I've read people love photography as an outlet for intimacy. They say it creates an emotional bond with a subject and a photograph helps preserve the memory of that connection, forever.
It's an abstract way of feeling intimately connected. Does anyone feel this way about other "abstract" mediums?
As to concretely widen your expression of intimacy;
Polyamory Quote:

Many people believe that a person who has multiple loves can't give their "whole heart" to any person. The belief goes that if you love one person, you can express your love wholeheartedly, but if you love multiple people, your love is divided up and is therefore not as deep. This is based on the "starvation model" of love--that is, you only have a limited amount of love, and if you give your love to one person, there is none left to give to anyone else--so if you fall in love with another person, you have to "pay" for it by withdrawing your love from the first person.

Funny how he uses Steve Pavlina-like term, "Starvation Model".
