Intimate Fun

Intimate Fun is a private kind of fun, a kind of fun that takes place between people who are having fun together, very deeply together. We experience it as kids playing together in some secret playground. We experience it as young lovers. We experience it as people who have been married for 40 years.

Here's part of what I wrote about it:

"I am increasingly amazed at how other each of us is. How other you are. And how other I seem to be when I’m with you. I’ve been focusing especially on how other we both are when we are having fun, and even more especially how other we are when we are having fun together.

Like how, when we’re laughing together, it's as if there's another being laughing with us. Another will. A will not totally in our control.

There’s something very personal about this being we create, something intimate about this kind of fun.

Intimate Fun: the joyous being that we create by our being joyous together: the WE that we become when we are having fun together. The Tickled WE."
