Is kissing important to you?

I ask because I just had a friend tell me that I am shallow because I broke up with a guy after kissing him twice. I couldn't help it, though - I just couldn't imagine ever wanting to kiss him again. He kissed like a freaking St. Bernard! Seriously, my whole face was wet and it was just such a complete turn-off. How can you possibly continue a relationship and never kiss?

Kissing is very important to me. I have to feel a connection with the other person through kissing, or it's not going to work. I think that kissing is special because it's one thing that distinguishes humans from animals. It shows caring and appreciation.

I agree with you both on that 100%. Kissing is a HUGE deal for me. No he doesn't have to be Valentino, although I definitely wouldn't mind - but definitely no slobbering St. Bernard.

That would have led to the same thing for me too. Its not that my man has to be the best kisser in the world but that it has to be genuine. It has to reflect his feelings for me, and if he comes off as a puppy or a cold fish, well I'm not interested.

...And what's the big deal is? Heh,Are you guys looking for kissers or "Boyfriends".If boyfriends,The "Kissing" part comes automatically

I have a friend who tags every guy she meets as " BF " and kisses him.ON lips,on chest,on thighs,and...Where not! Every where! She changes her BF every 3-4 days.I hate her.But she's my friend.. *nods*

And,For me,I dont think kissing is a big part in my relationship.Trust,is what it matters.If you trust him that he can kiss you and please you (It rhymes!) then everything else works.

So yeah,Trust :*

Agreed. Kissing isn't the biggest part of a relationship, But it's sure as hell up there! Aside from sex it's the most affection two people share.

Kissing is supposed to be pleasurable and enjoyable. It goes hand in hand with... Well walking hand in hand on the beach or snuggling up on the couch in front of the telly or before bed. My partner and I are always kissing. Im pretty sure most couples do. Not like a full on snog-fest but the usuals. Lets count how many in a day...
1. Good morning kiss
2. Goodbye kiss
3. Hello kiss,
4. Thanks for dinner kiss,
5. Goodnight kiss
6&7.I love you kiss and cheer up babe its almost the weekend kiss

So all up you're kissing around 7x a day, give or take couple. multiply that by a week and you got 49 or multiply that by a year and you have 2555 kisses all up, not including kisses during sex. Valentines, birthdays and other special occasions... Thats a lot of unpleasurable, slobbering, disgusting kissing to put up with if you're with someone who doesn't know how to kiss.

Besides if the kissing isn't down pat, God only knows what he'll be like in the sack!! Lol. It's the build up to sex as well. How are you supposed to get in the mood if you have a slobbering mess on your hands?

^ Agreed with Maniac. My lips would get burn if he totally sucked my lips O.o

*shrugs*

I would never let that happen to me. O__o

Heh,Maniac! You're so wild! I'll never kissed some one on his lips..But hell yeah I did it on the cheeks. The truth is,I didnt even wanted to get close to a person.Another thing matter a lot in "Kissing" is that his breath and YOUR breath.If he stinks,trust me,you DO NOT want to let your him kiss you!
Anyway,That's my view.If your boyfriend is a good kisser,than Congratz,if not...Teach him

(Hehhh)

kissing is a huge part of a relationship its what makes it passionate also, say your boyfriends been away for a while come back you give him a big hug but no kiss just doesnt make sense, a bad kisser is a very big turn off! x

What? You dumped your boyfriend just because he is a bad kisser? Steffi, I think you might miss out someone nice there. Just because he is a bad kisser does not mean that he cannot learn to be a great kisser. You might also teach and lead him to become a better kisser since from what you wrote here, you like such an activity.

With him around, both of you can frequently practice the kissing act!

I don't think you can really teach someone how to kiss. They either can or they can't. Besides how would you recommend telling someone that you don't like their kissing? I should think that would be meaner.
