Sex is categorically not "uniquely intimate". A stimulating conversation about a subject you're both passionate about is a far more intimate thing that a drunken bar bathroom hookup.
That kind of magical thinking is the problem. It's an incredibly slippery and not very long slope from "sex is a magical and unique form of human interaction" to "daughters are property of their fathers until they are sold and become property of their husbands".
