Physical intimacy includes various kinds of physical connection — not just sex. There are various layers to physical intimacy, demonstrated in the figure below by Dr. Doug Rosenau. In Dr. Rosenau's color-coded system, each color or layer represents various physical aspects of intimate relating. Together, these types of physical intimacy can lend themselves to a caring, loving, and trustworthy relationship.

Type 1: Bonding Intimacy (Green)

At the base of Dr. Rosenau's pyramid is the Green layer, which represents bonding intimacy. Bonding intimacy is the expressing of feelings; connecting behaviors such as:

a hand on the shoulder

a hug

looking into another's eyes

listening intently

Bonding intimacy not only happens with spouses; it is what happens between friends and family. This type of intimacy—often referred to as fellowship—is what occurs on Sundays at church as we express warmth and love to brothers and sisters of the faith.

Type 2: Coupling Intimacy (Purple)

The next level of intimacy is coded Purple for passion. Filled with the excitement and desire for touch, coupling intimacy includes:

kissing

cuddling

making out

romantic feelings

hand holding

sensual touch

flirting

These types of behaviors are not done with just anyone. They express intentional movement toward an exclusive relationship of dating or engagement.

Type 3: Sexual Intimacy (Orange)

The third category for intimacy is colored Orange for sexual intimacy and called igniting passion. This includes all other forms of green and purple intimacy with the added layers of:

genital touching

intercourse

the full sexual experience

In Christian circles, Orange intimacy is reserved for the marital relationship. And though intercourse is the ultimate symbol for intimate relating, sex should not be the only expression of physical intimacy. As depicted in Dr. Rosenau's figure, sexual intimacy is built on the foundation of the bonding and coupling types of physical connecting. Thus, true physical intimacy in marriage includes all forms of physical connection, including hand-holding, looking into your spouse's eyes, hugs, listening intently, expressing warmth, kissing, flirting, romance, etc. Without the Green and the Purple types of physical connection, the sexual connection can be lacking in the intimacy for which it is designed.

Two Bed Bugs

Shortlist of bed bug predators are:

Of the ants listed above, many ant experts conclude that pharaoh ants are one of the most likely ants to target and feed upon bed bugs. One possible, minor benefit provided by these predators is their presence, which could serve to “give away”, pinpoint or draw attention to places where bed bugs are hiding. Note: It is important to know that generally insects feed on bed bugs when the bed bug population is very large and do not assist to any large degree with the management of bed bug populations.

Masked Bed Bug Hunter:

Let’s look into the masked bed bug hunter a bit more since it seems its common name might create some interest. Reduvius personatus is a non-native insect that was accidentally brought into the United States and since their introduction has dispersed to many states within the country. Inside homes, they are nocturnal feeders and the masked hunter nymphs cover themselves with house dust, lint and bits of insect parts, which they glue to their bodies. Thus, homeowners rarely, if ever will see a masked hunter – a good thing since they will bite if mishandled or they sense the need to defend themselves.
