Is "partner" an intimate relationship?

A partner can be a form of intimacy, but it is not necessarily a "substitute". The relationship between partners can be similar to that of friends, and two people establish intimate relationships while enjoying each other's sexual pleasure.

The relationship between partners does not need to communicate and exchange like lovers, and establish a stable emotional bond. In other words, partnership is a pure exchange of physical pleasure rather than an intimate relationship of mutual support and support.

Therefore, partnership can meet the individual's emotional and physical needs to a certain extent, but it cannot support and accompany each other emotionally and spiritually. Only on the basis of establishing a close relationship based on real mutual understanding and support can people get more comprehensive and healthy growth and development.
