Kissing Fools

What is it about this kissing stuff anyway? I don't care if I am weird, and yet I'd find it funny if anyone agreed with me here. I am a romantic and all. I think that the more subtle equals the more romantic. I don't need tongue in my mouth everyday. Intimate kisses on the lips, cheeks, neck, ear, etc. This I like. Wouldn't say I don't. It's appropriate for greeting your intimate other or saying goodbye. It's appropriate in the morning or evening and various times throughout the day.

On the other hand, I'm one who feels like kissing [of the french sort] is usually a lead to other things [of the more intimate sort]. That's cool too. When it's the appropriate time. Maybe I wasn't always the "making out" kind when dating. I know people who can "kiss for hours". Again, subtlety goes a long way with me. My low level intimacy preferences were usually in accordance with this.

It's not that if I was french kissed it automatically led to something else. I'm not that "easy". However, I didn't always enjoy the tongue in cheek - so to speak. I usually assumed that the thought process of the other person was leading to other areas, so I had an art of averting from the kiss of the french without it being too obvious to the kisser (unless the entire process was my idea - hee).

Hey, I can't help it if french kissing leads my own thoughts in a rather turned on direction. I don't like to be left hanging any more than the next person. So, why get all hot and bothered and the ends not justify the means when you can be just as loving and cuddly without the tongue?

I like to save my special kiss for special times. Is that so wrong? Not being particularly interested in the majority of kisses involving tongue has never meant I didn't really like the person. I've just come to the conclusion that I'm not so french obsessed in general [especially of the public sort].

I know I could get the comment, "You just hadn't had the right kisser, huh huh." I don't believe this for one minute. I've had some awesome kisses. Doesn't change the facts for me. I don't think it's because I am old and married either. I just don't have to have tongue everyday, and I don't think it's so wrong not to initialize it accept for those certain appropriate instances [of the most intimate sort].

Am I the only non tongue-obsessed female alive? Guess I can live with that.
