I've been thinking about this one for a while, and I think that sex has the most capacity for intimacy, which I'm defining as close, unspoken personal connection with another human being. That's not to say that kissing can't be more intimate than some sexual encounters. For instance, I felt more intimate kissing my wife when we first started dating than I ever did while fucking the brains out of some skank I picked up in a bar and never called again (yes, I've been that guy). That's one of the reason I married her and will almost certainly never cheat on her.
