Which act is more intimate? Kiss or interourse?

[neoteric]

I've heard some prostitutes don't kiss their customers. So I wondered why--is that because they think kissing is more intimate act? What do you think? and Why?

Kissing, definitely more intimate than sex. kissing, cuddling foreplay totally expressing love is the intimate journey that leads to Destination sex act. Prostitutes are not interested in th love part. (so I've heard.) Well they want cash for gash and 'next please'. Recently, this century, I've heard that kissing IS becoming available, at a higher price than straight sex. :-]

How do you know all that, Xyzzy? ;-)

Oh - gimme a bus, a kiss, a snog every time......far more erotic and intimate than the sexual act (not that I'd sya no.....).

At it's most basic and clinical level sex is little more then a reproductive act designed to propagate the species or an itch to be scratched, all else is just trimmings. So I would have to say kissing is the more intimate act.

Don't confuse the two...we don't need to kiss to have sex, so why pay for it? Call me cheap!

I knew I was doing something wrong; I'm giving it away for free! Kissing that is! Well, practise makes perfect. Agree with all the above comments though - kissing is definitely the more intimate act.
