To think snogging is weird?

Who ever thought ; "I know lets show our attraction to each other by licking each other's tongues a bit?"

Weirdos

Also - do people still say snogging?

By god a good snog is the best thing in the world! (bar maybe one thing)

Lots of things are weird when you think hard about them though.

Men's ties for eg. Bits of coloured fabric tied round your neck to look formal.

Giving flowers. ''Here's some plant foliage - it means i love you''.

Clapping. ''we all bash our hands together to show we like it''.

We once (drunkenly) said to friends how much we love snogging and they (also drunk) admitted they never do it!

It was about 10 years ago, and dh and I still secretly think they are weird and repressed.

Blackheart2016 · 30/04/2016 18:23

It's great but only with the right person. I met a man once with a phobia of tongues. It was like kissing sandpaper Confused.

Blackheart2016 · 30/04/2016 18:24

I think the first sign that there is something wrong in a relationship is when the snogging goes. It's such an intimate thing to do you can only do it with someone you are very attracted to.

Eponas Grin at the clapping description!!

One I've seen on a meme (is that what they are? A picture with writing on?)

I'm not a big snogger.

DH is really good at it but I prefer small pecks, well sensual ones that is.

I don't know what to do with my tongue really or where to move my head. It confuses me a bit. I actually get quite panicky about it so my poor husband is snog deprived as he loves it.

Nothing wrong with our marriage in the slightest. I find him amazingly attractive, I'm just not a snogging fan and never have been.

BennyTheBall · 30/04/2016 18:50

I am a bit intrigued by this - about the moving on to sex if there is no snogging.

I am possibly over thinking it.

flirtygirl · 30/04/2016 19:20

Ok tmi follows
I often have snogless kissless sex, i have to be really turned on to snog because quite often i thing eww gross and cant do it, snog that is

Yet we still have sex

(too often for me but i have a low sex drive) husband wants daily i want twice a week so i meet in the middle and it ends up being 4/5 times a week)

Rubbing tongues together has always turned my stomach and only one man ive met could have me snogging and snogging and sadly i didnt marry him Confused

UntilTheCowsComeHome · 30/04/2016 19:52

I'm not a huge fan of snogging.

DH has a much bigger mouth and fuller lips than mine so it often ends up with his mouth enveloping mine too much and it gets a bit slobbery.

Much prefer smaller gentle kisses on the lips as we stroke faces and hair. Intimacy without the slobber.

Junosmum · 30/04/2016 20:12

Another one who isn't a fan of snogging but she loves it 😖

Now for the science- snogging is an evolutionary action designed to help you pick out healthy and biologically compatible mates with which to procreate. A good snogger (to you) may be a bad snogger to someone else due to literal chemistry!

Junosmum · 30/04/2016 20:12

Not she, Dh. Damn autocorrect

thiswayplease · 30/04/2016 20:19

I miss the days of just snogging on the couch....

I have been wondering if after 10 years, I can train DH to better at it Grin

AdoraKiora · 30/04/2016 20:20

I dont like snogging other than during sex.

it doesn't seem weird when you're getting jiggly.

It seems weird when not, though.

or am I weird? Hmm

TattyDevine · 30/04/2016 20:22

It's weird, but so is sex, but when it's good, it's GOOD.

TattyDevine · 30/04/2016 20:22

These things are always ridiculous on paper.

EDisFunny · 30/04/2016 20:27

I love kissing, hate the word snogging, hated kissing my ex-husband (when we were together), it really should have been a clue! I will never again be with a man I don't enjoy kissing.

squoosh · 30/04/2016 20:30

Oh you can't beat a good snog.

Mickey Flanagan does a routine where he says the problem with teenagers is that they've given up fingering!

peggyundercrackers · 30/04/2016 20:31

In my part of Scotland it's called necking but people still call it snogging too. In my younger days if you or your friend went out with a young man the first thing you would ask is "did you get a neckie" if you did that meant you were in :)

blondieblondie · 30/04/2016 20:32

I love snogging! Well, when it's done well. I can't quite believe some people married people who they don't enjoy kissing. That would put me right off. I must be really quite shallow Blush

TimeToMuskUp · 30/04/2016 20:34

I love a proper, raunchy kiss. It's not often we have one now as there's children everywhere and adulting to be done, but nothing better than a glass of wine and a snog in the back of a cab.

TimeToMuskUp · 30/04/2016 20:35

Blondie I totally agree; DH is a fantastic kisser, had he been a shitty one I'd never have married him. You can tell a lot from a kiss. Himself still makes me go a bit gooey when we have a proper kiss.

WhatALoadOfOldBollocks · 30/04/2016 20:38

It is weird isn't it. I've often wondered how us humans decided it was a sexy thing to do Confused. Can't say I'm a big fan of it really...most of the time there's too much slobber, tongues like wet towels in a washing machine, can't breathe properly. Rarely have I met a man who's kissed how I like it. So many go straight in with the tongue down the throat. Yuk.

thatsn0tmyname · 30/04/2016 20:39

Robert Winston (or similar) says humans can chemically analyse each others immune systems/ saliva when snogging to help identify good genetic matches for having children with strong immune systems. Maybe that's why (some) couples give up snogging once the children gave arrived. No more needSmile

WeeHelena · 30/04/2016 20:40

I agree that a good snog is a great indicator of compatibility or rather sexual chemistry with someone ime but I suppose it depends if your into it.Confused

Iv been with people were it's awkward and not natural and then with people where i could just do it all day.

honeylulu · 30/04/2016 20:40

Imagine trying to explain to an alien from another planet."Well you press your food-hole up against someone else's food-hole and rub them around together". It is a bit odd if you think about it.
Occurs too me that I often have sex without snogging these days (like a prostitute only I don't get paid). Lighthearted comment. How I wish I knew how to do the fake crossing out thingy.
