Do you miss snogging males?

Remember being 14/15 or so onwards and just sooo much kissing, so much fancying of different boys, feeling excited if you’d see them that night and if you’d get to go with them 😂
I don’t think I’ve kissed like that since my mid twenties maybe…40’s now.

If you are this age and date again, do you kiss like this? I really have no idea

Gah I hate snogging, I even hate the word 🤢.
I know I'm in the minority here.

You’re not! I hate the word “snog”, such an ugly word and I hate seeing it on TV.

There’s very little in life that’s better than a full on, very long kiss.

There’s very little in life worse! 😱😆

But kiss properly every day? In what situation

My husband and I are in our 40s, together almost 20 years and kiss everyday, we probably don't 'snog' every day but we often have a good hug and kiss of an evening if the kids are in the living room occupied and we find ourselves both in the kitchen making a cuppa or something. Before we had small kids we definitely kissed everyday, had sex most days too

Nope.
Hate kissing. Always have. It's so intrusive. Thankfully I married an equally cold fish and our tongues have remained in our own mouths for nearly 30 years.

😆😆

I'm shocked so many don't have a proper passionate kiss reasonably regularly in their 40s. I genuinely didn't know that was a thing that happens. Those upset at snogging I front of the kids, are your kids always right there? We don't kiss passionately in front of them obviously, we do hold hands, hug, lean against each other when watching TV on the couch etc

@PyongyangKipperbang And they are called "Men" FYI, not "males"

Thank fuck someone said it.

Do men ever miss snogging females I wonder 🙄.

It’s men and women.

Except in Friday Night Dinner and then it's females 😄

Bigearringsbigsmile · 10/06/2025 23:44

God I've been eith my dh 33 years snd we still snog! How sad not to!

MoneyMoneyMoney25 · 10/06/2025 23:48

Ooh I love a good snog. It’s rare that it happens anywhere other than the bedroom though as there’s teens about and they’d probably puke at the sight 🤣. He’s 38 and I’m 44.

My dad and step mum are always winching and he turned 70 yesterday🤢.

Mind you me and DP kiss in front of our kids (who think it’s yucky) so I guess I can’t criticise my dad for it, but it wayyyy grosser when he does it 😭.

Sameasiteverwas8 · 10/06/2025 23:59

Never snog anymore but might give it a go! I’ll probably get the giggles though. I miss it. 😢

Starseeking · 11/06/2025 00:06

I love love love a proper snog. My ex dwindled it off after a year or so, meaning I’ve not had a proper Kiss for something like 11 years. How I miss it!

4kids3pets · 11/06/2025 00:46

Even with 3 toddlers there's always times in the day for a good smooch, and night time for sure. Adore hubby as much as the day we married

JacquesHarlow · 11/06/2025 07:35

For all those saying "ugh hate the idea, would never do such a thing now we're older"..

.... does your DH feel the same? Is he mentally on a thread like this, thinking how much he misses it? If the opportunity arose... etc?

Without communication it’s yet another case of ‘I hate it therefore I’m not going to do it, oh and I forbid you from ever doing it again too, don’t really care if you miss it or not tbh’.

Then ‘DH wants a divorce/met someone else, I’m blindsided’.

It does need to be a jointly agreed thing.

And yes, no one should ever do something they don’t want to.

But then, decisions taken will always have results.

Think I'd feel less nauseous seeing my dog polish off some other dog's turd that have to witness anyone 50+ snogging 🤣
