I think the level of physical intimacy has some, but not all, to do with that feeling of obligation. I've tried being physically intimate in a casual way with folks, and at different levels (sex, makeouts, cuddling) and unless I have a long, established history of mutual communication and respected boundaries, high physical attraction, and a long non-physical lead up during which I can make sure my feelings are consistent, it doesn't work.
