That’s precisely why I avoided that “other” smilie…

Perhaps we can all pitch into prevent another one of America’s youth from falling into perversion and sin. I, personally, will pay **dare\_devil** and her young man $1 for every month during which they kiss but go no further.

After the line about blowjobs, I don’t think **dare\_devil007\_** needs any more impetus…

[sub]However would anyone prove it?[/sub]

She’s only 15. No blowjobs, please.

Let’s not tarnish her just yet. That can wait after her heart gets broken for the first time, and she goes out for her first “revenge kiss.”

Um, I gotta agree with **dare\_devil007\_** on this one. When physical intimacy is used as an expression of tender affection between two (or more) individuals, it’s sweet. Positively adorable, even. But in this case it sounds more like the simple pursuit of gratification, despite the friendly relationship between the people involved. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but such behavior is simply [not cute](http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp01122004.shtml).

_ **Warning** _: If you thought the comment on blowjobs was disgustingly inappropriate, you may be better off avoiding the above link entirely. On the other hand, Milholland’s tasteless humor has the redeeming value of being friggin’ _hilarious_.

Erm, first of all, Jake and I go to a Christian school and secondly, our parents have brought us up pretty strictly on the whole premarital sex thing. Trust me, we are definitely _ **not** _ going any farther than kissing. We’ve already talked about not going farther than we want to.

Good for you. I’m turning 37, I’ve been saving myself and I have no regrets.

Just remember that, the next time someone says that “Everyone is doing it.”

Whatever they want to do is strictly up to them, but I’d just like to say I’d much rather teenagers were swapping blowjobs than having vaginal sex.

(Needless to say, if you don’t feel comfortable having sex at all, staying celibate is exactly what you should be doing. Kudos.)

First girlfriend? Pretty nice kisser. Not **The Kiss**.

Second girlfriend? Goodness me, how to be polite about this? She had a bad case of S.M.D. ( Salivary Management Dysfunction ). The girl drooled. Into my mouth. Say no more. :eek:

To be honest, I didn’t get **The Kiss** that made me dizzy till I was 35. That’s a drag. When you get **it** , you’ll know it. It doesn’t make you horny necessarily but it is an entirely elevating experience. It made me dizzy. Elated. Calm. Soothed. Centered. In touch with my Ka.

I cannot forsee ever knowing a kiss like that again, although on the open-ended Richter Scale of smooches, even a non- **The Kiss** kiss can make a person see with clarity unknown for months or years. Why, it could happen at any moment ! Two days ago or ten years from now ! Just you wait and see !

Kissing Buddies. At the age of 15, that is exactly about on speed from where I sit. I love the idea that you want to just just only kiss. The rest can wait. As previously stated, kissing is the living end. It’s not just sexual, it’s endearing, romantic, torrid, sweet, lingering, rife with portent.

It’s what separates us from every other animal except for [Kissing Gouramis](http://www.aquariumfish.net/images_01/pink_kissers.jpg).

Last summer I had a really great kiss with someone. It was probably the first time I had the guts to initiate a kiss where the timing was absolutely _perfect_…I mean, you don’t want to get ahead of yourself and rush things, then you get the rejection from the other person (the infamous head-turn or full-reverse 😛 ) and if you take too long you either miss your chance or the other person smooches you…which is not so bad either, but I tell you, there’s definitely something great about _initiating_ a kiss and timing it very well. 😃

I shall show this thread to my girlfriend.

She will smile and giggle.

And then _I_ will be the one getting the spectacular kiss! You see this - I am the evil!

I need a diabolical smiley here…

I’m with **Ogre** - I can’t make up my mind if this is sweet or sacharine.  
I feel the need to get irredemably dirty right now, though, so it must be tickling what is left of my ‘Oh, that’s soo cute’ gland.

**Dare\_devil007\_** - Go out and give your kiss buddy a nice big smooch the next time you see him! A Kiss-Buddy is soo cool, and I wish I would have thought of it when I was your age. Lots of girls liked to kiss me, but they all wanted to go steady!

Bye the bye - I gotta say waiting IMO is a pretty good idea. I had sex first when I was 15, and I was really unprepared for it. So bravo on the choice! But do please be ready that if your ‘no’ changes to a ‘yes’ to use protection. That should be non-negotiable at your age!
