Do you miss snogging males?

Oh definitely there's no question that it's very exciting to kiss someone new, and I'm nostalgic for my young years too sometimes. I wouldn't trade DH to go back to it though! But if you're single it's certainly one of the perks.

It's quite depressing to see that people actually think a woman who says she's still passionate with her husband is lying!

My children are long since grown up so no passionate kissing in front of them. It's actually good for children to see healthy affection between their parents but I wouldn't get into a full-on make out session, that's a private thing!

It's a really good way to keep things close and intimate in a relationship, as long as both of you want it. I'm in the latter throes of perimenopausal upheaval now and I'm so glad I haven't lost that side of things as I would really feel sad to not be close anymore.

@Boredeoboredbored you could try it, you know. It's easy to lose connection with yourself and your sexuality when you're in a long-term relationship and also to stop seeing your OH as attractive and exciting. That doesn't mean that the passionate side of you is lost forever; you can very likely find it again (if you want to).

Like PP's for me it was that sense of not knowing where it would lead. Getting the butterflies. Even the meaningless snog. I think it is that time of innocence combined with awakening sexuality that many of us mourn for more than the snog itself.

Kissing/snogging is one of the great things about being single again.

Seperated last year after 27 years together, he never liked kissing apart from the first couple of months. Now I kiss every chance I get and I love it.

No 🤮

Ah snogging. Better than ‘getting off’ 😬 with someone which did the rounds where I lived when I was a teenager!
I got divorced a few years ago. We hadn’t snogged in years. He wasn’t a great kisser and his dental hygiene deteriorated, which put me off. I used have End of a century by Blur ‘We kiss with dry lips when we say good night’..
After I started dating again, I met someone new. I had a couple of ‘snogs’ before I met DP. Very weird to kiss someone new! It was exciting getting ready for dates and the possibilities.
When I first met DP, I had butterflies. I remember thinking immediately how much I wanted to kiss him! Second date we’d found somewhere we thought was private to have a smooch but someone passing us said ‘get a room!’ 😆
We’ve been together 2 1/2 years but still live apart (too complicated to blend families) so we usually see each other every other weekend. Have a snog when we first see each other and we have a habit of snogging through ad breaks when we are watching TV! I love that we still have that passion.

Ah I have, sadly, but he's too polite with his kissing technique. I want a proper kiss fest! We do often kiss on the lips but nothing prolonged and rarely with tongue. I naively thought life with a baby would help us have a few teenage moments of stole passion where we could get it (scarcity breeding passion), but aside from doing the deed in some rather strange places there's been no snogging

God imagine being a child and seeing your parents sticking their tongues in each other’s mouths on a regular basis. Absolutely ridiculous, no one normal does this

My partner and I snog every day. I’m 48 and he’s 69. We’re together four years.

It’s different being in a newer relationship than in a long term marriage. Things change, life happens. I’d say it’s a vast minority of marriages than involve snogs at the door front!

I love these types of threads. Suddenly so many young and in love 40/50 yr olds snogging everyday!

Yeah right. Most couples bicker, a quick kiss on the lips if lucky and a “see ya” as you run around to work and after the kids.

Dont believe everything you read OP.

If men only knew how important great kissing was, they'd get so much more sex.

Why do people stop snogging? Do they downgrade it to just lips touching? I find it intriguing. Nothing better than a passionate kiss with a good snogger.

Love this and it made me laugh!

Seeing anyone snogging is 🤢 to me now and the sound of it is double 🤢🤢 and I used to love snogging but I grew out of that one 😅

At some point in old age surely people stop snogging?! 😅 I think snogging should be banned for over 40 year olds! runs and hides 😅😅

Well I can only speak for myself, but its because menopause has killed my libido stone dead. I have no desire at all. Its what caused the ending of my last relationship. Ex claimed he understood and we talked a lot about how sex would have to be a slow burn that had to be worked up to slowly and that my dryness meant that even with treatment and lube, it could leave me sore so sex would have to be more gentle. But he didnt change anything and became worse if anything, always trying to jump on me and became nothing short of a sex pest. So I finished with him.

This sort of comment and feeling is very common on Mumsnet I think, which is a real shame. When people split up and have different partners they often have a change of opinion about it.

So I guess the question next is ‘and why do so many women of a certain age start to dislike sex and avoid things they previously liked that might lead to sex?’.

DH and I snog a lot. He is a great kisser. Been together 24 years.

Nope.
Hate kissing. Always have. It's so intrusive. Thankfully I married an equally cold fish and our tongues have remained in our own mouths for nearly 30 years.

Yes! Honestly being a teenager young enough that sex was not automatically expected was a time I really miss.

I loved snogging. I only found it too slobbery a handful of times. Most of the time I found it good. I loved the stubble scratchy feeling and just the excitement the first time you snogged someone.

it should have been awkward when it was strangers at a party but it was never awkward as far as I remember. I think because we were all publicly snogging everyone. It just wasn’t that big of a deal. There also wasn’t time for it to get awkward as you’d just do more snogging.

i still enjoyed a lot of snogging in night clubs in my late teens and early 20s but it got a bit annoying as often it involved a lot of fending off hands from men who thought you were going to start engaging in sexual activities on the dance floor.

I also really miss things like neck kisses and dryhumping that didn’t lead to sex. Since I’ve got to the sex-having age I honestly found myself quite disappointed with how many of these things turn into very brief activities to build up to sex or just stop completely.

I did continue snogging DH for a long time as I didn’t want that to happen. Now we only really do it for sex. He’s not bad at snogging but it’s sometimes a bit… not slobbery… but like the amount of pressure isn’t quite right and it feels like our faces don’t quite line up right.

It’s always been fine but just fine. If I could put my finger on what the issue is I could tell him but I don’t know. He’s always been very very good in bed so I think I kind of allowed the snogging to gradually decrease as it didn’t give me the exciting “could do this for hours” feeling.

It’s a bit of a shame really.

There’s very little in life that’s better than a full on, very long kiss.

Me and DH still kiss like that, not everyday, but often. He still leaves my lips tingling for ages afterwards.

Yes I miss the kissing of my youth. I often think fondly of kisses I shared when young. My first love. We sneaked into the park on a cold winter’s night. The snow was very deep. We fell into the snow. Then kissing each other and time stood still. All the while hundreds of stars sparkled above us in a blue black velvety sky. I will remember it to my dying day.

I've been seeing someone for just over 18 months.
He's a great snogger and we kiss a lot 💋
We're in our sixties 😀
