"I kissed her. Kissing is more intimate than fucking. That's why I never liked my girlfriends to go around kissing men. I'd rather they fucked them." as Charles Bukowski wrote (who is IMHO a required reading for every serious punter). Recently I had really grand kissing experiences while punting, really memorable ones. You can satisfy yourself down there quite well, as Diogenes the Cynic used to teach, but I really don't know how you can have a great French Kissing time without a good partner. So always brush your teeth, gargle a lot of mouthwash and hope for the better :-)
I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and books. The rest I just squandered.
