To not want to snog dh any more?

Sex is fine (altho not too often ), and I don't mind giving plenty of cuddles, but I have completely gone off snogging, and have done pretty much since we got married. I find it quite disgusting. I don't mind the odd peck but surely all this tonsil hockey is for teenagers. I should probably start another post about how wrong it is for anyone over 40 to snog in public too.

Anyone with me?

I hate it too. Can't be bothered with it. I especially wouldn't snog first thing in the morning - I hate morning breath .

Anna: that was a good point about the men yearning for some affection, but it's something that needs a bit of negotiation so their DWs get some time to themselves. THe hardset thing for SAHMs is always negotiating time that's actually for oneselef alone.

Anna - my dh wants it before he leaves for work in the morning. I have to stop what I'm doing and go to the front door to see him off. This has been a recent development since he started leaving for work at a reasonable hour and not the crack of dawn when I'm still asleep.

TMI Muppet!

hellish · 11/09/2007 17:23

totally with you sleepless and snogsuck, it just feels odd.

Don't mind it in the throes of passion. Dh gives me a hard time that i don't like kissing, but what can I say?

lucyellensmum · 11/09/2007 17:50

i find snogging really horny - maybe someone should tell my DP That way, he might get more.

ROTL at muppets going south! I dread to think whats up north!!!

TheMuppetMuggle · 11/09/2007 17:57

LOL Elastic Women hehe

I love morning snogging and sex

smurfgirl · 11/09/2007 17:57

I find this hard too, I love love love drunken snogs in clubs (am I 15?!) and during sex but am not into watching Panorama or something and then randomly snogging. DF takes it as a personal insult but its not about him at all its just that I don't want to snog him every other minute!

TheMuppetMuggle · 11/09/2007 17:58

LucyEllen - theres enough to play with uptop to

motheroftwoboys · 11/09/2007 20:12

There was another thread like this recently on Relationships I think I have a BIG problem with this atm. LOVE snogging - even though I am 50 so quite ancient but I HATE smoking and my DH is currently smoking so I cannot kiss him so we don't have sex atm which is really sad. Can't have sex without snogging, can't snog a smoker!

I don't like snogging any more, DH uses his tongue and i'm not keen, he's also gone really sloppy and i'm struggling with it. Don't know why. I just prefer gentle slow snogging - no tongues, no sloppiness. Yuck

motheroftwoboys · 11/09/2007 20:27

motheroftwoboys now having naughty thoughts of "snogs she has known".

hellish · 12/09/2007 02:19

sloppy, yes maybe that's the problem

Snogsuck · 12/09/2007 07:52

Lol I was just scrolling down for a poster called sloppy. It's obviously far too early. I just don't like saliva. It's not his fault bless, he always brushes his teeth and uses mouthwash.

LucyJones - I hope you don't mind me mentioning it... but yours is quite a dangerous attitude . Mothers who get lots of love and affection and cuddles often think it is "reasonable" to expect their husbands to lay off the cuddles and physical affection to give them some breathing space in the evening. But those men who have not received any physical affection all day (in fact, may even have been in quite hostile environments) are yearning for it.

It's very dangerous ground to refuse it.

Dangerous ground in what sense? I disagree with this. Everyone has needs. A woman's job when she has kids at home with her is to provide all this affection. It's not her job to do the same for a grown man when he gets home. If man wants affection and she doesn't it can be negotiated, but surely men can also understand. It's not like kids are small like that for long.

I loved snogging in my teens but went off it after that. I just don’t like extended kissing with tongues. I’m too impatient and just want to get to the sex bit, or else I’m happy to cuddle up on the sofa.

I always thought I was weird, but it seems I’m not that unusual!

Benjispruce4 · 09/11/2022 20:28

Snogging conjures up wide open mouthed teens. Sensual kissing is what you want. My first kiss with DH was a wow moment at 20 and it’s still good at 50!

MarigoldMoonStone · 09/11/2022 20:47

I don’t like having sex without a bit of snogging

MarigoldMoonStone · 09/11/2022 20:48

Oh yeah but definitely have to brush teeth and mouthwash first if been smoking..yuk!!

Yeah my DH has to mouthwash and brush teeth in order for me to enjoy a proper pash off

@Anna8888 - the 1950s are calling! They want your opinion back 😂

Foxglovers · 09/11/2022 22:08

Haha I totally agree. Absolutely hate the idea of it now, which bothers DH. I think I can only be into it in a new relationship? Then it kind of turns on me!
