Kissing.... so underrated!

Sooooooooo I’ve been ‘seeing’ an old flame. Known each other since we were 16 and over 20 years later and had several flings that fizzled for minor reasons, but this time it’s so different.
It’s like there’s electric between us (as always) but we are taking things sooooo so so slowly.
And oh my, 6 weeks after initially bumping into each other again, seeing each other once a week, speaking everyday, always having a text convo on the go... on Saturday he kissed me.
Oh my gosh, it was amazing.
Not a full full on snog, just a slow lingering kiss on the lips. And when I opened my eyes, I drowned in his.
Feel like a teenager again!!! Full of butterflies and everything!

Can we just take a moment to discuss the joy of kissing.

I don’t have many friends and none that I’ll see -apart from him- so can’t hush over it with anyone in RL... so please endulge me!

Ahhhh I feel like I’m dancing on a cloud!

I went out with someone whose kisses were just sensational- I'd say better than sex, but tbh he was the superlative in bed too. Sadly, very sadly, he was extremely dull in every other regard, so had to go. My god I miss his kisses tho.

OhMyDarling · 10/06/2019 18:48

I just keep reliving it... didn’t realise I missed kissing so much!

Oo OP I remember that feeling.
Back in the past, I too, went out with someone who kissed sensationally. It's not common, doesn't happen with everyone and is a wonderful thing when you find someone who you can kiss like that. Sadly, we were on different paths in life, so we parted ways, but I'll always remember... dream

Justkeeprollingalong · 10/06/2019 18:52

I love my husband of 40 years but I really miss that feeling and feel quite sad that I probably won't experience it again.

HampshireSun · 10/06/2019 18:53

Kissing is so underrated!!! Lips are so sensitive! ... enjoy!

Franwith2and1 · 10/06/2019 18:54

OMG I spent years not kissing my ex as it did nothing for me, then bang I met my current partner and he took my breath away. I was talking nervously like an idiot and he just kind of jumped in and kissed me, moved his lips a bit and carried on. No one has kissed me like that ever and two years later yum yum. It’s always been important to me!

Runkle · 10/06/2019 18:56

Oh yes. I remember a date with my French ex where I was trying to be good and not let him in my flat so we spent literally nearly an hour just snogging on my doorstep..magical.

Michaelbaubles · 10/06/2019 18:58

My exH was not a good or enthusiastic kisser but current DP is both! 2 years on and I still like a good kiss at any opportunity. I’ve heard couples say they’ve never actually kissed “properly” and that makes me really sad.

Chelsea26 · 10/06/2019 18:59

Kissing is excellent and I’m very much enjoying kissing my newish (1y) boyfriend ALL the time. We kissed on our first date and oh my!! He’s very tall and I had to reach right up and seriously wow!!

As often happens I think my exh and I stopped kissing, or I think I stopped kissing him because we could never just kiss, it always seemed like a precursor to all the rest...

Just kissing is amazing and all the rest is amazing too right now!!

Enjoy it OP

aufaitaccompli · 10/06/2019 18:59

Kissing rocks! I think it's about finding someone who instinctively kisses the way you do, or close to anyway.. it's so good to start with affectionate kissing, moving on to proper snogging... not too much drool though. Boke!

I've not had a good kiss in a couple of years... was always complimented on my skills Blush

yearinyearout · 10/06/2019 19:02

You are so right. Nothing beats a good snog in my book...but sadly DH doesn't see the point in just kissing for kissing's sake 😐

ThatCurlyGirl · 10/06/2019 19:13

Proper good kisses are fucking magical. Finding someone who kisses the way you do with the same level of intensity is just the loveliest feeling ever!

ItsMeAnnie · 10/06/2019 19:14

Oh yes, I can so relate to this. The man I'm seeing is the most amazing kisser. I get that feeling in the pit of my stomach just thinking about the way he kisses me. As a previous poster said, I think kissing is about two people being compatible in how they kiss, rather than one person being good at kissing, if you see what I mean. When you're compatible with your partner you can respond in the way they like and vice versus. So incredible. Enjoy.

TheSheepHaveEyes · 10/06/2019 19:16

My current partner is an amazing kisser, I could just kiss him forever Grin We didn't kiss on our first date (both too shy), but he met me very briefly between our first and second dates to give a book to me that he'd recommended, and moved in for a kiss. I was literally blown away! I think I could probably take some of the credit for the good kissing, though Wink

My STBXH, not so much. I don't think we kissed for the last two years of our marriage. I always found kissing him a bit nothing.

BasinHaircut · 10/06/2019 19:17

I once went out with a bloke who was an amazing kisser, very talented at foreplay etc, but like someone else said upthread we were on very different paths in life so it didn’t work out.

His penis was tiny - and I mean tiny - but I genuinely didn’t care because he was so good at everything else he could have done without it entirely!

Ninkaninus · 10/06/2019 19:20

Yes, kissing is intensely erotic and is one of the most exciting things one can do, if one does it properly. Particularly in a long term relationship, actually, as it’s often something that falls by the wayside.

We have a proper kissing session on a fairly regular basis and it really gets us both going. It’s very intimate in a way that nothing else is.

Mmmmm I’m in the mood for a kiss now!

CookPassBabtridge · 10/06/2019 19:25

I once spent from 10am to 6pm kissing someone on the bed, it was amazing. Both had big lips so it felt so good.. I couldn't believe the time when I looked at the clock.

I went out with a guy who was perfect in all other areas, amazing personality but not a good kisser and had really thin lips.. I never enjoyed kissing him and it affected my attraction to him.

VictoriaBun · 10/06/2019 19:29

I've been with my oh for 20 years. He isn't really a kisser but did in the early days. Haven't had a good snog for 15 years 😢😢

aufaitaccompli · 10/06/2019 19:36

Lightening bolt, air charged with electric....I remember it so well.
Fingers crossed for positive change for those of us missing kissing, like me Grin

Eesha · 10/06/2019 20:03

I'm with a FWB who I seem to have a real kissing connection with. He has had many sexual partners but he said it was more about DTD than ever really kissing so it's a totally new experience for him and me.
TBH we could spend an entire night just kissing. I love it!

AnneLovesGilbert · 10/06/2019 20:08

It’s amazing with the right person. I’ll never forget my first kiss with DH and it’s still magical years later. Enjoy OP!

Closetbeanmuncher · 10/06/2019 21:39

Nothing like a tornado tongue 😹

Jersy · 10/06/2019 22:14

Kissing. My favourite thing.

Bit old and single now [sad little face!].

But it was always the best thing of all.

Hugely under-rated as you say OP.

Indeed, the joys of kissing.

frenchonion · 10/06/2019 22:23

I've never been a kisser, I think down to crap kissing partners who were also not kissers. But my DP...oh my! The kissing! Gives me fanny gallops just thinking about it.
