<p>Depends on the person. No one in my group of friends believes kissing signifies closeness. A lot of people (not myself, but a good chunk of people) are completely fine with kissing people they’ve just met.</p>
<p>
You can’t be serious???</p>
<p>Of course kissing doesn’t mean anything to most of our generation, nothing does. </p>
<p>Remember “Pretty Woman”? Even the hooker didn’t kiss on the lips for nothin’!</p>
<p>u make no sense</p>
<p>This because for most people</p>
<p>Kissing is an act of caring, love, real feelings</p>
<p>Sex on the other hand gives enough pleasure that it can be just sex. It doesn;t have to have meaning. It could just feel good.</p>
<p>Wait are you really a male and had an HIV scare?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Why wouldn’t a male have an HIV scare? </p>
<p>The odds of contracting HIV from unprotected sex with an infected partner, for a man, are about half of what they are for a female (~1/2000 vs. 1/1000) but they are still there. </p>
<p>Furthermore, gay men are one of the most afflicted groups because HIV is more likely to spread through anal sex, for reasons that they taught you in high school health class. A man who engages in receptive anal sex with an HIV-positive partner has a 1/200 chance of contracting HIV. </p>
<p>You might be thinking of HPV.</p>
<p>this is getting severely off topic</p>
<p>Define love, and then ill answer ur question for u.</p>
<p>San if you don’t love your bf…LEAVE…security is no reason to stay with anyone and sex will never be as amazing as if you loved him.</p>
<p>You obviously don’t have feelings for him, so why on earth would you just “buy time” with him. You can always “be just friends”</p>
<p>You can’t define love. Its different for every person but if you have it you don’t have to ask about it. thats for sure.</p>
<p>You can’t define love,</p>
<p>But you can define who is your love…close your eyes…the last person you want to see before you die is your love…</p>
<p>I love my kids, my mom, my siblings, but the last person I want to say goodbye to is my dh.</p>
<p>love is not definable like the rest of the things in our life, and that’s what makes it great… it allows us to see that our existence is not just a robotic routine.</p>
<p>and yes, try to close your eyes and check who you see, if anyone at all</p>
<p>Last month, I talked to him about breaking up but he was quiet through the whole conversation. I told him I’d rather he be honest then than let our relationship develop further and then have to break up later, but I took from the conversation that he (and I) wanted to keep it going for some reason. I never thought I had to love my boyfriend initially to be with him. I believe there’s an attraction between us but we just have to work on the relationship to deepen our connection. I’m not fooled by infatuation.</p>
<p>jack4640, according to the CDC, the chances of contracting HIV through receptive unprotected oral sex (no anal) with ejaculation is 1 in 2500, and that’s if the sex is done regularly over a year AND if the person ejaculating tested positive for the presence of antibodies in response to the HIV virus. I haven’t had anal sex with him yet. And he claims he’s “clean” and so are his two previous partners.</p>

<p>Kissing is a “comfort-building exercise.”</p>
<p>If I were you I’d get tested anyway. It’s not just about HIV but other things as well.</p>
<p>You are and should be friends</p>
<p>…and this has what to do with college and or college life? haha wow</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Believe it or not, that’s not necessarily true. Great love doesn’t always equal great sex, or vice versa… :)</p>
<p>I don’t really know what to say regarding the topic at hand. Everyone’s gonna have different opinions of this and whether you have to love him to kiss him is really up to you. Completely up to you - your lips are yours and you should use them however you want to. ;)</p>
<p>It doesn’t always feel right to kiss, but hugging? definitely. I love hugging him for long periods of time.</p>
