    I think that people who feel that way have “reduced” sex into an act that feels good.

    Kissing doesn’t necessarily feel good as far as sensation goes, it’s the romance and intimacy that makes it feel good. You can’t really reduce it to just a way to feel good.

    Kissing is fucking weird. That’s why we always put on football helmets and bump face masks instead.

    The high dopamine release/raised baseline during kissing is second only to thar experienced at orgasm.

    For me, it’s the simple feeling of soft lips on mine

    There are various types of intimacy. It’s not a scale system. Sometimes, having sex isn’t about intimacy. Sometimes, it’s about gratification. Kissing is very much the same. Some kisses are more intimate than others. It all depends on the partner and the context.

    Love. You will be in shock how many people have loveless sex for the sake of sex or kink and not love, having sex can make you feel maybe horny or happy it won’t specifically make you feel love for someone. In the other hand most of the time kissing is something to show the other person romantic interest and love (Of course not all the time but still way more than sex)

    well sex sometimes can feel intimidating because it’s an intense form of intimacy (like think of it as levels: hold hands, hugging, kissing, touching in certain areas and then sex). slow foreplay feels more sensual and makes you hornier because you’re so impatient and kissing when it becomes desperate is extremely attractive? don’t get me wrong i do not think sex is less intimate, i would not get into bed with random people. i think other women would feel the same way when i say touching and making out can often get us going even more than intercourse, like think breathing each other in, holding each other tightly, riled up and impatient to get inside the other ???

    I’m no expert on kissing but I did have my first kiss last week. Somehow it was so overwhelming and a flood of emotions rushed through my body. It was….perfect.

    Kissing is intimate. It makes me feel connected. Close. It’s special and soft. It’s hungry and needy.
    It can be all the things.
    As someone with very high sensory perception, it’s about the taste and feel of his lips and tongue. The wetness and heat combined with mine. His facial hair, our hand placement. The sounds I make without meaning to. The way my body moves against his and molds in. It’s erotic. Exotic. Whatever. It’s incredible.

    I miss that.

    Depends on who it is I suppose.

    I also really think it depends on the person.
    Kissing often is so much more about connection than sex.
    Yes sex of cause also can be this but often it has the goal to fulfill the purpose of being sexually satisfied and having an orgasm. Sure on the way you can feel a strong connection but it’s not necessarily needed to “achieve” what many people want from sex.

    I can kiss much longer than two minutes.
