I don't think proximity has anything to do w/ intimacy. There is a closeness during oral b/c your mouth is right there but oral sex has never intimate for me and climax has nothing to do w/ intimacy either (girl or guy).

Girls go down on guys b/c it is a step that leads to sex, it is often times expected--no chick feels intimate after she has a load hanging off her chin or gurgling it around their mouth. Going down on a chick is often times done after sex has been performed at least once b/c guys don't take their time w/ chicks they are unfamiliar or semi-familiar w/.
