I'm curious as to which you consider to be more intimate; Oral, Vaginal, Anal or Kissing?
Intimacy, goes beyond all that... Intimacy to me is the knowing the other person, their moods their quirks, a touch of a hand, the brushing of her lock of hair flying in the wind... Intimacy is being in a crowded room and the only person that you see is each other. being comfortable in silence, knowing when to share a laugh, or hold him, or cradle her. To be able to guide one another in the same path... Intimacy, is what lacks in most relationships now a day. If I crave anything from being by myself, is intimacy more than sex...
I would have to choose anal intercourse. It's a very forbidden and not openly discussed sexual act. It truly takes trust and intimacy to allow a man to penetrate you anally. It's the ultimate act of giving one's self to a man. Just knowing that it is very , feeling it penetrate in and slowly pull out, the naughtiness behind what is happening, him holding you and groping your body from behind is just a very passionate and intimate endeavor.
It's more the circumstances than the act it's self.
I don't equate intimacy with which orifice is being used.
Intimacy is understanding and respect in my humble opinion. Holding hands can be incredibly intimate, more so than sex or kissing.

I like Chicamala's and PrincessC's answers. But I think you're asking which physical act seems to require the most trust and acceptance of your partner, and for me, it's letting my partner tongue-fuck my ass. That takes a lot of comfort-zone intimacy, which is somewhat different from emotional intimacy.
Intimacy can be as simple as a text in the middle of the day for no reason other than needing contact. Or a refilled cup of coffee. Or listening to the days drama as if it is just as important to you as it is to them. A paid escort will give you oral, vaginal, anal and a kiss. Just my thoughts.
Kissing is the most intimate by far.
I have had sex oral, vaginal, and anal with men I hardly know. On a few occassions even with men I didn't much like if I was desperate for a fuck.
But kissing is very intimate and I only do it with men and women I like.
Kissing would possible be the most intimate. Kissing with my gf it is definitely the most passionate.
Oral would follow and then vaginal.
Anal is anything but intimate to me.
While I understand the philosophical responses to the original question, and agree with them 100%, I figure I'll just play into OP wanting a sexual answer: Kissing. Like the ladies above me, when I'm making out with my girl I am just over the moon. It's all about the intensity and intimacy and just the general "wow" factor. I like to think I could get off with anybody where the other options are concerned, but when it comes to kissing, only my girl will do.
While I agree with others here that intimacy has more to do with the people involved and the feelings, etc... I do think there's a certain level of intimacy that's higher with some acts than with others.
To me, kissing is very intimate, and personal. My Dom and I have occasionally been with other girls together...and I have no prob at all watching him bang another woman...but kiss her? The green eyed monster comes alive within me. I don't want him to kiss other women.
I think oral (on a woman...so ahead and judge me or call me anti feminist if you want lol) can very intimate as well.
I'd say anal next...then vaginal last. Not that it's 'not' intimate, that's just my ranking and my opinion.

Check out my latest story: Drawn to Addy - Part 2 Anal for sure. I don't let just any one night stand fuck me anally, that's what fwb are for, and yes, fwb's do have intimate sex.
For me kissing is by far the most intimate act!! I can kiss for hours.
Honestly, for me, it depends on the partner. With how I feel for them, that is going to control what I find to be more intimate.
Even the most classy and expensive Escorts who will do most anything for the right price.
Still are reluctant to kiss a John. Much too Personal and Intimate.
