With non-profit sex, traditionally, the progression is kissing, then clothed fondling, then skin-on-skin fondling. But, with for-profit sex, kissing in much more intimate than fondling, often out of bounds. Not obvious why that is. Or, is this boomerthink, do the younguns grope before they kiss, even when it's non-profit? I don't remember talk of herpes until the mid 80s. There were just "cold sores", which (as the name implies) were assumed to be temporary, not flareups of a permanent infection. In high school, there were weekly rumors about somebody being at death's door with mono, because they kissed too many different people. I guess the latest with herpes is, it's much more common than people think, because most people who get it are asymptomatic carriers. So doctors advise a Steve Winwood, don't worry too much, it will happen to you attitude.
Be nice, and keep the "I don't let her kiss me till after I give her the rim job" posts to a minimum.


Interesting observation.
A dancer recently asked what my favorite thing to do in VIP was. After a few beats I said, "Kissing!" I surprised even myself. I like it all, of course. But to an earlier post about memorable VIPs, those with deep uninhibited French Kissing - Wow!
