Confession: I Don't Really Like Kissing

This may sound bizarre to many of you, but I've never really enjoyed kissing very much.

I kind of understand it as part of foreplay, but I've never really enjoyed it as a thing by itself. Like when teenagers say "let's make out" and they kiss for ages but it never leads to sex. I never understood the appeal of that.

I can remember my first girlfriend when I was 16, she really wanted me to snog her, but I was reluctant. I wanted to do other things, you know, but the snogging just didn't really appeal to me. Exchanging saliva just seemed like a weird thing to do.

Fast forward many years to 2012, when I was 34, I remember having a brief fling with a woman I met in a walking group. One time during the day we were "making out" on a bench in a church yard, and after I while I stopped, and she complained that I looked like I'd got bored with kissing. Well, I had. It felt like a waste of time.

I mean, I enjoyed doing other things with her, but just the kissing on its own felt meaningless to me.

I don't know, maybe it's because I'm mildly on the autistic spectrum?

Does anyone else feel like this though?
