To wanting to make out with my partner?

[HellofromEurope]

Me and my partner have been together for over 3 years. I am 26 he's 7 years older than me... and I feel like we are living in a world where things move too fast. We slept together 4-6 weeks after our first date and I feel like that might had happened a bit too soon. He didn't pressure it or anything but I like the romantic get to know each other stage. Like taking things step by step and first just holding hang, long kisses without having to feel it has to end with sex.

Obviously I've been with my partner for sometime and can't do anything about this but sometimes I wish we could just make out without feeling it has to end in bed.

I think I might sound childish and can't really put it into words what exactly but is there anyone else who sometimes feels the same?

For the record tho, I live sex and my partner but I just miss this feeling I used to get when I was younger and making out was enough

I am interested in how people respond to this but my experience is that the 'making out phase' ends with teenagehood.

@Fruitcorner123 that's what I thought too! It feels like this should be a teenager thing but recently I just can't take my mind off it. 😳

I often feel this way as well. I can’t have a kiss or cuddle without dh taking it as a green light for something more. Sometimes I can’t be bothered with sex, it would just be nice to make out. I’ve suggested to him that we could just do this sometimes and he’ll agree but then it doesn’t work put that way when the time comes.

For me, unless we are somewhere inappropriate, proper kissing is a precursor to sex. I'd be very confused and frustrated with a make out sesh that didn't!

I think generally in an adult relationship if you go that far it will end in sex, because you're both turned on so why not see it through. It takes a lot of willpower not to do it and I don't think many people will see any benefit in that.
