    Kissing is the one thing that crosses the line for some reason, for sooo many situations. “Straight” dudes willing to suck another dude’s dick, but won’t kiss another guy because it’s gross. It’s the same for a lot of other kinks. Threesomes, cuckolding, incest, etc etc

    I think the border lays in the fact that kissing is a normal activity between couples, and that’s real life, whereas indulging kinks can almost be compartmentalized as an extreme form of getting off to porn (ergo fake, fantasy - not real, or “doesn’t count”)

      I mean also people’s sexual orientation can be different than their romantic orientation, and kissing is more of a romantic thing

      Kissing is more intimate than sex for many, many people.

      There are lots of people I would fuck but not kiss.

      If the guys are straight, being willing to double team a girl but not make out with each other makes total sense.
