The aim of a physical encounter between two lovers is to create the conditions so that love can continue and further expand when the two are not physically connected anymore.
The physical encounter is a symbolic representation of a real encounter, which takes place at the soul level.
If we are not able to surrender to the embrace of our lovers when they are not physically present, then any physical encounter we have with them is useless.
