I’ve made out with two girls, both when I was doing a summer program in Edinburgh. Lots of alcohol was involved. I don’t know if I’d do it again. ---

> [@Skald\_the\_Rhymer](#): > > I do, however, which to specify that “kissing” here refers to lip-to-lip contact involving at least one of your tongues entering the other’s mouth. Was not expecting “kissing” to be defined. Especially not like this. In light of this definition, I voted wrong. No tongue kissing in my personal history. ---

I am straight but would under the right circumstances with the right man. I am bi-curious but haven’t acted on it so far for several reasons. And yes lips and tongues will be heavily used if I ever get the chance. ---

Straight female. Never been asked to kiss by another woman, never felt moved to offer to kiss another woman. Now, the topless backrubs a friend and I have shared on multiple occasions is another story. ---

I’ve never kissed another woman on the lips, but your choices don’t really work for me. I’d have no objection to kissing a woman on the lips if I found her attractive (and it wouldn’t just be a bet-winning thing) but with _tongues_? No way. Of course, I wouldn’t do that with a man who wasn’t the spouse, either. In general I find tongue-type kissing kind of icky. I don’t even eat after people who aren’t my spouse. ---

I don’t like tongue kissing with anyone either, but oh well. I have a bet to win. I don’t see what difference it makes whether the person is your husband or your boyfriend though. ---

Doesn’t bother me. Tried it, while sober- quite fun, would have no issues about doing it again, so long as she wasn’t interested in going further. Ok, maybe then too if it was Liv Tyler. ---

Kiss, yes, but with tongue, no. I’m generally straight but with the right guy in the right situation- which would include my wife- I’d mess around sexually with another guy, but probably not kiss him with tongues. ---

Without tongue, many times, a few of those times, on the lips, even. _ **With** _ tongue, not yet. And don’t anticipate it ever happening. But my Mom taught me to ‘Never, say never.’ 😉 ---

Well, I’ve never met anyone of my gender, but one time, at camp, the nurses had a kissing booth for the carnival. I honestly don’t remember whether lips were specifically locked, or not, but I _am_ certain there was no tongue. ---

I’d certainly kiss a guy for “my wife and I never have to work again to maintain our current lifestyle indefinitely” money. I’d want to pick the guy, though. ---

I don’t think I could do it. It’s not so much: “Ew Manlips! Gross!” I just don’t like physical contact in general no matter what your gender or your intentions. My wife has unrestricted access and I can’t explain why. My kids? Other family? Tentative hugs at best. Probably a trust/intimacy thing. ---

I have and I would (assuming that my husband was good with it). Not really 100% straight, though (since the only reason to go to first base with a woman is to get to second, boobies are wonderful things). ---

I’m going to interpret ‘with tongue’ to mean ‘not a casual friendship/family/platonic kiss’. I’m not terribly into french kissing anyone. I voted ‘might to win a bet or whatnot’, but now that I’m pondering it I may have done it before, in a bar near me when me and another guy were feeling up this a friend of ours. But if I did, I did it for the same reason I like to grab boobs and butts - I like making people react. (I honestly don’t remember if I kissed her or not. We didn’t make out.) There are a few woman that I wouldn’t push away if they initiated it.
