Well yeah, no kidding. I was raised American but still never got the appeal of the "spit-swapping" variety; It always struck me as disgusting, though I don't mind normal "on-the-lips" type. For some reason, people expect that everyone likes that sort of thing and think I'm weird for not wanting to.

I do find the particular behaviour weird, but then I haven't experienced it properly, I've never dated anyone that's been into it!

It objectively makes you weird. Sex itself is literally slimey and gross but also very pleasant.

There are physical reasons for that; reproductive organs have tons of extra nerves to make it so. That's not true of mouths; the reaction would have to be psychological. Tongues are there to taste food.

Hands, lips, tip of tongue. "Mouthfeel" is as important to taste as flavor. Lips aren't for tasting either, why so many nerves? https://www.quora.com/Which-is-most-sensitive-part-of-the-hu...
