Closed mouth kissing

Speaking as a heterosexual man... I would not accept a restriction on open mouth kissing in a relationship. Kissing is too important and I wouldn't want to feel like I had to worry about any "rules".

Generally in a relationship you do things that you wouldn't do with anyone else. "Swapping saliva" is one of those things. It is part of intimacy.

If you find the right person they will happily engage the way you prefer. No problem.

That is not much of a relationship, Edgar.

Well Max, kissing isn't the fulcrum of a relationship. There are many things that happen in a partnership and kissing is never important. No one cares if you want open mouth kisses and the fact that you argued, "I wouldn't want to feel like I had to worry about any 'rules'." I'm sure some individuals would disagree with you because in relationships there could be rules that both parties would want, and what you're saying is that you wouldn't care that you're partner finds swapping saliva disgusting as long as you acquire that intimacy. In relationships there are boundaries but I guess you wouldn't know that because you believe that "kissing is too important".
