Do you still make out with your SO?

3 years (ish) here. Nope. We don’t do that anymore. I miss it, too.

We kiss and hug quite frequently, but making out for a lengthy period? No, not really. It’s always as a prelude to sex.

In fact, we never did much of just making out. We were grownups when we started dating; had sex on our 2nd date; and have been having sex ever since. I can’t think of a circumstance ever where we’d have time to make out (with tongue and groping), but not time to go ahead and have sex.

14 years. Sure do.

Of course. It’s not some animal that’s been run over or something, ferchrissakes. Just go make out!

Wait, do you mean … that the desire is gone? Is that what you’re asking about resurrecting? Cuz that’s a whole nother thread.

I’ve been married longer than some of y’all have been alive, and my lovely bride and I still ‘make out’.
It is much easier now that the offspring have all sprung off.

However, our canine masters DO get jealous when we are kissing on the couch.
It is quite odd to have a terrier push her way in between you and your spouse in the middle of a kiss.

But we still stroke each other in passing, and I NEVER leave home without kissing her goodbye in a manner that reminds her that she is married and loved.

Interesting that some of the more “physical” relationships are also some of the longest. Cause and effect?

I don’t get the comments about it seeming immature. I think making out is fun in and of itself. I’ve only been with a girl for 2 years at most but we never stopped. It seemed like two years of making out punctuated by fighting.

Cause if I plant my lips on him he’s gonna expect a visit to the bedroom, is why.

It’s not an “unmet need” I assure you - it’s just something he noted jokingly a few days ago. We still grope each other all the time and kiss often and hold hands and have wonderful sex - he just thought it was a bit odd that we don’t “kiss with tongue” for extended periods like we used to. Or that if we do, it seems a little awkward, like we’re teenagers again. :slight_smile:

To be fair, in our “making out” phase we were usually fairly tipsy, so maybe it seems easier when you’re a bit drunk.

We tried practicing but ended up giggling too hard to get anywhere. :smack:

If you are talking specifically about tongue kissing–we don’t really do that. But we never did much of that, except maybe very early in the relationship when we were finding out what each other like.

I’ve been married 14 years and we don’t. It is one of several (ok, many) problems the marriage has.

This. TMI:

We only make out while she’s coming.

Yup. After 46 years of marriage, we often start the day by “making out” before getting out of bed. Less commonly late at night.

I don’t really enjoy extended makeout sessions that much. Don’t get me wrong, I still like kissing and kissing several times in a row can be enjoyable but 5-10 minutes? At that point it just gets wet and sloppy. Bleh.

“Like a dog eating spaghetti.” :smiley:

Line from a recent This American Life about the young introduction to making out.

3 years together, going on 1 year married. And hell yes, though maybe not as often as when we were long-distance and had lost time to make up for. I’d be very sad if we didn’t. :slight_smile:

On the lips? No.

We rarely make out without sex because once we get started it’s hard to stop. Sometimes I actively avoid making out because I’m not in the mood to finish the act and he’ll pout if we don’t.
I sure do miss it.
It’s always been this way with us though, from the beginning as soon as we had sex for the first time. He’s insatiable.

That can be fun too! We make out every now and again but not on a regular basis. Our make out sessions are much more humorous. For instance, my new thing is to stand about 10 feet away from him and start humming the Jaws theme, slowly getting closer and closer as the song speeds up until I yell “NOM!” and start kissing and nomming his neck. Then we spend 10 or 15 minutes laughing and giggling and kissing and tickling and…well, you get the idea. This rarely leads to sex but there is always a lot of affectionate kissing and physical contact. We also have a standing rule that whenever one of us feels the need for snuggles the other one stops whatever they are doing and we go lay down and snuggle together for 5 or 10 minutes.

This is how I feel exactly. My wife and I snuggle and smooch and touch each other and have sex. No in between “making out,” which does seem kinda immature and bleh to me.
