back together with an ex is the intimacy that follows. Depending on how long you’ve been broken up, there could be a whole slew of different types of intimacy to correspond to the whole slew of emotions you have regarding the breakup and the getting back together process. But, no matter how long you’ve been apart, there are 10 types of intimacy that every couple experiences when they get back together again.
- Anxious ‘I Can’t Believe This Is Happening’ intimacy This romp is usually the first intimate encounter you have that will lead to getting back together. Whether you’ve randomly run into each other at a party or bar or you’ve decided to meet up to either talk or get your favorite t-shirt back, something happens and you find yourselves going at it like two crazed, hungry animals. It’s anxious, it’s confusing, it’s dirty, and at one point one of you actually says, “I can’t believe this is happening!”
- Passionate ‘I Missed You So Much’ intimacy When you’ve been apart and the love-making was good, really good, it’s hard not to have that “I miss you so much” love-making that’s so full of passion it feels as though it’s been ripped from an Anais Nin scene. In fact, it’s so passionate that it actually transcends how awesome you remember it to be, taking you both to a whole other stratosphere – one that you’re not likely to reach again.
- Angry ‘You F@$king A-Hole’ intimacy If you broke up, it was for a reason. Even if that reason was you, as humans, we love to pass the buck and blame anyone but us. This, of course, leads to angry love-making – the type of intimacy where you both walk away from it feeling not just incredibly satisfied, but with some battle wounds, too, like hickeys and bite marks.
- Romantic ‘Let’s Never Break Up Again’ intimacy Oh, love. You loved them once, you never stopped loving them, and now here you are again, wrapped in each other’s arms making – dare I say it? – love. Oh, the romance of it all.
- Comfortable ‘This Is The Way It’s Supposed To Be’ intimacy Even if you’ve been apart for years, some things never change. This is where the comfortable intimacy comes in as everything comes flooding back: where they like to be touched, how they touch you, and why it just always made sense. It really is like coming home and, yes, one of you is bound to say, “This is the way it’s supposed to be.”
- Hate ‘I Can’t Believe You Did XYZ’ intimacy Not too different from angry love-making is hateful love-making. While angry love-making is all about screwing while blaming your partner for being a jerk, hateful love-making is all about calling them out on all the things they did that were wrong. It’s the type of intimacy where mid-peaking you just might call out, “I can’t believe you slept with my best friend in our bed on my birthday!” You know, if that happened.
- Spicy ‘Let’s Never Let Ourselves Get Bored Again’ intimacy Although boredom isn’t always to blame for a breakup, if you and your partner fear that may have been the issue, you might find yourself having spicy intimacy in an effort to, well, keep things spicy. It will definitely start out passionate, but before it’s over you’ve both had things in places you never thought you would and your partner will finally be able to say that he now understands why prostate massagers exist.
- OMG ‘It’s Just Like The Very First Time’ intimacy Oh, wow! Everything is so new! So the same, but so new! It’s like you’re being touched for the very first time! Oh, wow, wow, wow! Or at least that’s what you’ll tell yourself to forget about the fact that getting back together just might have been a bit of a mistake.
- Uncontrollable ‘Just Tear My Undies Off’ intimacy This is the intimacy you’re bound to have with your partner more often than any other when you first get back together. Not only is it the type you’ll be having the most, but you’ll be having it everywhere and anywhere, and the proof of that will be in your underwear drawer – whereby the end of the month, you’ll have so few underwear left that it will be time to replenish before your “uncontrollable ‘just tear my undies off’” love-making can continue.
- Emotional ‘I Love You So Much’ intimacy Of all the types of intimacy you’ll be having with your ex when you get back together, this will be the one you won’t discuss or even share with friends. It’s far more intense than the romantic love-making and, thanks to all those emotions, it’s likely to involve some tears. Hence the reason no one really talks about it. It’s one thing to be in love and “make love,” but it’s a whole other thing to cry your way through it.
