The reason your partner doesn’t kiss you during intimacy might be… see more

When intimacy begins, you expect a certain flow—touches, glances, kisses, and then more. But sometimes, there’s a missing step. Your partner skips the kiss entirely, moving from closeness to contact without that one act that ties the two together.

The reason for this might lie in how they view intimacy itself. For some, kissing is a beginning, not a part of the main act. Once things are in motion, they may see no “need” for it, treating it like a warm-up that’s already over.

For others, it’s a matter of separation—physical closeness is one category, emotional closeness another. Kissing blends the two, and if they want to keep them apart, they’ll avoid it.

There’s also the matter of energy. In moments of high passion, some people move so quickly toward the physical that they simply forget to slow down for a kiss. It’s not intentional—it’s just how they’re wired in the heat of the moment.

If you want to bring kissing back, the best approach is to make it irresistible. Don’t just kiss them—make it an experience. Hold their face in your hands, pause until they can feel your breath on their lips, and then kiss them like it’s the only thing you want. Let them feel what they’ve been missing.

Because when done right, a kiss during intimacy doesn’t interrupt the flow—it changes the whole current. And sometimes, that change is exactly what a relationship needs.
