But for me...a singleton, deep sensual kissing can add so much to a punt beyond just a fuck'n' blow, especially when the SP is really into and feeling it too. Boosts the happy hormones, dopamine, serotonin, oxytonin, but also reduce cortisol, etc, can even breathe life into a flagging limp dick ahead of round 2.
There is a big difference between a loving kiss and an erotic kiss. Both have their role. A passionate sensual kiss is part of the build up to sex for me. A passionless peck on the lips just isn't going to arouse me. Conversely, an SP trying to give me an erotic kiss as a parting kiss on the way out just feels weird, as though she is trying to turn me on again.
For me, sensuality is an important part of sex. The feeling as someone slowly rakes their fingertips across my flesh. The sensation of someone ever so slowly gliding the tip of their tongue around my lips while kissing, picking up the pace as we both get steadily more aroused. Unfortunately there are women who can be loving and passionate, but have all the inbuilt sensuality of a brick.
Sex without sensuality feels just mechanical to me, little better than a wank. I want to enjoy the build up as much as the climax. I suppose it is a bit like those who find an intimate massage a good build up to sex, and those who think it is a waste of time.
Sex is the most intimate act there is. I find it difficult to understand how someone can happily have sex with a stranger, but find simply kissing them too intimate. Personally, I find doing RO on a stranger far too intimate, let alone the hygiene issues, but there are others who are perfectly happy doing RO but draw the line at kissing. Each to their own, it would be a boring old world if we were all the same.
