I have been with my DH a while
And recently realized we dont do it anymore except in bed
I miss it and dont know why it stops in long relationships

@sanityisamyth sounds like good riddance if you dont mind me saying so
I couldn't stomach that

I haven't snogged properly since I was a teenager.

Nancydowns · 28/11/2020 22:13

Only while getting jiggy.

Bananawho · 28/11/2020 22:14

@LubaLuca that's a shame
What happened?

Afraid so! Not always mega long sessions, but yeah we kiss with tongues multiple times a day!

Bananawho · 28/11/2020 22:26

@SomewhereInbetween1
I'm so jealous rn
Want to swap husbands?

MirandaWest · 28/11/2020 22:32

We’ve been together 8 years and kiss with tongues most days

Bananawho · 28/11/2020 22:32

@SomewhereInbetween1 seriously tho
How do you maintain that kind of passion?
Is it just being married to someone who loves a quick snog sesh as much as u do?

Marellaspirit · 28/11/2020 22:33

No... But then neither of us have ever particularly liked it.

Not a shame, I just didn't fancy it any more Smile. I did plenty of snogging in my youth, but it never felt right in a relationship (and I've been in the same one since the 90s Shock).

maudspellbody · 28/11/2020 22:38

Oh god I love snogging.
But I like lips stroking and maybe a nibble and passion and caressing. For me, it's all in the lips. Changes in pressure and position.
Tongues might occasionally dart in and out, but that isn't the main events.

During sex it gets a little more tonguey.

But I hate wide open mouth, stick tongue in and waggle it around technique. I find it really off-putting.

All about the lips.

So it depends what you mean really.

Closed lipped pecks don't cut it. At all.

Allthequalitystreet · 28/11/2020 22:40

proper snog should be giving you fanny flutters

Which is why many couples with kids are doing it all the time. Because it can be a big turn on, you can't often drop everything and have sex (in fact if you have young kids and are working a lot, you probably are doing well to have sex once a week). So most people don't like being turned on and left all unsatisfied and distracted when they've got to get a killer stain out of little Bobby's school uniform and the cats been sick on the stairs and the toddlers out of bed like a jack in a box.

Allthequalitystreet · 28/11/2020 22:40

AREN'T snogging all the time I mean

SonjaMorgan · 28/11/2020 22:42

Yes. It normally leads to sex but then most interactions do.

BunnyMacDougal · 28/11/2020 22:43

Together 20 years and kiss several times daily. Usually one of us will progress it to a full tonguey one at least once during the day.

It’s lovely.

Also part of foreplay and sex for us.

@maudspellbody nice reply very descriptive Second Best kissing advice I ever heard was use tongue like a spice it's not the main event like you said. I like a romantic smooch with just the lips as well sometimes I like a light darting tongue kiss but right now I am craving a proper open mouth passionate French snog to make me melt I'll snog anyone at this pointWink

@Allthequalitystreet
Very specific answer i hope you're not speaking from experience
But good explanation
Some people in the thread are managing it tho I'm not sure howHmm
I dont think any parent should have to miss out on a snog that's like the bare minimum

You are living the dream dont take it for granted
Tongue kisses are luvverly

Loved it so much as a teen and did a lot of it 🙄now, the thought of it makes me cringe. However, if I see a really good, passionate kiss on tv etc, I feel a bit sad as it’s been so long to feel that real sexual attraction/romance feeling.

Thehogfatherstolemycurry · 28/11/2020 23:08

@Thehogfatherstolemycurry
See thats impressed me
how so you manage keeping the passion after 16 years

We love each other a lot, I still really fancy him, we both enjoy a snog. We've always been very tactile, we hold hands sat on the couch and cuddle often, we value each other and take time to do nice little things for each other often. He's 50 and I'm nearly the same, he's my 2nd husband and I realize people and relationships need to be cherished.
I sound dead soppy now haha!

Bananawho · 28/11/2020 23:11

@Nomoreboobs
I was a keen snogger in my youth
Must have snogged half my uni lol
I understand what you mean about passionate kisses on tv i wish my DH did
