How often do you kiss each other, any sort of kiss ?

Peck and hugs we do a lot. I don’t like “snogging”@DontLookBackInAnger1 you might be on to something, we’ve been together 15.

Hausa · 14/03/2022 23:32

First thing, before work, when we get in from work and before bed. Quick pecks, generally. Always three before bed. I’ll kiss his head if I walk past him on the couch or something. And he’ll give me forehead kisses if we’re having a cuddle.

Proper full on ‘snogging’ is generally a precursor to sex, so two or three times a week.

StScholastica · 14/03/2022 23:33

Several times a day, both of us initiate it.
We went away for a romantic weekend 2 weeks ago and we snogged on the beach and (like giggling teenagers) in an alleyway near our restaurant.
I'm in my 50s and he's in his 60s Grin
Been together 28 years.

We both peck the (grown up) kids on both cheeks everytime we meet them.

Calandor · 14/03/2022 23:33

Yes, pecking about 20 times a day. Snogs maybe 1-3 a day.

We're very very tactile though and it's very important to us both.

We've been together 8 years.

Not much. Not a fan of kissing on the lips. Pecks? Yes.

Hausa · 14/03/2022 23:35

@Nikolaus

Not really. We are more a hug/cuddle type, so I will give them a really big close hug before I go somewhere, but not really a kiss.

We don't kiss much during sex either tbh, just sometimes.

I’ve seen this a few times in here and it fascinates me. I don’t think I’d know how to have sex without kissing! How does it even get started? You just start having sex?

If you’d rather not say, do please ignore. I just find it interesting.

RewildingAmbridge · 14/03/2022 23:37

At the moment not at all, he's got Covid.
Usually 3/4 times a day when leaving for work, getting home , before bed etc. Not really a fan of snogging if it's not going anywhere (where does it end?) or if I've not had a few glasses of wine, I realise this makes me sound like a teenage boy.

Thewindwhispers · 14/03/2022 23:38

Only during sex, unless you count the occasional awkward peck when I insist. He isn’t the cuddly type 😢 and he could quite happily skip the sex kissing too!

Most replies to your OP will say “I snog DH all the time! It’s amazing! Couldn’t live without my daily kisses!” But… Count them. This is a pretty big site, some threads have 700+ replies. See how many blissfully hapy regular snoggers there are on Mumsnet…

Xkerching08x · 14/03/2022 23:40

Been together years and have toddler and still peck and snog several times a day, I love it lol

MadCattery · 14/03/2022 23:43

He loves to hug, big hugs. I love to kiss. So we do both, several times a day and always before sleep

Weatherwax13 · 14/03/2022 23:45

Some kind of peck, usually with a hug, every day.
Proper old kissing maybe once, twice a week max, but generally that's to do with sex not affection.
Why OP? Are you feeling sad?

I genuinely don’t know what you’re trying to communicate here.
Holothane · 14/03/2022 23:48

Pecks only never snogged used to several times a day I’ve got it down to one if that.

THEDEACON · 14/03/2022 23:49

Multiple times a day snogs pecks the lot together 15 years I'm late 50s he's older

DixonD · 14/03/2022 23:53

Only once a day, before he goes off to bed (he goes up before me).

“Proper” kissing only during sex, never outside it.

StarlightLady · 15/03/2022 07:02

OP, YABU asking others when you don’t say why you are asking or anything about yourself.

CloseYourEyesAndSee · 15/03/2022 07:05

All the time

EezyOozy · 15/03/2022 09:41

Nope. My marriage is in trouble in that respect.

frazzledasarock · 15/03/2022 09:44

Yes just as a normal thing.

youdoyoutoday · 15/03/2022 09:48

Many times throughout the day. Quick peck on the lips after most conversations, bit of a make session whilst waiting for the kettle to boil sometimes. Sex 3 to 4 times a week, we are still like teenagers, it's great. We've been together 5 years.

deadlanguage · 15/03/2022 09:50

At least a dozen times a day, I would say

CounsellorTroi · 15/03/2022 09:53

Most days, lots of hugs and cuddles too. Been married 32 years.

Superhanz · 15/03/2022 10:05

Pecks several times a day, morning, night, and odd random.

Snogs hardly ever, we only really did that when it was leading somewhere and with a 4 month old baby those times are rare!

Together 13 years.

DontWiltMySpinachPlease · 15/03/2022 10:10

Pecks, frenchies, the lot, several times a day 😁

SafeMove · 15/03/2022 10:11

We kiss hello/goodbye daily and hug a lot. Mostly hug in the kitchen which is weird - if we are making a hot drink, cooking, washing up the other always comes in a hugs the other. How weird, just realised that. maybe we have a kitchen fetish. Anyway I digress.

Proper kisses (DP has never done a full on french kiss, he lightly kisses and flicks his tongue around which again I find strange) are just when we have sex. I would give up kisses if I had to choose between hugs or kisses. I am not that bbothered about them - even though our first kiss is one of my best memories in life.
