    The crucial difference between romantopia and intimatopia is that in intimatopia, intimacy is normally established before sexual interaction and is always maintained after it, whereas in romantopia, it is only established by sexual interaction and is frequently transitory.

    Lovers in intimatopia are more than “just good friends” but also more than “just lovers” – the emotional, physical and spiritual bond between them is complex and multilayered (Woledge 102).

    In opposition to romantopia and intimatopia and their respective romance and intimacy foci, paratopia’s interest in the fantastic is more radical.

词源

Blend of intimate + utopia; originally coined by literary scholar Elizabeth Woledge in her essay "Intimatopia: genre intersections between slash and the mainstream" (2006) to describe the setting in a certain subset of slash fiction.
