A relationship of intimacy between two people may be thought of as existing independent of the first five ways of time structuring: withdrawal, pastimes, activities, rituals, and games. It is based on the acceptance by both people of the I’m OK – You’re OK position. It rests, literally, in an accepting love where defensive time structuring is made unnecessary. Intimacy is a game-free relationship, since goals are not ulterior. Intimacy is made possible in a situation where the absence of fear makes possible the fullness of perception, where beauty can be seen apart from the utility, where possessiveness is made unnecessary by the reality of possession.
