Orgasms come and go - excuse the pun - but intimacy is constant and abiding between two people who know and love each other.
Intimacy is a state of mind that transcends the physical. It's a feeling that comes from knowing and loving your partner, and it can't be attained purely by physical stimulation. You don't need to love someone to have an orgasm, but it's impossible to be truly intimate with someone unless you have love, or at least great liking, for one other.
Intimacy comes from shared experience, and profound knowledge of each other. Intimacy is connecting and sharing on a level much deeper than mere physical sensation. It can be conveyed in a thought, a look, the lightest of touches. It's knowing what your loved one needs, sometimes before they even know it themselves.
