This is mainly a question for the guys, but you girls may want to express your opinions as well. Do you truly enjoy kissing for it’s own sake, or do you think of it more as stepping stone to other fun things? I’m not saying we all wouldn’t like to eventually score, we’re guys after all, but can you appreciate the raw, honest emotions that can be elicited by a simple kiss? I mean, it’s way too easy for most guys to confuse lust with love while you are scoring a home run…

Next time you go on a date with someone you really like, and you feel like getting lucky, try doing this first. See if you can hold at the kissing stage, even for a short while, and try to figure out what you are feeling. Are you feeling the emotions coming from her as well as you, or are you thinking about feeling her up? Do you even care about what she is feeling? When you have finished doing the do and are laying next to her in bed, what are you thinking about? Are you thinking about holding her tight, or holding the remote control? These are usually much better indicators (than being good together in bed is) of whether she is the right one for you or not. JMHO

<--------(waiting to hear what they all say...)

i agree and i think that kissing just for the sake of kissing is a lost art, like romance with most men

Thats interesting. I'll remember to keep that in mind.

<<waiting too..but I don't think they'll remember all the questions

Considering it's been a while since I've had ANY kissing... I think that'd be swell to do. Doesn't matter about the sex, without good kissing, there's nothing there... Kissing is almost MORE intimate, when the passion is right.

good you can remind me 2

I don't have to think about the remote control in the bedroom... I don't have a TV in there. (=

He shoots! He scores!! The crowd goes wild!!!

Woo Hoo. Someone who really knows....

oh..and if they aren't a good kisser..... the thought of bed is nill.

I can definitely appreciate a good snog even if it doesn't go any further...

Yeah, see how far THAT mindset has gotten me? <eyeroll> LoL

Our lips meet,
the first tender touch
Held no hint or promise
Of another, of your sweet caress.

this is well said! i like it

The very first kiss,I do not recall,
for I, you see was very small.
But someone was happy to welcome me in,
to a place in their heart where empty had been.

The next, I remember was painful and long,
I could not imagine just what had gone wrong.
He said that he loved me but he couldn't stay,
And that was the kiss, that took trusting away.

And then I remember that kisses were gone,
and started to wonder if kisses were wrong.
Instead of beginnings, they seemed to mark ends,
and thats where you'd lose all your family and friends.

Then I learned kissing was merely a key,
that opened the door to what soon was to be.
First step taken in the journey of love, one more kiss and I would understand.

A kiss is a promise of things that should be,
A kiss is bond that is so strong....its free.
A kiss is a comfort that loving hearts bear,
A kiss is a promise, you'll always be there.

A kiss, like a rainbow...comes one at a time,
and each one is special and has it's own rhyme.
They should never be wasted on lips that speak lies,
or used to wipe tears from deceitful, cold eyes.

They never should comfort a heart full of greed,
or land on the cheek, of one with no need.
They never should promise what cannot be kept,
or make better the tears that should not have been wept.

I'm sure there is something inside of a kiss,
that somehow in my life,I seemed to have missed.
But life is not over and one day I'll see,
that even a kiss holds a meaning for me

So if you should wonder why kisses are few,
please don't feel slighted, I do this for you.
I know you would rather have one kiss thats meant,
than a thousand ones empty, and hastily spent.

Merci`
