First one, absolutely. The second one gets old fast.
I find intimacy with someone I know to be more fulfilling. We’ve bonded so intimacy will only further that.
Someone I deeply know and trust.
The former is more fulfilling because that’s what I want deep down. That being said, the latter is potentially more fun/exciting. Just depends on what you’re looking for between fulfilment or fun/exceitment.
I enjoy both, but deep intimacy with a partner is better. Casual sex is exciting and boost your confidence. Partner intimacy is comforting and beautiful. A bit of a copout, but I choose both.
Why must we choose?
Casual sex gets incredibly boring after a while.
The joy of a deep and intimate relationship that you both build together is absolutely the best. No contest, no runner-up. Learning to kindle that excitement in that relationship is so much more fulfilling than running to something else for a fleeting and empty feeling.
Intimacy with trust yes. Fantasising in your head about Casual connections with stranger also yes.
As you get older you crave knowing people who you trust completely. I have no interest in causal acquaintance.
