But now you've moved away from the *deep* connection and "love" context of your original tweet, which was what prompted my response. A "purely intellectual" connection is not, to many, what counts as deep. Likewise/esp. when the potential is there for sex. Standards, not shallow.

Intellectual and emotional was what I said. Both of those things can make deep connections and the deepest of all is when both exist. Sexual attraction is not deep.
-
Maybe sex is that way *for you*. There's a world full of people out there that doesn't think so. They aren't shallow or lacking in emotional depth, either.
-
You can consider me to lack sexual depth if you like. That would be fair. However, I will continue to consider people who cannot comprehend strong emotional connections which aren't sexual to lack emotional depth.
-
If they can't comprehend at all, sure. But if they just don't think the connections you are talking about count as deep *enough* to be "deep connection" or "love" (perhaps because sex is much larger for them), then they just are pickier about what counts there, not lacking depth.

This is getting both silly & tedious now. If there are people who can't see any emotional or intellectual connection as deep unless they're also sticking their dick in the person, yes, they lack emotional depth. Marriage also likely to fail in old age.

I've slept with one person for 18 years. I have deep intellectual and emotional connections with many other people, male and female. I pity anyone who doesn't or doesn't see these as a deep connection coz no sex. They miss out on so much.
-
Again you move away from the original context (where there is sexual potential) and again, you make the fallacious assumption that higher standards = missing out. A marriage can and does stale, and sex is often a culprit. And a deep marriage is unlikely to become one w/o the sex
