Geez, if I couldn't have sex with a partner for some reason, I am really thinking I'd need intense cuddling, at least. I really, really love the intensity of that. In any case, at the very least, I crave an intense physical connection if I am emotionally involved (which is wee bit silly for me to say, as I can't think of any time in my life when I wasn't pretty intensly "emotionally involved" w/a partner I truly cared a lot about). It doesn't necessarily have to be frequent, or immediate, but if I am intensely attracted I will crave a physical connect, or at least the thought of one. I am always "emotionally involved". There may have been times, that, for one reason or other, it has not been acted on, but if I really love, or even intensely like, someone, I am definitely "emotionally involved", as far as feeling passionate about them, and wanting the best for them, and thinking a lot about them (whether they are aware of it, or not). *Although, I seem to have these weird moments, or weeks, where I just retreat into myself, and I still haven't quite figured that out - except I think it has to do with having a need for solitude, occasionally, and also guarding myself against possibly being hurt, and becoming "too intense" w/someone else, and it can scare me a little when I do that, even if I think I know why. Also, unless I really know someone else really well, I am not always convinced it's going to be great for them, either, for me to be ultra-intense. I will say, though, that if I have to choose between sex, and having an intense emotional connection w/someone, then I choose the emotional connection, hands-down, and having one is very important to me - but I think having both things at once, in one relationship, is absolutely ideal. - Susan
