Intimacy-driven describes someone who places a strong value on sexual connection, physical closeness, and erotic chemistry. People high in this trait may experience sexuality as an important part of feeling alive, bonded, desired, or emotionally connected. They may feel that attraction and physical intimacy are central parts of romantic life.

At its best, this trait can show up as passion, openness, sensuality, and the ability to connect through desire as well as affection. At its extreme, it can become overprioritizing sexual validation, confusing intensity with compatibility, or feeling disconnected when physical closeness is not available.

A recognizable fictional example is Samantha Jones from Sex and the City. She represents someone who is direct, confident, and unapologetic about sexuality as a major part of her identity and relationships.
