Best Answer

Holden does not shun all intimacy. He only shuns sexual intimacy. As much as he thinks the contrary, he is very immature, innocent, and compassionate as a character. Holden doesn't respond to Sunny's advances (if that is what you're referring to with this question) because he mentions how young she looks and begins to feel bad for her. He also as a direct consequence of his innocence does not want to have sex.
