Lesbian Relationships - More intimate than heterosexual relationships?

Yes yes yes yes yes! I really do honestly think that lesbian relationships are indeed more intimate than heterosexual ones. Just because you're both girls, and you have a HUGE emotional bond. And when you have someone bonding with you the same you're bonding with them, it's just so, passionate. So, you always wanna be with them. You always wanna be touching them. You always want them to know you're theirs. It's a crazy thing, really. I love it more than anything in the world!

There's no way of knowing which gender is truly more aggressive than the other when it comes to relationships (lesbian, gay, transsexual, straight, or bisexual) and its impossible to be 100% sure when it comes to the studies that record data from others, because people are not always honest when comes down to it. This is a very tender subject and people are not always eager to discuss matters of partner abuse or to report it to authorities. While it the study may be very accurate, it has also been shown that woman tend to be more open about more tender subjects than most men, because most men don't like to admit they've been beaten up by their partner (male or female) and taking this into consideration, its nearly impossible to be certain that everyone is telling the truth (unless of course we add security cameras all around them or have someone follow them 24/7, but that wouldn't work for obvious reasons) So while this study may be accurate its almost impossible to tell whether its true or not, and if its true and homosexual women tend to be more violent than homosexual men, than there is some reasons why this could be (verbal disagreements that turn physical, mood swings, pms etc)

I haven't felt this way because I have never been in a relationship with a woman but I know people more intimate same-sex relationships than heterosexual relationships. I think it has a lot to do with how women think. Men can be complete morons at times but women know what women want. Maybe that is why your relationship is more intimate. I wish I were inclined towards women too because I really do believe that women are more fun to hang out with and they are not scared to be vulnerable when they are feeling low unlike guys who brood alone.

Lucky you =) Good luck with everything!

I have recently discovered that I am most likely either a lesbian or bisexual and have not dated yet, so I cannot entirely relate yet until I have. Although, from what I have read in articles on the Internet and other sources written by other lesbians, I have noticed that they speak of it being much more intimate and I can understand why given the realization of the true, deep emotional connections that a woman can develop with another person, even more intensified when combined with another woman's.

The only serious relationship I was in was with a girl and she was my first girlfriend. We connected so well and honestly I could have spent my life with her. Which unfortunately made it hard for me to see anyone else after we broke up. She was my first and only girlfriend. Enjoy her company, they're the best

as a lesbian, who has been with men, i would say yes this is true. however, i think it has more to do with the fact that you are now who you are suppose to be with and also that your with the right sex for you. it's hard to achieve a deep bond w/ someone when your with the wrong sex or w/ the wrong person. when i was with men, they wre all great. had good sex. it wasn't like it was AWFUL being in the relationships with them. but when i realized i was gay and started dating women, i was like..'ooooooohhhhhhh. so THIS is what it's all about.' i was floored at how i felt. i was excited, passionate, and felt so comfortable and bonded w/ my gf than i ever had with anyone---physically and emotionally. good luck to you!!!

Yes, I feel this way right now. And I believe they are more intimate.

I believe that a lesbian (or bisexual) relationship is built on more friendship and emotional bonds then sex and things like that. Females, I reckon, understand each other better and have a better understanding for how they're feeling.

Women get often very jealous and want to own you, I like and dislike this thing. Maybe it`s intimate, maybe just unsureness. Sex with woman is very passionately, I love how women makes me wanted and keeps saying me compliments.

Lesbian relationships are of course the best ones, how could anyone think anything else.:-)

I wouldn't say that they are ALL closer, it really sounds like you found that person that you can connect with. I don't think it has anything to do with men vs women, gay vs. straight or anything like that. You find someone you can bond with, talk to, cuddle with and everything feels better. I was with men for years and never had anything close to what I have with my girlfriend, but I see straight couples that have the same thing. You just found a winner my dear. Congrats! Its not as easy as it sounds.

Best of luck to you girls :-)

Women are powerful beings...it doesn't surprise me that two women may share a deeper bond. That being said, don't assume all heterosexual or gay relationships somehow lack a deep bond.
