Why do people make the “smooching” noise when kissing? It seems like it takes at least a little intentional effort to make that noise. Is it weird to make out but not make the noise?

    It’s weird to worry about it.

    Well, a kiss involves some degree of suction, no matter how small. Otherwise, it’s a peck.

    Besides, part of the kind of kiss that smacks is performative. The people involved are using it as a form of social bonding, so the sound is intrinsic to the exchange. You won’t usually find adults making out with closed mouth kisses and making extra noise. It’s really a different thing.

      I once had a girlfriend. There’s more to the story. I once had a girlfriend who I’d gross out by trying to kiss her with “horse lips.” That isn’t why it didn’t work out, though.

            I am ashamed to admit how long I tried to imitate a horse after reading your comment. Still not 100% sure what you meant lol

                Ok I’ll imitate that horse and then maybe I’ll understand. I just need a bunch of people to take drugs with me so that they believe I’m a horse and will ride on top of me. It only works if everyone involved is convinced.

      My bird requests good night kisses. They make big smacky kiss noise. She doesn’t peck though. Just places the top of her beak on my nose and makes the noise.

    They don’t always. That being said it is pretty hard to make out silently. I mean between the lips and tongue there is a lot going on and personally I find its hard to make out without saying some stuff to my partner between boughts.

      What should I say? Maybe ask them about Huey Lewis and the News?
