The kiss is a great example! If you look strictly at the action, then yes, they are the same. John kissed Teyla. John kissed Elizabeth. But when looked at the context, they are completely different. In the context, John kissed Teyla because his inibitions were lowered. In context, an alien kissed an alien and it was not even John and Elizabeth kissing. Not exactly comparable, LOL! And then of course, there are all the things you mentioned! The build-up, with the sexual tension with the sparring vs working on a mission. The setting, a private, very physical moment vs a group moment, trying to uncover a new mystery and having absolutely nothing to do with sexuality or tension. The aftermath, a new awareness of each other, an acknowlegment that he is "John" when they are off the clock, the deliberate build-up of tension and exhaling of pent up breath. Awkward, embarrassment with new awareness vs shrinking down and trying to hide embarrassment, not making eye contact, and brushing it off like it never happened because technically, it never did. It plain wasn't them. Humiliation tension instead of sexual tension. I could go on and on. 
Well, I'll jump on this. John never kissed Weir. John never initiated and never responded (alien or human) so it definitely doesn't count. There was nothing romantic there, John was a zombie...and he fit the role well, since Thalen was Phoebus' enemy, so he'd never respond to her actions.
It's similar to Teer, he never really initiated it, but he responded to it. You can see the difference between John/Teer and the John-Thalen/Weir-Phoebus kiss. Similar actions but John's reactions were ultimately very different. Now compare that to John/Chaya who John did initiate the kiss much like he did with Teyla. John was with Teyla under the influence but we know what his instincts wanted. He wanted Teyla and I guess he gets highly aroused when they try to kick each other's asses. Plus there could have been that long term frustration coming out, what's interesting is Teyla's response. And if you pay attention---Teyla responds in kind.
Now as for Chaya, she used him; much like the Phoenix uses Jean Grey, he provided something she missed. Sex, was all I was thinking. He wanted some companionship and she's hot. So she responds, albeit tentatively at first, but John did it.
All in all, John wanted to kiss two women, Chaya and Teyla. He did not want to kiss Weir-Phoebus or Teer. With Teer he responded since she was the only female around who he really spoke to, and further more he figured he'd be alone since he'd been there 6 months to a year or something with no one. So it was a logical result. With Weir, it was a no way, and he didn't respond as John or Thalen.
in the blood, kudos to you.
(something completely mean came to mind...shoot I'll say it---
