How important is kissing in a relationship?

My husband has never been much of a kisser. In fact, even when being intimate he doesn't really kiss. Sometimes I feel like it's me (shrug). I wonder why he can't kiss passionately. His tongue is always so hard and stiff and he acts so frigid. He isn't frigid when it comes to having sex but he does not know how to kiss. I want to tell him sometimes but then I figure I will just hurt his feelings so I don't say anything. I'd love to have more long, passionate kisses. I've had men kiss me in the past so passionately and I long for that sometimes.

" I can imagine that you would want that again. to me kissing is one of the most important physical things a couple can share. You can say alot through a kiss, just as you can read alot into one's eyes.

Maybe he needs some gently instruction. Some guys just don't know how to kiss. Do it in a loving way and encourage what you like and add to that.
*my 2 cents* "

" as a man, a woman can do all sorts of activities she thinks that would be sensual, however for me, what does it for me is kissing, therefore kissing is very important - the most important. the only caveat though is that i have to be very emotionally involved with that person. "

" my ex couldn't kiss, but i wouldn't say that is what precipitated the end of our relationship.

having said that, my present GF can seriously kiss, & this is one of the joys of our relationship. its a way of knowing "are you with me?" or "do you want/love me?"

all tha said, if other things or events hadn't transpired in my relationship with my ex, i think we would still be together, & i'd find a way to make do without the kissing. "

" Kissing comes right after LOVE AND honesty.
So, it's very important.

Kissing...
Rejuvenates, and gives attention.
Makes you feel...
Special, Loved, sexy
Kissing is part of...
Making love, intimancy, simple greeting.

KISSING IS A WONDERFUL THING! "

" If you truly desire great kissing, which it sounds like it's very important to you and your relationship, then you need to figure out how to get it. There's two ways to go with this...1) talk with him from the heart and ask him about kissing. Does he like it? Does he not need it? Was there something in his past that is getting in the way of kissing you? Be gentle, open and honest. And LISTEN! You just might find the answer. Or, 2) The other way to go is to compliment him on his kissing. "OMG, I love when you...." Even if he's not really doing what you "love," he'll be hearing what it is that you want and need. Hopefully he'll be open to giving you want you so crave. It may take some time and practice, but it just might work. (Kind of like teaching him what you like about sex, but with kissing.) Good luck!!!! "

" When I first started dating my late husband... he was a terrible kisser! One day I was so frustrated by it and I said to him, "What are you trying to do... move the furniture around the house?" (laughingly) He asked, what I meant by it and I told him nicely. I mean his head was going so fast all over the place and his tongue was litterally heading down my throat. lol Not long after that... he was a great kisser. I think kissing is very important. I can just about go over the edge kissing. "

" I agree. I once found a small book in a wellbeing store on "the art of kissing". It was inspirational. Have lost it since so unsure of exact title. Best two pounds I ever spent! Until then I was a thrust and poke kisser (no one told me otherwise)! After reading this, I learned so much about expressing feelings and passion though simple yet powerful techniques. I'm sure your husband would be surprised (and thrilled) to know what a difference a passionate kiss can be (and it's easily learned). Good luck. "

" Perhaps he just doesn't know that it means anything to you, or he is shy about it because he doubts his own skill.

Talk to him about it. Make it sexy, tell him you love it when you feel his mouth on yours or something. Take it slow and teach him how you like to be kissed; after all, men can't read minds, and they have no idea what we like unless we spell it out for them step by step. I bet he'll get pretty into it if you take control...I've been told thats one of the sexiest things a woman can do.

I think he'll eventually loosen up a little; after all, kissing can be awkward if you're unsure how to do it. If you guide him, I bet those kisses will get plenty good and steamy real quick. "
