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!?

I'm not criticising it because it was her experience which she shared. Which is fine to do.
You did not share similar.
You were the one being 'oh go on, repeat it please'. Then other similar things, numerous times.
But carry on being defensive, that's fine. I'm not easily offended. I think responses like yours are so deeply ingrained in male behaviour that they go unnoticed. So you don't see anything there, but I do, because I'm not male.
Which was my initial observation.

I think if posters had a full picture of Torn's style you'd know there's nothing to worry about. He's all good, don't worry people.

TornFromTheInside · 28/08/2018 00:31

It was clearly a joke. You failed to grasp it, you jumped to conclusions based on gender.
Other people managed to laugh.

Anybody who'd take that post seriously is deliberately looking to interpret at that. That'll be you.

Vitalogy · 28/08/2018 00:32

I'm not easily offended. Some people truly are, seems the go to word and response/reaction these days.

onetimeposter · 28/08/2018 00:39

Just picture it as a conversation at the office or after work. One woman says something. Other women contribute. One man goes on and on about the same thing.
Fair enough. But definitely a male way of thinking, it was obvious. Not sure which 'post' you referred to btw, seeing as there were 6. But, crack on and all that.
Thanks vitalogy

TornFromTheInside · 28/08/2018 00:55

You're still harping on about it?
Complain to MN - let them take an impartial look at it.

extrastrongnosugar · 28/08/2018 04:13

interesting subject! because i also have gone off sloppy wet kisses over the years although DH sometimes still jumps one on me - wish i hate and protest because its more about him grabbing me than me enjoying the kiss. ive started being very vocal about the kisses i like: less tongue more dry and "adult" i guess. i still like to kiss him just would do it more if he didnt try to make it a slugfest each time.
i feel a bit prude and alone with that sentiment though but i dont give a damn now 10 years later is a good a time as any to make ones preferences known...

These threads always seem to attract the men

Confused And what about it????

murphys · 28/08/2018 14:00

I snogged a man with a beard for the first time in my life, very recently.

I was quite surprised how lovely and soft it was. And no he doesn't use oil or any product. I expected it to be all stubbly. Quite pleased was I.

Love a good snog. Had a few since my ex, I see there are a lot of better kissers in the world.

murphys · 28/08/2018 14:01

And what about it

I cannot see the issue either to be honest.

Leapfrog44 · 28/08/2018 15:39

We kiss passionately quite often (10 years) . When I'm not in the mood for sex, I'll sometimes deliberately cut it short as he gets quite hot under the collar, but generally yes it's something that feels more intimate and loving that sex. It keeps you feeling close.

TornFromTheInside · 28/08/2018 16:04

I made what I thought was a joke of someone's steamy post (which itself was slightly OTT and fun). Of course because I made a meal of it, and male it was considered pervy.
All a bit silly really. I was on another half dozen threads at the time too, but people see what they want to see. My enthusiasm for kissing and humour remain intact!

OutPinked · 28/08/2018 16:08

Every day.

Largepiecesofcrookedwood · 28/08/2018 16:28

We do, and I would consider our personal life to be very staid in all respects Wink
As it happens I was looking forward to getting down to a bit of snogging tonight, only to discover that DS has changed his plans and is now going to be sat in his bedroom about six foot from the head of our bed

MsHomeSlice · 28/08/2018 16:42

i had no idea torn was a chap until today, so he's hardly perving all over MN giving the laydeezs his manly advice, in a manly way with his hands in his pants.

and beards are an asset to snogging....dh uses his to his advantage I can assure you. Necks are a very erogenous zone when lightly and softly brushed with the aforementioned beard during the snogging

I really wanted to say caressed there, but it is an icky word, as pp have said..

Oblomov18 · 28/08/2018 16:52

Interesting. Dh and I only do it occasionally.

MrsMarigold · 28/08/2018 22:03

Torn it's no problem, it was all tongue in cheek....

TornFromTheInside · 28/08/2018 22:28

I see what you did there!

But I can't comment. I'll be shot.

Vitalogy · 28/08/2018 22:45

But I can't comment. I wish you would Smile

MyRelationshipIsWeird · 28/08/2018 23:00

See, I wouldn’t mind if DP went the whole hog and grew an actual beard, but he goes through fine-grade sandpaper, course sandpaper, wire wool and then just as it gets to the point where it’s getting long enough to be soft and furry, he shaves it off and is back to fine grade sandpaper within an hour! Bloody manly fucker.

ladymariner · 28/08/2018 23:18

Fwiw I thought Torn 's comment was funny.

ladymariner · 28/08/2018 23:19

And yes, me and dh snog loads, I absolutely love kissing him.

nessus · 28/08/2018 23:44

Gosh, this thread has just reminded me just how much I thoroughly like snogging. Good job OP!

As an aside, some on this thread appear to be unsure of the definition of snogging, which baffles me 🤔🤣

bicback · 29/08/2018 07:03

I also in knowing that tom is male also found his post somewhat cringy rather than funny.
