I think kissing to me is for intimacy for someone with LTR. That's just me. We are all different and we all change with time. I only hobby when not in relationship but that's right now. In few yrs I might still hobby if I am in relationship. I think we are all different and we want different things. i think lesson for me is to just be upfront with provider so chemistry doesn't get thrown off.
I am not talking about making out or what not. I have not ventured into it. Who knows time will change. At this point when hobbying I am into very sloppy BBBJ porn style, CIM and FBSM and CFS at times. The reason I asked cause in my most recent girl I met seemed bit disrespected when I told her I don't kiss and she said OK but her body language was not OK. Good idea in discussing this first hand.
