Kissing is the *best* thing. I love every type of man-on-man kiss - the subtle bites of the lip, the slow turning fast, the subtle turning full-on, the give-and-take, it all works.
Two things. Bad kissers are the worst and they *can* be taught. It's a bit hard at first to say to someone, look, the thing is, you kiss like it's a punchline and this needs to stop. But it can be done.
Secondly - "I don't kiss" gays are perhaps the worst of the lot. Screw this "I'm gay but not that gay" mentality. Girl, if you're good with (bareback, no doubt) fucking or God knows what else, you're okay with kissing.
There are a number of theories. Either it's toxic masculinity, in which case, sorry for your loss. OR it's something about the difference between being GAY!!!! and being "gay". It's as though "gay" is fine if it's listening to Kylie Minogue or sucking dick, but something difference when it's close intimacy. I don't understand it. Kissing is the spark which starts the fire, excluding kissing is like not putting sugar into a crème brûlée.
There are a good number of porn clips I've splurged over just at the kissing stage. I understand men might have barriers they cannot cross but it just baffles me.
