What does being intimately sexually mean?

Intimate and sexual are typically confused to be the same or similar thing. Intimate is actually a Word that describes an action between you and one or more other people that may not have anything to do with a sexual encounter. You can be intimate with your sister because you can share you most personal thoughts or ideas with her. Being intimate with your sister does NOT mean you are sexual with her despite common misconceptions. Now if you say someone is "sexually intimate" with someone, then this puts me in mind of a more sentimental sexual experience rather than a hollow experience.
