I've experienced the wide open mouth and no tongue thing as well. It's odd, isn't it?
Alright. What I like is something that starts rather slow. Although I've done some wild kissing and enjoyed it, if I had to tell of what I like to strangers without knowing them, I would like to emphasize that I'm very female and womanly.
Which means, I can be moody with kissing at times. It's not my fault!!!
So if someone is being somewhat aggressive and kissing me hard, sometimes I like it but other times, it can actually hurt me.
If there is some sort of connection and the chemistry is there, it's usually a very masculine and feminine thing for me. I wish that I was bisexual but I'm not and so when a man is being just ... well, masculine and gentle at the same time, I go nuts.
That is why, sometime, I can lose my focus when I'm doing dominate work. If a man kisses me nicely, or even better than nicely, I WANT HIM in "that" way.
(And it's more often than not that I don't do that!)
I also like the touching of the face (but don't lick my face, yuck!) and the touching of my head and hair. It's an intimate touch.
And I like to play with his cock and balls while kissing. Also, caressing his skin and hair. It's all encompassing.
Sometimes, good kissing can take me into another sphere where there isn't any time or space. It's just the moment of sensations and caring and enjoyment. It's very real to me at the time.
I'm smiling while writing this. Great topic!
