can you have a happy marriage without kissing?

Hi,

Just interested in the kissing going on in your relationships, DH and I kiss very differently and no matter the conversations we have had about it we just like to kiss differently, and naturally want to go back to the style we want. I am wondering, other than a peck on the lips or a longer sort of French kiss (is that what it's called without tongues?) could we just basically abandon snogging and still have a great intimate relationship and sex life?

Do any of you not kiss and things are still good? Have any of you loved your DH but just not been a fan of the way you kiss?

Be prepared for him to say the same to you though, as he may think you are doing it wrong. As what is right or wrong?

There is no universal right way, 'tis true. There is , however, a universal wrong way, and it's in that video. *shudders at memory.

Exactly Sir Vix.

Think about all the threads asking for people's favourite movie kisses. They tend to be similar.
Everyone (quite rightly) watches the "crap kiss" video and wants to retch.

If everyone's kiss style is so different and it's all a matter of preference, where are all the posters going "Well actually the way that bloke kisses is HAWT!"

There's not a woman on this earth who wants a)Slobber/drool b)Wild stabby tongue.

I can't think what the best cinematic kiss would be IMO. Will have to mull that one over.

Not sure if this will work, I never posted a link before, but I like the kiss from the notebook.

Oooo it worked!

I've never seen the Notebook so I don't know which kiss it is.

Slobber/drool can’t be deliberate though can it? Must be some sort of salivary mal-function......yuck

I am not married 😂 but kissing is so important to me, I couldn’t not do it with a partner. Not only do I love it for affection it is part of sexual attraction for me. And a huge part of bedroom antics. I want to kiss the whole time!

As for changing kissing I have changed plenty of partners kissing. To my way 😂
I kiss them how I want to be kissed and they usually just get the hang of it?

I don’t think there is universal kissing but overall it tends to be not too much tongue but a little, swapping between tongue open mouthed and just kissing on the lips swapping sides, kissing neck in between and stuff like that surely?

yes of course you can.

i absolutely hate kissing, i have no desire to let someone stick their tongue in my mouth that’s had food, coffee etc stuck to it.

oh fuck no.

Nah. It’s not my thing. Sitting there mashing somebody’s face. Boring. Makes my lips sore and I’ve got better things to be getting on with

There's a reason prostitutes will have sex but not kiss - it is more intimate . A happy marriage without it ? Don't go down that path. Been there with my ex H.
