Snogging before sex

Random question for married couples with multiple kids. How often do you ‘snog’ I was just watching tv and there was a couple passionately snogging and I just realised we never do! Even sex is not much kissing like before, it’s just getting straight to it. I miss the passion feeling. Do most couples just get like this after kids or is it just us Confused

I can’t stand kissing.

Most of the times people have rank breath, a brown or green tongue and the thought of food being mushed about makes me feel sick.

You can't snog without tongues, that's kissing not snogging.

Married 20 years and regularly snog, always before sex but sometimes just a quick one in an ad break.

I'm married with 2 kids. We've been together (lived together) for nearly 10 years. We still snog a lot, that is before and during every sex, which is 1-2 a week usually, sometimes more, sometimes less as we have 2 small children.

I always thought snogging meant with tongues. And only do it with sex I hadn't realised we don't do it until this post

Kissing is my favourite. Every day, in some form whether or not sex is involved. And I refuse to use that horrendous word for it Grin

A couple of times he’s made me orgasm purely through passionately kissing me.

RUS that's a seriously good kisser

This thread is making me very sad. I've been single since the end of my (abusive) marriage nearly 7 years ago 😞

I'm a really tactile person & miss touch so much. My ex was utterly appalling but was very good at kissing / sex, which continued a lot longer than it should have as I was desperate to connect with him in some way. I always loved kissing & it would have happened frequently (before things got incredibly awful - well the whole marriage was incredibly awful, but the last two years was basically without any affection, before that there was).

I had these romantic notions of meeting someone but can't see it. People are always amazed I don't date & I am confident about my looks etc but I've no chance (3 kids, almost no time alone) and my self-esteem and ability to trust anyone are shot to pieces.

I'm glad to see the stories of affection & snogging here!

tinyvulture out of interest, how is your sex life good if your DH ianot physically affectionate? Don't you need lots of physical affection and attention during sex? Surely it is not just 'shove it it'?

Right, so tongues do go in but not much? No idea why this is bothering me so much 😁

Still not understanding how snogging happens without tongues - non tonguers please give an explanation of how you 'snog'. Totally perplexed

Don't ram your tongue down their throat to tonsil level. I don't mind it at all, wife hates it, well most of the time.

Been married 21 years and we still do a lot, probably every day and not just before and during sex.

We often end up having a random snog in the kitchen or, we'll just anywhere really (no, not in public, thats just tacky!!).

Same OP. I love kissing my DH and he’s very very good at it but doesn’t like to do it ! He says it makes him feel claustrophobic. I “refuse” to have sex without kissing upfront so we do but as soon as he thinks he can get it over with it’s no more kissing and just DTD.

Not married but living together, only been together two years, and no, sadly we don’t snog apart from before or during sex - sometimes not even then. It’s sad because I love snogging - I fondly remember us snogging on my sofa when we first got together (although even that progressed upstairs quite quickly).

Think the problem is that my bloke isn’t naturally very physically affectionate (he is aware of this, and does make an effort as he knows I miss it, but.....) If one day we were out or something and he just grabbed me and snogged me, I would LOVE that - but to be honest i’m thrilled if he just touches me on the shoulder. And while he says he enjoys me being physically affectionate (massaging his hand while we are watching TV etc), going for a full-on snog would feel too much for me, because of how he is.

Our sex life is good however, and we get on really really well. I fancy him like mad!

I do remember my ex husband and I, even after over 10 years and a child together, snogging much much more. (Trouble was, he was always snogging other people too, I found out........)

We properly kiss (hate the word snog, but yes, that!) once or twice a day, usually in the kitchen while making tea or on the sofa watching TV, plus lots of smaller kisses and hugs throughout the day.

Definitely before and during sex. A couple of times he’s made me orgasm purely through passionately kissing me.

And weirdly I like it when we accidentally bump teeth or it’s a bit too tongue-y Grin almost like the worse the kiss is, the more it turns me on Blush

Love a good snog!
Together 16 years, 2 kids and both around 50.
Always before/during sex, but also just because lots of times a week. Lots of quick pecks too and holding hands. We both like to be physically close to each other and are both very tactile people. It's whatever suits you isn't it.
