Some women find making out GROSS

Google "making out gross" and you'll find a plethora of websites and message boards in which hordes of women echo that very sentiment.

Here are a couple of comments made by women who find french kissing all but revolting:

"I am not a fan of prolonged kissing sessions/making out. It doesn't do much for me when it's with someone I like, and it repulses me if I am not very into the person."

"I very infrequently enjoy making out. I'm no germophobe, but the thought of someone's warm, wet salivary secretions being pushed into my mouth and back into their mouth over and over again is just nasty."

"My nose is almost always blocked so I can't really breathe when I make out...Also...It's a little boring? Like just sitting there making out? Ehn..."

"I have a slight issue with people being up in my face for too long. It makes me start to panic. So yeah, prolonged kissing can be an issue."

Interesting, huh?

Women's feelings run the gamut from finding it boring to gross to panic-inducing.

As a man, I've always enjoyed making out with women. I consider it one of the most intimate acts you can share with someone, save for intercourse. My wife knows that, aside from disrobing, a passionate makeout session is all it takes to get me in the mood.

Couples often leave intense makeout sessions for whenever they wish to engage in roleplay, which usually leads to kinky sex. But many people feel gentle kissing is more appropriate for slower, more sensual sessions.

As a relationship matures, couples find themselves engaging less frequently in long makeout sessions. Shoving tongues down each other's throats finds more appeal among couples in fairly new relationships -- you know, that stage where hormones are raging and keeping clothing on is in itself a challenge. We've all been there.

If making out is important to you, be sure to get the other person's take on it before you lunge your tongue deeply into his or her mouth. The last thing you want is for someone to express disgust at something you ultimately find fun and pleasurable.

While there's certainly no harm in going for a pop kiss, french kissing is a different story. Sure, it may eventually grow on someone, but there are no guarantees. Some women refrain from making out until they feel very comfortable with the guy.

The one thing I discourage couples from doing, however, is making out in public. When I see two people playing tongue-of-war for all to see, it gets on my nerves. It's flat-out disrespectful, especially when there are small children walking around. If you want to kiss your partner passionately, find a private place to do so and go nuts. Just don't subject the rest of us to 20 minutes of saliva exchanging.

Ladies, do you find making out gross? What other reasons might explain why women find making out unpleasant?

Do you have Isolophilia? Find out...

You're probably asking yourself, "What in the world does Isolophilia mean?" It sounds like it would be something negative, doesn't it?  After all, words that end in "philia" (e.g., pedophilia) tend to involve things we want nothing to do with. But Isolophilia isn't something all people deplore. In fact, introverts like me welcome it. Put simply, Isolophilia is defined as having a strong affinity for solitude. It describes a person who relishes being alone. While extroverts can only take so much solitude, we introverts find that it rejuvenates us. In order to recharge our batteries, we need to retreat to a quiet environment where we we're left alone to rest and/or gather our thoughts. Extroverts, on the other hand, become bored and drained when they're alone for a lengthy period of time. Social interaction is the fuel that drives them. So while an extrovert would probably do anything to avoid feelings of Isolophilia in most cases, an...

No response from someone IS a response

Make no mistake about it: When you don't get a response from someone -- whether they fail to answer your texts or return your phone calls -- it is  still a response, and a powerful one at that. When a person fails to respond, it's a direct reflection of their interest -- or lack thereof -- in the relationship. Few things are more aggravating than having to hound a partner, friend, or relative for some sort of reply after we've reached out to them. Yes, we get busy from time to time, but that doesn't give anyone the right to leave the other person hanging. A terse text with something like "Been busy, will reach out soon" doesn't say much, but at least it shows some effort to bring the other person up to speed on why they've fallen off the radar. Failing to provide a response for weeks -- if not months -- communicates that you are just not a priority, and that you'll have to wait your turn to get this individual's attention. This is n...

An important note to women about men and attraction

I was raised by my mom, grandma, and two older sisters.  Growing up, never did I ever take any interest in the girls at school who tended toward exposing more skin. I always treated them as I would my female family members -- with the utmost courtesy and respect.  And anytime I suspected that a male friend or acquaintance of mine adopted a hump-and-dump attitude toward women, I nixed them from my life. I held men who treated women as objects in very low regard, and still do to this day. If women feel empowered to show off their bodies because they love and work hard on their physique, more power to them. In other words, if they're doing it to please THEMSELVES and no one else, good for them.  However, those who do it specifically to curry men's favor are making a big mistake. It sends the wrong signals and actually makes it less likely that a man will want to stick around for a committed relationship (if that's what you want as anyway).  Granted, if you're not lookin...
