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?

Im hitting 50 and we snog in public. I am hoping that never changes. Snogging is amazing!

My DH has short stubbley beard and he always misses one hair that overhangs his top lip and gives me the ick. He flatly refuses to trim up around it and so I flatly refuse to give him "a bit neck on" as we say it. 😆 I wind him up and call him stig of the dump until he gets annoyed and takes himself back to tidy it up. Love eh? 💋

Hate the word snog and actually don't really like doing it anymore, it's just feels a bit 🤮 Nothing to do with my dh who is lovely but it's the whole tongue in mouth thing!!

😢 my DH has not snogged me in years.
The rejection hurts

Not a fan either. I think it's a bit weird past the age of 35, to be snogging like teenagers in public. I know they do it on soaps and dramas with people 35-40 and older, but in real life I never see it. If I saw a middle aged couple (or older) slathering over one another and snogging, I would puke. I am sure SOME people do it 35-40 and older in real life, but I never see it.

I am in my mid 50s and honestly boak at the thought of snogging anyone... even DH. Waaaaaay past that. Nothing wrong with DH, but just no! We have a different relationship now to what we had 35 years ago when we met, and love and care for one another, and are best friends, but we just aren't touchy feely/intimate now. I just CBA. DH isn't fussed either. See also; walking along holding hands. How and why? I find it SO restrictive walking along holding hands. I just hate it.

When we were in the first flush of romance in our early 20s, we couldn't keep our hands off one another. We snogged and kissed half of the time we spent together! And we shagged 5-7 times a week. All through our 30s, we still went 2-3 times a week. We still did it up to early to mid 40s - albeit only 2 or 3 times a month then. Then luckily both went off it at the same time in our late 40s. Last did it at around 48 years old.

I really do struggle to fathom that some people still have sex past the age of 55. No offence to those who still 'do it.' I just can't imagine it or why anyone would want to do it past 55.. And the thought of it makes me nauseous. It's especially odd and icky (to me) when someone over 55 - or 50 even - has just met that person/have only seen them 3 or 4 times, and they shag! If me and DH split, the thought of shagging someone else fills me with horror.

Maybe I'm just a miserable, cold old fish! 😂 Suits me though, and as I say, luckily, my DH feels the same. We don't need to be overly tactile, walk around everywhere holding hands, and stick our tongues down each others throats to be 'close.'

How sad.

I hope my sex life doesn’t stop dead at 48!
