Physical and emotional intimacy plays a significant role in a romantic relationship. This involves not only the physical aspects but also the sharing of personal thoughts, fears, and dreams.
I choose to write ‘closed-door’ romances, preferring to concentrate on the emotional buildup between the main characters.
Nothing against spicy novels, but sometimes I find the constant emphasis on the physical takes away from the story and can make the emotional intimacy unbelievable.
Which do you prefer? The physical, or the emotional?
