Here via su_herald. Interesting discussion. Personally, I adore kissing, both in real life and in fic. It really can be more intimate, more infused with significance, than other kinds of physical contact.

Maybe it's cliche, but one big fic kink I have is not kissing until after the sex. When the pairing is in denial about the true intimacy of their feelings and deliberately withholding kissing on the mouth, while the fic rolls on its merry way and crazyhot sex is had by all. It somehow ratchets up the UST while still managing to heap on the S. When well-written, this can be sweet and sexy and deeply satisfying, like they finally plugged in that emotional component and sparks fly.

I must admit, though, reading about morning breath kisses? Squicks me a little bit. I'm a pansy, yes.
