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? ...

I've spoken to a couple of people who've admitted to not being big fans of making out. When I ask them why French kissing is not their thing, they've provide reasons like: "It's gross" "I don't like having someone's tongue shoved down my throat" "I don't fancy exchanging saliva with anyone else" "What if the person's mouth is dirty? Who knows what they ate." "They might have bad breath" My take: If it's someone you care deeply about, why not? I think making out is one of the most intimate non-penetrative acts you can engage in with someone else. Thus, I am not all that surprised that some people would be opposed to it. Kissing that escalates into a full-blown make out session is quite the adrenaline rush. There is nothing like adding a little tongue to spice things up! Have you made out recently? Do/did you find it exhilarating or quite the opposite?
