Btw, can anybody enlighten me what people mean when they say someone is a good kisser? I really don't get what kind of skill it takes to wrestle with another person's tongue or lick their inner cheek. I mean, it's not as if we're talking about oral sex here. Kissing is a rather mundane and somewhat pointless activity. You never hear people say "he's great at holding hands" or "he's really skilled at putting his hand on my knee". What makes a so-called good kisser?
Ordinary, closed-mouth kissing is just a token of affection I think, not particularly pleasurable in its own right....I guess the pleasure comes from knowing that you've got a bond with somebody that makes it socially appropriate to kiss them.
The open-mouthed variety is more of a sexual thing......apparently the tongue is an erogenous zone, but I don't know much about its biological basis. I don't think other primates do anything of the sort. I've never particularly needed it myself, and once annoyed a new partner by keeping my tongue still for too long while it was in her mouth, so I guess you're supposed to waggle it about. I suppose a good kisser is somebody who makes you feel like sex when they kiss you in that way. I've felt some arousal that way, but I'm not a really big fan.
