    I was wondering what your thoughts were on kissing. I myself kiss anyone that asks and it doesn't mean much to me. I think i would hesitate to kiss someone i like though. What are you views on it. Open interpretation.

    Well, it could just be that the first couple of times that I kissed guys, they were in casual sexual encounters, but I wasn't all that excited. Making out just doesn't excite me all that much, but I am happy to do for a partner who wants that (which is like most people). I see it as a time to work on technique.

    I prefer cuddling more, and that's my intimate thing.

    Perhaps you should go to France, because there it is much less intimate than we consider it. Although I suppose you mean more than just a cheek peck...

    So like what is it that you don't consider a big deal? Lips-only or even farther?

    Kissing isn't much to me, but it depends on the circumstances. Making out at a party generally doesn't mean anything.

    I like being physical because i think it means you really care about people and you want to show it more then saying it.

    Kissing can mean a lot or a little depending on who I'm kissing and how I feel about them. I can and do enjoy doing it casually, though I've never done it at a party or in public.

    I'm extremely self-conscious about kissing, probably because I've never really did it yet. I think I might have pecked some best friends on the cheek two or three times in my life and the rest is just close family when they basically ask for it.
    Physical contact: wanted, needed and feared, sadly.

    I'll kiss someone important to me as a sign of affection, but I don't like it. I only do it if they want it, cause I think its gross.

    I've only really experienced kissing in a casual context (and, admittedly I was intoxicated most of the time - not proud of that). I think it is as much of a deal as you want it to be.

    I think it can be a big deal when you are taking it slow and trying to be serious with someone.. mainly because I get so nervous about it...
     
  13. ive kissed a few people casually just for the fun of it when i was younger but it doesnt mean much to me. a kiss is a kiss.

    but if it was a proper passionate kiss with someone who i was interested in then it would be different. but generally speaking no its not a big deal to me.

    Kissing isn't that big of a deal to me. I've kissed quite random people at parties. I liked it, but it's not like it's extremely exciting.

    However, kissing someone you love is a whole other story. I mean it still isn't a real big deal, but it can definitely be verrryyy exciting. It can be passionate, it can be affectionate and sweet.. *sigh* A good kiss or make out session is awe-some, and will almost always end up in more. If you're with someone you love, that is.. those kisses are completely different than random/casual ones.

    All the kisses I've ever had have always been a big deal, since I really liked the person I was kissing, so I guess I would say they're a big deal for me. I have a hard time "letting people in," if you will, so if I get comfortable enough with someone to kiss them, that's a pretty big milestone in the relationship.

    I feel very similarly. Kissing someone you are in love with is a big deal. You can feel it over every part of your body and it creates a closeness. Albeit it might have been a bigger deal for me because I didn't kiss her for the first time until after I was already in love.

    To me, kissing is a powerful tool to make people feel Wow and to make them want more. I'm not indifferent about kissing but it can be with or without love, that doesn't matter.
    Cuddling, however, is more related to emotions (to me). I will cuddle with a friend, a lover, even a stranger that I like but I won't cuddle with somebody I don't like.

    It depends. I've definitely kissed some people casually, but it's usually under the influence of drugs or alcohol (not usually my thing, but it's happened a few times when I was younger) and it didn't go any further than that (I've had casual sex twice, but I was interested in it becoming more, so I don't know if that counts.).

    There are definitely people that have wanted to kiss me, and I've either said no or made it clear that it wasn't going to happen.

    When it's somebody I'm interested in, it's a huge deal!

    Kissing to me, isn't a big deal. I would kiss anyone if they wanted to I guess, as long as they & I were both single. If I liked them though, I think I would take a second to decide..
