Do you still 'snog' your husband?

We've been together for 7 years, married for 3. I don't think we've had anything more passionate than a peck on the lips for about 6 years Shock - yes, even during sex... Interested what other couples do!?

Ilovemypantry I've walked in on them kissing. They have no shame. They also do it to make us go 'ewwwww' because obviously it's hilarious to make your teenage children grossed out. (6 of us are adults now, 2 teens) In laws kiss a lot but from what DH siblings have told me they're erm... pretty frisky anyway. MiL is very handy.

I've never snogged, the word grosses me out! But in answer to your question. No. I miss it.

fussychica · 26/08/2018 16:56

Well there's snogging and there's snogging!
We do full on snogging during sex and a passionate kiss or two anytime. Out and about it's restricted to hand holding and a peck on the lips sometimes. Been together forever and married for just shy of 40 years.

BarbedBloom · 26/08/2018 17:28

Yes, quite often. We are very tactile people in general so are often hugging or holding hands

csigeek · 26/08/2018 17:31

Together 7 and married 3 as well and we still have a snog every now and again! Not all the time and sometimes not during sex either but if I fancy a snog I snog him 😂

TheMonkeyMummy · 26/08/2018 17:35

All the time.

QueenOfMyWorld · 26/08/2018 17:42

Lingering kisses but not snog

Hungryagain · 27/08/2018 17:31

Hardly ever, been together 22 yrs married 19 yrs, he never kisses me & if I try to kiss him he turns his head so I kiss his cheek, haven’t had sex in 2 yrs, we aren’t that old either late 30’s, feel miserable now I’ve read some of these posts, I crave affection but don’t get any :(

Obi73 · 27/08/2018 17:48

24 years together and we still have a good snog and regular PDA’s much to the embarrassment of 19 year old DD who rolls her eyes!
Appreciate everyone’s different though.

Hmmm, this is interesting. I've been with my DH for 23 years, married for 16. Our sex life is great and quite rude and I have no complaints really.

However, I just don't want to snog him anymore - he's gorgeous too! He's mentioned a few times that he misses it, but I think he's just accepted that it's not on the menu.

To me snogging is a display of passion, and I stopped feeling that after about our first year. I still fancy him and enjoy sex with him, just can't bring myself to snog him.

Sometimes I think I need to have a snogging-only affair as that's the only bit that's missing! I'm envious of all the couples on here keeping it going!!

theoriginalpineappletart · 27/08/2018 18:01

18 years and very much so. Quite often grab each other for a quick snog in the kitchen.

backstreetboysareback · 27/08/2018 18:03

Yep all the time

LittleMissedTheSunshine · 27/08/2018 18:03

I was just thinking about this the other day. No, don't really snog like we used to, maybe a passionate kiss in the heat of the moment when DTD but the thought of 'french kissing' with tongues n all is abhorrent!

pollymere · 27/08/2018 18:05

We did go through a patch when we didn't kiss that much, but have very much brought it back....married nearly 20 years.

NotUmbongoUnchained · 27/08/2018 18:05

Everyday!! Sometimes he’ll sneak up behind me and just grab me and snog me. Sometimes I wrestle him down to the floor and snog him. We have sex pretty much every day and lots of snogging during that too.

BuggerOffAndGoodDayToYou · 27/08/2018 18:07

Absolutely!

Carriecakes80 · 27/08/2018 18:14

We had a quiet spell for a couple of months after our fourth child, but me & husband love a good snog lol, but starting again after our dry spell, I didn't want it to seem forced, so we set up those cliche'd date nights lol. We would make sure all the kids buggered off to bed, watch a film together, played a game together (nothing kinky, we liked Left 4 Dead lol) and set the mood!
Been together 14 years and he still makes me knees go weak when he full on kisses me. We love how it makes the kids all disappear too.....peace n quiet! lol

Tunnocks34 · 27/08/2018 18:14

Ermmm yeah. I mean not all the time, but it’s also not uncommon for us to snog either xx

Worldsaway · 27/08/2018 18:14

We do but only during sex, usually just a peck all the other times.

TornFromTheInside · 27/08/2018 18:15

Kissing is (or should be) such a wonderfully intimate thing.
I don't subscribe to the view that kissing is just a 'stage' of foreplay - I think it can be absolutely fulfilling in itself too.
You can literally make love in a kiss - if it's with the right person, the right intent, the right depth of feeling. It should be like looking into someone's eyes and seeing something special - you should be able to kiss and read (feel) so much.

It should be spiritual, never trivial! (unless it's off your gran, in which case, leg it)

LuluJakey1 · 27/08/2018 18:15

How would you define snogging?
Lingering kisses - yes at least a couple a day.
Touching bits of body more intimately - occasionally.
Hugging while kissing- yes daily
French kissing - sometimes
Getting quite carried away on the sofa - about once a month
A cuddle up and kiss on the sofa - often
Outside of our house - nope unless we are in a hotel or have had a drink.

TornFromTheInside · 27/08/2018 18:17

Getting carried away on the sofa = Lifted at both ends while you're still on it!

stayathomer · 27/08/2018 18:22

Was out on a date night the other night, first time in ages and both merry and was going to make a move for a proper teenage snog and I didn't and thought after how sad it was that I even had to think about it! Going to do it tonight now, thanks op!!

Jeepy · 27/08/2018 18:23

I LOVE snogging and my partner of 20 years didn't like it much, but would sometimes do it when when we had sex. I really missed it and now I'm single again I'm going to make sure it's part of the package when I finally get round to looking for someone new!

youokhon · 27/08/2018 18:23

DH can't seem to snog without wanting sex so only in that scenario really
