Anyone have a problem with Kissing?

Recommended Posts

My wife and I have been talking about swinging and giving it open consideration. We both feel that we are secure it our relationship and our desire to experiment.

 

My problem forms from sex can't feel like cheating to me, it is no different from playing a board game for emotional meaning, however kissing is VERY emotional to me. I find myself feeling jealous or upset at the idea of my wife kissing other men.

 

Anyone else out there feel this way? Any advice from people who have overcome this?

First of all, :Welcome: from Oklahoma, JDStevie! We're glad you've joined us and hope you'll stop by the Introductions Forum and tell us more about yourselves.

 

Kissing requires an emotional leap for some couples. Some have rules against it. Each couple must decide whether or not to include it in their play. Realize, however, that a hard rule against kissing may cause some couples (ourselves included) to pass on an opportunity to play with y'all. I wouldn't want the responsibility of having to remember not to kiss. Such a rule can also be a potential problem should arousal overtake emotional control and you or your wife suddenly realize you've begun kissing a playmate with open mouths and dancing tongues.

 

We enjoy kissing as much as intercourse and couldn't imagine having sex without including it. It wouldn't be complete for us.

 

It might help for y'all to define the meaning of kissing as the two of you see it. In our case, when Mrs. Alura and I kiss it's a way of saying, "I love you." When we kiss other people it's a way of saying, "let's get hot!" There's no obvious difference in the physical act just like there's no difference in the act of intercourse. There's a world of difference in our mindsets.

 

Several times I've asked couples with a rule against kissing, "If you don't kiss, what do you do to get aroused?" I've never heard a satisfactory (to me) answer.

 

In my opinion, the emotion of jealousy is in one's mind and can be controlled. In swinging, it must be, so discuss your feelings with your wife and make a decision. Whatever it is, we're glad to have you and your wife in the lifestyle and, particularly, here on the Swingers Board.

Kissing is just part of sex for us. You use your mouth for other forms of sex? What the difference between sticking a tongue in your mouth or a tit or penis or pussy or whatever?

 

If there was a hangup it would be you don't know where (ick) :eek:their privates have been and don't want it in your mouth.:eek::lol: That's just my opinion. I am sure some people have emotional ties to kissing and want to keep it special. For us it doesn't matter, what's the difference?

Hey there, and :welcome3: to the board JDStevie!! We're so glad you found our little corner of the world!!

 

You're very right in that kissing is a very personal emotional act. Some find it too emotional to share with others while others (like us) find it hot and exciting. :) In fact, like the Alura's, I'm afraid we'd pass you up for playmates because we enjoy it so much and one of us would forget the rules and mess something up. We'd rather do what comes naturally.

 

It's all about what you're comfortable with. When Mr. LFM and I decided to start swinging, I was the one that banned kissing. Why? Because I felt like you. I thought it would be too emotional for me to witness my husband kissing another woman. In all honesty, it was my insecurity. I wanted to keep that one thing special between me and my man. :)

 

Actually, when I thought about it, there was more that is kept between him and me than just kissing. I know that we have a love bond so strong that nobody is going to take that away. Nothing is going to come between us and that love. He will always come home with me. The no kissing rule was banned when we talked about my insecurity soon after we started swinging. :) It was easy actually. It's like the act of sex itself... I actually find it erotic to see him kissing another woman. In fact, he's a great kisser and I'm always glad to share him with another woman. :)

 

How does your wife feel about kissing?

Hi there, and welcome to the forums!

 

When my Wife and I started out a couple months back, that was actually one of our starter rules (before we'd done anything). During our first "coupling", things were a little awkward while we were starting play as (I realize now) kissing was part of our "warmup", so we were both kind of lost as to where to start. We both looked at each other, and nodded... I knew exactly what that meant. I suppose the point is that we found that if you're jumping into a completely new situation and trying to change your normal sexual behavior at the same time, it may be more difficult and cause more anxiety. Funny enough, after everything was said and done she told me that seeing me kiss the other lady was the most arousing thing she'd seen that evening... Go figure!

 

No matter what you decide, make sure you're both in constant communication about your wants, dislikes and feelings in general. It will make things go smoother, and help you stay focused on enjoying the experience.

 

Good luck!

Honestly I don't think I could have as much fun without being able to kiss. That's a warm up that begins getting things heated for me (speaking as female here). Even if hubby got me warmed up with the liplocks it would still not be as exciting.

 

There are different forms of kissing I guess. I know little nips and sucking a little on a tongue to me is erotic as hell.

 

But each couple is different. What works for some might not work for others. You have to find your comfort level.

Ditto. Pretty much mandatory for us, and we're pretty new to the LS. We avoid couples with the "no kissing" rule. :rollseye:

I love to kiss.

But that’s just us. Everyone makes their own rules. If I am with someone who does not allow it I’m fine with that but it is more fun for me if it’s allowed. Not a deal breaker but I do enjoy making out.

 

Hugs and Hissessss,

Maria

We love to kiss also and at the beginning had said that there would be No Kissing with others because of the intimacy. Our first time that went out the window and we have been glad since.

 

Kissing adds so much more to the sex and enjoyment.

I had read in another thread a while back and I can't seem to find it right now, nor can I remember who wrote it, but it went something like, "No Kissing is usually the first rule a couple adopts. It's also usually the first rule to go out the window". It was certainly true for us.

Exactly, putting rules that are inherently unnatural to just basic sexuality just don't feel right for us. We don't mind softswapping, but no kissing is a dealbreaker.

Well JD let me say this, I was in your shoes. I wasn't the one who initiated the swinging idea and I had a lot of reservations.

So, set up your ground rules. They are very important starting out. If you are not "ok" with kissing,then agree not to do it. That may change in the future.

 

Now, I feel something is missing without it and its something that can turn us off to a couple who doesn't want too. (Bar maybe someone new to swinging)

 

I had a great time 2 weekends ago with a new couple and it was a ton of fun. :whiplove::4some::nannadog:

 

Baby steps. First, if this is something you really want to get into, get your feet wet. Start as slow as you want and see how it goes. Sex with new couples is a HUGE decision. You can always change your ground rules as you become more comfortable.;)

Make sure the people you start out with are people you LIKE and enjoy being with. Don't just hop in the sack with the first yahoo who says "yes". :nono:

 

Have fun

Same here. It was one of many things we talked about when setting up our initial rules, but we both agreed that we didn't think we needed a rule for that one. Everyone is entitled to their rules, but we would pass by couple with a no kissing rule - just too awkward and takes away so much from the experience.

I would have to agree here with no kissing being a no-fun and hard to play by rule. Really, it's the kinda rule you might have if you are in to complete anonymous sex. The best part of sex with someone new is getting to know them enough for the initial chemistry to kick in. Kissing is an affirmation of that chemistry as much as sex is. Even though swingers tend to define playmates with non-emotional fun, it's the "light" emotional chemistry that's the fun part and kissing is very much a part of that.

First and foremost, you have to do what ya'll are comfortable with. Don't worry about what you think others might expect. If kissing is something you want to try adding to your play, then by all means, give it a go. But start slowly, and make sure that any couple you attempt this with knows how you feel. You know, that whole COMMUNICATION thing.

 

Mr. Sweet and I are kissers. It feels natural to us to kiss the person we're having sex with. Of course, it's more emotional when Mr. Sweet and I kiss each other, but so is every look, every touch, and every word.

Welcome welcome and welcome.

 

Its great that you two are thinking about the lifestyle. One bit of advice. Make sure you are sure. And have you talked about it over coffee and a danish and not just in bed? ;)

 

As for your question, I like to kiss and M does not mind. In fact, he like to watch me kiss. The only problem for me is that M has spoiled me as he is a great kisser and most men (and some women) do not meet my standards. I guess he ruined me! :)

 

So its up to you two but whatever you decide, make sure you are both ok with it. like everything else in the lifestyle. Then one day you will turn around and wonder where all your "rules" went! :):):)

To me, kissing is a HUGE part of foreplay... it's like the starting line, really. If I'm out on the dancefloor with someone the first step is usually a kiss on the dancefloor and then things progress from there. I can't see us hooking up with a couple that had a no kissing rule.

I have to agree with Julie. We are still very new to the LS and are starting out with only soft for now and when my wife and I talked about rules, the no kissing rule came up which I was fine with. But if you are going to suck or lick somone else kissing seems to be the least of the emotinal concerns. And as many have stated here that is sort of the first step in foreplay, at least for me so it just seems logical. To answer another thread of 'Breaking the Ice' kissing is a great way to get comfortable. BTW, no kissing is now not one of our rules. :kiss:

Neither of us ever had a sex (intercourse) partner that we did not kiss.

 

There were several soft swing couples whom we did not kiss, unless you count oral sex as kissing. That was not because the other couple refused to kiss; as best we can recall, we just didn't try to kiss them.

 

However, we do know one very attractive couple (who were just friends) who decided that kissing was off limits. It seemed strange at the time that this beautiful woman would fuck your brains out but wouldn't kiss. Now maybe we understand that it was just some part of their relationship that, for some reason known only to themselves, they decided to keep exclusively for themselves.

There are plenty of men and women out there that have a hard time separating the emotions of kissing. Some think kissing is more of an emotional act than sex. Then there are the opposites who think sex is just about as intimate as you can get. It's all in your perception.

 

We used to have the no kissing rule that lasted about 20 minutes into our first play-date. It's a feeling that you can't imagine until you're in the thick of things. In my mind, it was going to be worse to watch my husband kiss someone than to fuck this woman. :wtf:

 

Thinking about it, there are plenty more things that we keep just between each other than kissing. Good grief, we have more than 24 years together, three kids, a dog and a life full of love and laughter. Kissing someone else is not going to change that. Ever.

      Hello everyone,

      Me and my wife are new to the lifestyle and so far we've only met 3 couples. 
      We have a few rules/boundaries and one of them is that we only do a full swap and have sex if we both have sex. I suffer from ED which I've started getting treatment for which is helping, but before we even went into the lifestyle I felt my penis might not get hard so we added this rule to kind of take the pressure off if I couldn't perform. 

      So with experience 1 as expected I didn't get hard at all but enjoyed giving oral and watching my wife give and receive oral, experience 2 was same again. No problems so far and after both these experiences the sex with my wife has been incredible and my favourite part of all this.

      Couple no3 is where things for me at least went wrong. 

      So we met up for dinner at our place and we got on great and everything was going perfectly and the wine was flowing. First problem is I drank too much, I wasn't drunk but I was closer to drunk than sober. We started playing a game to break the ice and started with the kissing and oral, as before my penis isn't getting hard at all but I just focus on the other wife and use my mouth and hands. I'm not sure how much time had passed but this is where the second problem comes in my wife stops everyone and asks me if it is ok if she has sex. I wasn't thinking clearly due to the alcohol and said yes. She had sex (with condom)  with him and I watched it and when the guy finished we all stopped and that was it.

      The day after I felt incredibly conflicted and I explained all this to my wife and how I feel like she should of asked me in private if she could have sex and how we had a rule about only having sex if we both did. I know I shouldn't have drunk so much to keep my mind clear.

      I've told my wife I need to step back and take a break from everything and she is fine with it. I'm not angry with my wife or upset, we both made mistakes I just feel disappointed with myself more than anything.

      Has anyone else had experiences like this and how do you avoid things like this?? Any advice would be great.

      Tonight we were at a house party. We were in the hot tub and I started making out with a guy I'd seen earlier and thought was attractive. He was quite cute... but he had what I'd consider an over-active tongue during kissing.
       
      Does anyone else find that there's something of a divide between people who kiss slowly, use their tongues slowly, use their lips etc., and people who seem to stick it in there and wiggle it like a teletubby on five cups of coffee?
       
      I'm just curious. It's obvious from my post which I prefer... but I'm only one person. I am wondering what others think.
       
      Oh, and we tend to find that "over-active tongue" people tend to come in couples, which makes sense. Over time you get used to how your SO kisses, and each person's kissing style probably evolves to become more like theirs whether or not we realize it.

      From what is posted and discussed here, probably the second most frequent rule couples have in swinging is "no anal." Some do not give an explanation, other say it is special and saved for just between themselves. Why is that?
       
      Considering anal sex as something sacred seems contrary to what girls said and did growing up. For girls in my junior high and high school letting a guy put his dick in your bum and cum was considered "third base" stuff, like oral. The reasons some girls did anal was because they either didn't like oral at all or didn't like a guy cumming in their mouth, a few girls liked it because they were able to orgasm that way, and some because their bf just wanted it. It also had the advantage of being a means of contraception at an age when getting on birth control was not easy.
       
      To hubby and me anal is nothing special; in fact, I have never done it with him. I have done it with other guys because they asked, but the only time it gets me even close to orgasm is when the guy in my bum is also playing with my clit. The after effects are that Mr. Anal Man keeps the antibacterial soap companies secure in business, I need another fresh guy (that is my hubby) to give me vaginal sex so I can cum, and there is that frothy mix squishing out. (Yes, it was what happened last night that got me to thinking.) So to us it is the most detached and least special of sex acts.
       
      Your thoughts.

      To all you males out there is Sex just Sex no matter who its with? Do you take as much time pleasing your wife as you do pleasing other women? Is there as much romance in your bedroom as is in others? I ask this because it seems that in our relationship, sex is just sex anymore. We seem to spend more time pleasing others than we do each other. Sad isn't it? I ask all of you males out there to search your hearts, and tonight take time to please your spouse. Make them feel special. Let them know how much you love them in the bedroom as well as everyday life. Have fun tonight.

      I’m coming here for some advice about about something I’m not sure if I’m overthinking...
       
      We’ve been kind of dating/seeing a girl who I have yet to have a sexual connection with. I’ve been her only female experience, and we’re still working through lessons. My husband has been head over heels for her since we all met, which caused a lot issues between us then.
       
      Things have gotten much better, and I feel more comfortable with everything. I’ve been BI my whole life pretty much, so this patience and teaching is pretty big for me because I don’t get the full experience all the time. One boundary we have is no penetration with the other girl (there’s reasons for that). Anyhow, every time we’re together, whether in bed or not, I feel like a lot of foreplay is with her, I’m just there to have the penis in me, and the fact that he says I’m dry, well no shit, I have to push him for some sexual attention, and that’s a turn-off for me. It’s so frustrating because I’m normally not when I’m sexually aroused. He always opts to touch her, kiss her, and very passionate. I have to force us to kiss, or force his hand to touch me too, I like that stuff too. He’s very much aware of that, I have a soft, and sexy waxed vagina too, that I’m sure I could get a lot of attention and play.
       
      It feels like sometimes I’m there as the middle person to gap the bridge between them, and it’s taking a toll on my emotions. I don’t want to cause an argument, but I’m not feeling good about this, but want to make sure if I’m overthinking anything.
