I think modern culture probably exaggerates the intimacy of these other two thing, and there are more biological reasons why we're predisposed to feeling these acts should be intimate.

I can understand defecation being a more private affair, its not exactly hygienic by even the most bassist of standards to crap where you eat or sleep, many animals don't even do that. So I think the natural instinct to not befoul one/other's living area and leave and do it else where leads to it being a bit more private.

For sex, I don't know, maybe there's a competition reason for doing it in privacy.
