15 Feb 09 - 11:59 PM (#2567981) Subject: RE: BS: kissing science From: GUEST,Shoulda Listened to Myself This might get deleted but I needed to be anonymous to protect the guilty. You know, from the git go, I disliked the way my long-time partner kissed - felt like I was being sucked into a black hole. Tried to talk about it and do some coaching about what I would prefer, all to no avail. So I avoided the person's kisses, which really cut down on displays of affection that were not directly headed for sexual consumation. Next time round, if there is one, I'll give more weight to those kisses. |

16 Feb 09 - 04:51 AM (#2568064) Subject: RE: BS: kissing science From: VirginiaTam so sad, these people not engaging in kissing. maybe practice light nuzzling. pecking, gently pressing lips together, touching tips of tongues, bumping noses. then move on to stroking and kissing fingers. you don't have suck each others faces off for it to be lovely and sensual. if you feel shy with your partner, why not just say, "I miss kissing" to break the ice. if you don't feel shy, back him or her into a corner and take the kiss. then tell him or her, "I miss just kissing you." it should give your partner a lovely shiver to be so desired. |

16 Feb 09 - 05:06 AM (#2568070) Subject: RE: BS: kissing science From: Jack Campin They missed a point about the origins of kissing. A few years ago somebody sequenced the genome of the genital herpes and cold sore viruses and calculated their degree of evolutionary divergence. Genital herpes is the ancestral form, since there has been a route of transmission for it as long as there have sexually reproducing organisms. But cold sore virus is transmitted lip to lip and required kissing to have evolved before it split off from genital herpes. Turns out that the degree of divergence points to a separation 3 million years ago. |

(I gathered it was not about me, but just an attitude.) (Ain't language interesting... I find 'snogging' an awkward, slightly 'unpleasant' word. Of course, I never heard it before Mudcat brought me cross-pond contacts. Is it a common usage? And is it old or recent?) |

16 Feb 09 - 03:07 PM (#2568471) Subject: RE: BS: kissing science From: Bill D As I read it the last few years, I thought 'snogging' was more like friendly 'nuzzling' and fondling...or something vague. *IS* it just a specific euphemism for bi-labial osculation? |

16 Feb 09 - 04:33 PM (#2568539) Subject: RE: BS: kissing science From: Rowan I find 'snogging' an awkward, slightly 'unpleasant' word. In my more innocent days, kissing and necking were both words meaning the same thing although the latter was recognised as an Americanism; when snogging came along it was regarded as just a Pommy version to add to the other two. It was mostly mouth-to-mouth (like the resuscitation but premarital) but was often applied to ears, necks, eyelashes, fingers and toes; you needed privacy for other areas to be the recipients. Fondling (the Americanism for this was petting) might have been preceded, or even accompanied, by osculations but I never found out whether there was a distinctive Pommy term for it; we just presumed they did it. These activities often led to nooky, a much more interesting term than most of the others. Cheers, Rowan |

16 Feb 09 - 06:40 PM (#2568659) Subject: RE: BS: kissing science From: JennieG 'Snogging' is a term that has come from the Brits - Ozzies like a 'pash' or 'pasho'. Cheers JennieG |

16 Feb 09 - 09:44 PM (#2568780) Subject: RE: BS: kissing science From: Rowan Thanks, JennieG. It's so long since I had one that I'd forgotten about pashing. But I suspect the term is a fair bit younger than I am. Cheers, Rowan |

17 Feb 09 - 05:52 PM (#2569518) Subject: RE: BS: kissing science From: Liz the Squeak In the UK a 'pash' was a crush, usually of the non-sexual variety between a younger and an older girl or adult female. It's found a lot in the Enid Blyton type 'Mallory Towers' boarding school novels and usually described the relationship between a first year and a prefect or one of the 'Upper Fifth' form or a favourite teacher. Anyone who uses it is immediately outed as a) a product of the early 1900's boarding schools, b) a closet Enid Blyton reader or c) a gym teacher. LTS |
