Kissing....by that I mean real, saliva exchanging, open mouth kissing. I don't know about men

but for this woman, intercourse
can seem at times to be robotic.

But there is something about using the face when interacting with another person, that seems more intimate to me....it involves all 5 senses I guess.
Intercourse might be more of a bodily violation....but kissing more intimate imo.
