Well I don't read the same sort of pairings/fics you prefer on the whole, so I suppose my views on kissing are coloured by my unashamed romanticism.

However, I love good kissing in fic. Of course, steamy, passionate kissing as foreplay to great sex is a definite plus, but my favorite kind of kissing is the sort that's just sort of lazy and explorative, with no real goal except just to kiss, and taste, and be with the other person.

That said, probably my favorite kind of kissing is sleepy just-woke-up kissing, the sort of kissing lovers do when they wake up in the morning and just can't keep their hands off each other.

Also, awkward first-time school days stuff really trips my trigger.

So yeah. That's my terribly sentimental take on kissing.
