Do people that are married for many years still "make out," in other words, french kiss for an extended period of time?

I bet if married couple still made out..there would be less divorce!! The world puts to much emphasis on Sex!!! That’s just my opinion:) I have been married twice

Is 14 years a “long time”? If so then at least one couple did.

Well there was a “fortune” that a friend got in a cracker that said: “You do not lose temptation. It loses you”. Or something like that. I don’t know if this explains anything, but to me, it’s saying that you or a couple that has been married for many years probably had a lot of temptation, or at least temptation, had it but as the years went by temptation kind of left them. This may or may not make sense, just putting something out there.

p.s. @pdworkin hhahaha and..now 2 couples did

damn i been together with my gf for almost 1½ years now and we’ve almost completely stop making out

My parents have been married 59½ years, and they still play footsie under the table. Does that count?

That’s about as risque as you could get if you were “nice” in the 1940’s, when they met.

Sure do. Been married thirteen years and together for twenty-one.

In fact…(hold on)...I should go “kiss” my wife goodnight right now.

My neighbors are in their 80’s and they hold hands when they walk together, and when he helps her on with her coat, he’ll touch her hair or her cheek. It’s sweet. My grandparents got more lovey dovey when they hit their 70’s. They had several rocky patches in their marriage when they were younger.

Footsie is Always fun…that’s one way to get her or him in the—bedroom shhhhh—-!!!

@PandoraBoxx…I dream of that!!!!! There are so many ways to show Affection…..sex is just one of the many ways:):)

My mom is suffering from Parkinson’s Dementia, but she still likes my dad a lot. She doesn’t always recognize him, but she does think he’s attractive.

Yes the do but just not with each other.

Some do. I was in such a marriage (well actually it ended just short of 20 years), and even when a lot wasn’t working, affection and (until I gave up entirely) kissing were healthy. I/we were I think unusual though in many respects, and one was that even after 7 or 14 years, though I mainly wished I wasn’t married at one level or another most of the time since well day one, the love and affection were always there, and what passion we had did not really die out at 2 or 7 years the way biologists have recently insists happens. Well maybe what they insists happens did happen, but whatever we were doing was regenerating interest, affection, etc.

NFW

My wife and I have been married close to 21 years. We still make out before, during and after sex. Just because there’s snow on the roof doesn’t mean the fire has gone out in the furnace. This question is almost ageist, but I will assume you are just young and uninformed. Old folks neck too, kiddo. :)

why do all the younger generations act like they invented sex, anyway? Your grandparents did it, your parents did it, just like you.

@camouflage_pants…..Great Answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Love It:):) Thanks for giving me Hope…and Merry Christmas:):)

Cheers to that:)

Cheers to YOU!!!!!!

I think it is lurvey thing to do.

My wife and I are 50 and 66 years old, respectively, and we still “make out,” although with less passion and more affection than when we were younger. : ))

And yes, we sometimes get carried away! : D

Why does every generation think it invented sex? Were they born via immaculate conception or something? LMAO!

Yes! We have been married 20 years and we still do!

I’ve been married 11 years. We still do, although not as frequently as when we were first married.

@Pretty_Lilly: How optimistic.

Pretty sure blondesjon and jonsblond still do.
They talk about it like all the damn time.

Someone should really point the garden hose at them a few times a day.
I mean, damn.

I sure hope so….

My wife and I have been married for almost twenty-three years and I still make-out with her. Of course the chloroform definitely helps.

Some do, and they also engage in kinky sex to make things even more titillating. People who are married for a long time develop greater loyalty and comfort with each other, hence the willingness and trust needed to participate in kinky/risque sex. The other stuff, like French kissing and “intense-making out”, just fill the in-betweens. Lol.

Age and length of time in the relationship are poor predictors of the frequency or intensity of affectionate or sexual behaviors.

The quality of their communication, the depth of their trust and admiration of each other are much better predictors.

Age and physical condition may affect which sexual positions are still comfortable and thus preferred.

Healthy seniors maintain a health appetite for making out and having intercourse well into their eighties and nineties.

Seniors residences that prohibit sexual contact even between married couples are cruel and seriously misguided.

In my own (two) marriages, certainly not as often as when we were first starting out, but it definitely never stopped completely. I love making out. :)
My grandparents were pretty darn frisky in their day, too.

Married a little over 25 years (and together over 27) and definitely yes. I still get those butterflies in my stomache when i glance out of the window and see him too. I wouldn’t trade my honey for the world, Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays,
hugs all xx

@bunnygrl… That’s so sweet and delightful. Your guys do your best to hang onto that. The lack of affection of any sort is what broke up my first marraige. My wife now is the most loving, affectionate women I have ever met, and I just adore her. : ))

Aw shit making out’s my favorite thing to do, it better not stop ever!!
My parents stopped making out in front of the kids when, as teens, my brother and I broke out into loud obnoxious retching sounds whenever we spotted them:)

We haven’t been married that long but still do make out and have sex daily. It’s what works for us, not for others.

whoever mentioned kinky/rique sex among older partners, hey! you been peeking in my windows? now where did I put that trapeze and those circus tights?

@CaptainHarley thank you, you wife is so lucky, and I am too <hugs> Sometimes hubby will put an arm round my waist if we’re stuck standing in a queue or something and stroke my lower back, and kiss my forehead, for no reason. I love little things like that :-)
huggles xx

31 years and counting and yes we still make out. We don’t make out in our car anymore, but we still make out.

@bunnygrl… he sounds a lot like me. : D

@CaptainHarley awww see? I knew your wife was a lucky lady. I hope she knows what a treasure she has,
hugs xx

LOL! Well, I don’t know about all that, but thank you. She sometimes will fuss at me… sorta… for getting a bit too amorous while we’re waiting in line at the store. Heh!

Besides, anyone who likes House is A-ok in my book! : D

Ah, yes, my husband and I of 21 years ‘still’ make out… :) :) There are seasons in our relationship when we’re so very close emotionally, interspersed with times when we each want and take our own space a bit more, still, of course, remaining 100% true to our personal commitments to one another. ...I guess that’s part of what keeps the ‘spice’ in the relationship: we don’t assume that we have to do every single thing together all of the time, so when we are together, (which is a fair bit of time time, incidentally) its all that much better… ’:) ’:)

@Trissinger…I want to be married to your husband:):)...kidding..but really I am not:)

@Simone_De_Beauvoir- Daily? Damn. I love sex and all but I don’t ever remember doing it that much.

@CaptainHarley I wouldn’t say that the question is ageist. I don’t think the question is “Are older married couples too old to be interested in sex?” Instead, it’s more along the lines of “Do couples get bored with each other after years of marriage and lose interest in making out?” At least, that’s how I read it.

In answer to the original question, I think that the frequency of making out depends more on the couple’s relationship dynamic than on how long they’ve been together. I know older married couples who still act like frisky teenagers. And I’ve known other, younger couples who got bored with each other and were physically distant from each other.

@CaptainHarley lol Misters Fry and Laurie have benn rocking my world since before I knew my hubby, so yeah, House is amazing though I’m suffering withdrawal and waiting (not so patiently) for it to come back.

and re the fussing, well, you sort of have to really <grin> but I’ll bet she loves it really, I know that I do :-)
hugs xx

@lonelydragon : thanks – you summed up my intention right on.

@BanginBaxter Ha! Though what I’d conveniently ‘neglected to add,’ above, is that the times when he wishes to spend with me and the times when I wish to spend with him don’t always fit in tandem 100% of the time, though generally 90% of the time, so there are still those times when one or the other wishes to either have alone time or time together—- sometimes we’re more successful at coming to a consensus we can both comfortably live with in that 10% of not agreeing time, other times, its a stress. ’:)

(He’s a great listener, my guy, though quieter than talkative, by far, and a good looking tall red head, too!! Oh-oh, now you’re ~really~ gonna want to snatch him up! ...hehe!!...)

I am not sure about most married couples. I sure do hope that my husband and I still make out in 30 years

Well my wife and I have been married for 13 years (together 23) and she unfortunately doesn’t enjoy French kissing at all anymore (forget about “making out”). I love her deeply and we have 5 children together, but she gets so angry when I even try to broach the subject. We are both in our early 40s and haven’t made out for longer than a decade. It saddens me deeply and I hope and pray that one day it will return, but in my case the answer is “no”. We still have sex 1–2 times a week, but there is no passionate kissing involved- she says it makes her uncomfortable.
