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!?

Yes. When we got together he was an amazing kisser but not brilliant at actual sex/leadup to actual sex. I knew he had potential. (If a bloke is a crap kisser, there is just no way forward in my experience.) Together 12 years, and no longer shagging on the bathroom floor, but I love kissing him, even if it doesn’t always lead to sex.

TornFromTheInside · 27/08/2018 22:44

I've never understood a man who would put a beard over the chance to kiss. If it's one or the other, the beard's gone!

Steady on - my old ticker's doing ten to the dozen now... can you describe that again please - but slowly, in detail
Hmm
These threads always seem to attract the men

Touchmybum · 27/08/2018 22:50

We do sometimes. Together 33 years, married 28, 3 kids. Why not?

2LitreBottle · 27/08/2018 22:53

Yes every time we're together, although when my DP needs a shave it can leave my face a little worse for wear! When my DD walks in on us smooching in the kitchen and goes "ooh gross, germs!" he licks my face to prove a point Grin

We've been together 6 years and I still go giddy when I look at him. The first night we met he did that snogging me up against a wall thing and I accidentally blurted out that I loved him Blush That is the power of a decent snog.

I do miss it when I don't see him for a few days, more than the sex really although he's fucking awesome at that too If I had to choose between sex with no snogging or kissing with no sex, I'd take the kissing any day.

Are you taking careful logs of it all for statistical analysis? :-)

Lozz22 · 27/08/2018 22:57

My STBXH no never well probably a few times in the very early years but I never enjoyed it! Mind you lack of oral hygiene didn’t really help matters all that much!! It was bad enough having to breathe in curry and beer fumes when we were having sex. In fact I’d lay there dry heaving with my arm over my face to cover my nose. My current Boyfriend however has fantastic oral hygiene and we practically suck each other’s faces off when we see each other!! Although living 98 miles away from each other means we don’t see each other quite as often as we’d like so I reckon we probably make up for lost time during each time we can meet up!! And we snog before, during and after making love to each other!!

geekone · 27/08/2018 22:58

I have been with my husband for 21 years and we “smooch” as DS calls it all the time not even always sex related.

No. Just a plain qualitative observation of the data and patterns of making comments about having sex based on other people's comments, rather than just answering the question.
Other people have managed that quite nicely Smile

Grin So funny Star

MrsMarigold Beards are very off-putting Has he not got it oiled up?

So many resonate, it's magnetic.

Sad and surprised there's so many couples that don't partake. Sad Shock

Vitalogy · 27/08/2018 23:39

I've never understood a man who would put a beard over the chance to kiss. If it's one or the other, the beard's gone! I've never kissed a man with a beard, although I'd like to give it a go. I've done stubble though, got a bit of a sore face Sad. These beards have to be well softened with some product I suspect.

Not making the same statements on other threads though. Selective.

TornFromTheInside · 27/08/2018 23:41

We have word association threads, utter tat, joke threads, tech threads - and not a comment made!

Ellapaella · 27/08/2018 23:48

Yes - together for 14 years today in fact and we often snog. Ranging from a peck on the lips to a full blown snog ya face off. I'd be sad if I ever stopped wanting to tbh.

smudgedlipstick · 27/08/2018 23:54

Ten years in and we still snog on the regular 😍 love it, impromptu snog in the kitchen whilst cooking dinner is a fave

Hushabyelullaby · 27/08/2018 23:58

During or on the lead up to sex, at other times it just tends to be a quick peck. We've been together 21 years. I find him infinitely snogable.

Bubblemumma1 · 28/08/2018 00:01

7 years later and we still snog.

Absolutely

None necessary. Haven't read anyone making suggestive comments about anyone else's posts on those. Most annoying I've come across is a bathpuff fascinator

TidyDancer · 28/08/2018 00:08

We still do a lot. It does lead to sex more often than not if we're at home at the time tbh. I would be a bit sad if it stopped. I love a good snog!

Vitalogy · 28/08/2018 00:14

You like what you like though - and that's that Well, this is it.

MyRelationshipIsWeird · 28/08/2018 00:16

Torn I think it's that yours is the only post which seems to reference the others in a "phwoar" way. Although to be fair on other threads posters will comment "steady on, its a bit early for that sort of thing" etc, its quite rare for a poster to imply that they are turned on by someone else's post. With threads like these, which invite some sort of sharing, it would be good manners I think, not to imply that someone's post is wank fodder!

onetimeposter · 28/08/2018 00:22

Yes relationship
That. It just seemed such a male (ie phroar, I'm getting hard on this love) response, and you messaged 6 times as well, not just the once, to the point. About your heart giving in, then about getting rid of a beard if you could get a snog, and so on.
Just sounded a bit pervy, not saying you are, but that's how it sounds.

TornFromTheInside · 28/08/2018 00:23

Good grief!

Seriously selective that.
A lady typed about a hard on pressed against her. Where's your criticism of that? The response was clearly in jest - it also talked about not being able to see across the room, bad back... etc etc

I think you're looking for something that's not there and you're being highly selective about it.

TornFromTheInside · 28/08/2018 00:25

Do it equally. Or don't do it at all.

I'll carry on posting thanks.

TornFromTheInside · 28/08/2018 00:27

You're implying precisely that. Don't pretend otherwise.
