About this ebook
""Intimacy Codes"" explores how cultural norms profoundly shape our understanding and practice of intimacy, revealing that what's considered loving or connected in one culture can be misinterpreted or even offensive in another.
The book challenges the notion of intimacy as a universal constant, arguing instead that it's a social construct influenced by cultural values, historical contexts, and social expectations.
For example, displays of affection, communication styles, and even concepts of romantic partnership vary significantly across cultures.
