"Trying these phrases on for size" suggests to me...:

I'm inclined to say that, for me, intimacy and relationship are inherently 
good.  Meaning -- I always feel that they've benefitted or enhanced or improved 
or pleased me.

Whereas I don't feel that way about sex.  I don't always feel benefitted, 
enhanced, improved or pleased by sex.  Perhaps the fault is with me.  At any 
rate, I don't blame the sex.

Very likely different people react to sex differently.  Perhaps sex always 
benefits you (is "inherently good").

Even intimacy and relationships can be distressing, at times.

Here's my main challenge.  Try these phrases on for size:

"I don't know that I would say that sex was "inherently good". It's just sex."

"I don't know that I would say that intimacy was "inherently good". It's just
intimacy."

"I don't know that I would say that relationships are "inherently good". They
are just relationships."
