Episode notes
Hormones And Kissing Experience
- Hormones and social conditioning both shape kissing style and enjoyment.
- Estrogen can increase skin softness and responsive desire, changing how someone experiences kissing.
Check The Kissing, Not Just The Gender
- Try distinguishing whether you dislike men or dislike how certain men kiss before labeling your sexuality.
- Test gentle feedback and reflect on your broader attraction patterns rather than one behaviour alone.
Ask To Kiss With Desire
- Use clear, desire-forward consent lines like “I really want to kiss you right now.”
- Or preface a moment (“when I come back, we should make out”) to give space and reduce anxiety.
