Do you and your DP still kiss?

[fiveyearstime]

Lately I've been really missing those long, passionate snogs that you tend to find more at the start of a relationship. In fact, when I fantasise about being intimate with other people, it's often more about kissing than sex. My sex life is OK, but kissing seems to have gone completely by the wayside, somewhere in the last 10 yrs of marriage. Am I the only one?

DH and I had stopped kissing. One day I just burst out with how much I missed it and that I found myself daydreaming about snogging other people.

Now we snog again

You could always initiate it no?

Yeah, I could initiate it (and do, from time to time) but it almost feels weird -- like our relationship has moved past that stage.

I sometimes feel nervous about it because sometimes I just want a good snog, but then I think my OH would think it was leading to more and I'd have to say "no, just a snog thank you" haha!

Same as Alibaba, it stopped years ago. During discussions about how we could both be happier in our relationship I mentioned that I miss snogging for the sake of snogging. Now I get a great big kiss most days. Couldn't be happier.

Windy - yes that exactly it! As an aside, our sex life has improved hugely at the same time, partly because we are reminded more often that we like having sex with each other, but also because the conversation re-opened channels of communication about what we both want from the relationship.

Ali exactly the same thing happened to us, the increased intimacy of regular kisses has reignited my libido no end. It's like being in a new relationship all over again! We've made a promise to each other never to slip back into our old ways. It's a trap that's easily fallen into.

Wow -- sounds like an amazing change!

yup, after 20 years its essential to staying connected I think :)

I've never been into full on long sessions of sniffing, really not my thing. We still kiss loads, hold hands, touch hug and do non-snogging type kisses. We feel close.

Yes, occasionally, but as someone up thread said it can sometimes be mistaken as a precursor to something you hadn't intended.

No
We still have pecks but he has teeth issues right now and is not confident in that area at all.
Once it's all fixed I hope it will be business as usual with the snogging.
I love a good snog and miss it!

Love a good snog, my dh is a good kisser and has soft lips. Ive been married nrly 10 years.

Weeeell, we both love a good snog, but it does usually happen in bed, and then sex!

Oh God yes! Nearly 17 years and still snog/kiss much to the embarrassment of the elder madthings. I agree snogging means more sex, it just makes you re connect more and kidding just for kissing sake, I Saud on the last thread about this that dp and I often end up kissing in the kitchen when one of us is cooking dinner,

Exactly what LaQueen said

Not properly. A peck as he goes out to work.

Ooooh no I wouldn't snog unless was sex after

Dp hates snogging, I don't think our techniques are compatible. I miss it loads...It's just snogging, 100 % compatible otherwise.

XH just stopped, that and sex! But it was the actual snogging I missed but he was never great at it and in his head it always lead to more.

Me and DP 4 years down the line still snog and not just before sex. It's important to us as a couple. We really are one of those annoying couples who hold hands all the time

No. We don't really snog anymore. We do lingering lip kisses but that's as far as it goes :(

Just had a lovely snog in the kitchen when DH came home from work. It's not that often but on occasion yes.

Mmm. Sounds nice.

I'm a bloke and when my now ex and mine's sex life ceased I think I actually missed the kissing and cuddling more.

Haven't had a decent snog in years
