inspired by a response in my earlier thread about being bored of snogging I was surprised that I seemed to have had very few compared to others? For me its 8 -5 boys and 3 girls I thought that was an average amount but apparently not. if its not TMI what about you?

Never kissed a girl and only ever snogged my boyfriends so only a few. I hate kissing though and avoid it like the plague.

Slept with lots more!

Tealuver · 22/11/2020 12:57

Alot. I'd say maybe 100 if not more? But this was only between the ages of 14 to 18.
Ive been with my husband since I was 18. We don't snog anymore Confused

I honestly don't have a clue. Probably hundreds. The vast majority were before the age of 25 (I'm 40).

jessstan1 · 22/11/2020 13:06

I've no idea how many people I snogged when I was young. Quite a few I think.

Iwantacookie · 22/11/2020 13:37

Not a clue hundreds probably Wink

kamala4prez · 22/11/2020 14:55

@inappropriateraspberry I reckon I might have the confidence for a quick smooch but would be way too nervous to go for tongues with a stranger

@Graffitiqueen

Loads! Couldn't count.

At secondary school we played this game called city gates at school discos where the girls made an arch in a circle and the boys walked underneath and when the music stopped you snogged who you caught. Then swapped over. Would not be allowed today!!!

Then in the local night club (small town) they would play slow dances at the end and you found someone to snog.

Then there was university when a night wasn't complete without a snog!!!

Wow graffitiqueen what a life you've had I can't believe people really did those games "Sigh" did I miss out by not going to uni?

We played spin the bottle too. A sort of ultimate try before you buy and strip poker all this aged 14-15

hardboiledeggs · 22/11/2020 15:42

Probably about 30 men. 0 women

inappropriateraspberry · 22/11/2020 15:42

Not sure I'd be able to do it these days! It's a young girl's game, great at 18-21, at 40 not so much fun!

I didn't think anybody had actually had played either or them in real life thought it was just made up Hollywood stuff Or was I wrong again everyone?

God knows, mind you I've not shifted anyone for ages, we've been married for 32 years and rather last that stage now

LouJ85 · 22/11/2020 16:16

Literally wouldn't even know where to start with trying to count that! Blush

hopefulhalf · 22/11/2020 16:37

Quite liberal leftie childhood, very few inhibitions which has had it's own problems.

ComeOnBabyHauntMyBubble · 22/11/2020 16:53

Oh girls are much easier to count. Only 5.

ginglebellsginglebells · 22/11/2020 16:59

There was a question on House of Games about how many people the average man kissed before finding 'the one'. I can't remember the exact answer... I think it was 15, definitely below 20.

I've led a very sheltered life, it seems, as my number is 5.

One snog with a stranger, on holiday in Spain, aged 16. The rest have been kisses with men who became boyfriends.

kamala4prez · 22/11/2020 21:24

@ginglebellsginglebells is there a good story behind your kiss on holiday if you dont mind me asking?

@jambeforeclottedcream

Should clarify I love a proper snog - top 10 things about lockdown.

I had a good time at uni and I prefer snogging to sex

Wouldn't lockdown mean less snogs not more?

rumandbiscuits · 23/11/2020 08:06

It's in the 20s not 100% how much exactly bare in mind I have been with my current partner for nearly 8 years and been with him since I was 20.
This might sound cringing but has anyone had a kiss that you will never forget? In a good way? Like the best kiss you have ever had. Or have they all snowballed into one?

Stillgoings · 23/11/2020 08:18

I tried to count them when I was awake last night. I got to 22, some I didn't know the names of - just that speed boat instructor, or that Hungarian fella,.but they're the ones with a story. I think there will probably be many more nightclub kisses I can't remember. I was a late starter, but from 17-29 there was a lot of fun.

I actually had a little black book with lists and if I didn’t know the name I would put “ dark hair blue shirt X club “ etc.
It went missing 15 years ago during a break up... it was around 170 then so I think around 200.

I have slept with around 20 though. Kissing is one of my favourite hobbies Grin

Caramel81 · 23/11/2020 08:38

Hundreds. Me and my friends would all snog about 10 boys each whenever we went to the under 18 clubs. As as adult I’ve probably only snogged about 6 people though as have been in relationships

praepondero · 23/11/2020 09:40

I know the number of girls, 3, but chaps, absolutely no idea. Dozens and dozens and.....
Bored of snogging DH though, however, thus has ever been so with him. I do wonder if at the beginning of a relationship the overload of oxytocin blinds us to many traits in partners that we'd find quite repulsive once the fog clears? Often too bloody late Hmm .
