Good question Jackson.

Im not sure that "intimate" is the best way to categorize and compare these acts.

For us, a married provider couple and former swingers, we agreed long ago that kissing also involved long deep stares into each others eyes, and we wanted to preserve that and keep that sacred within our marriage. Thus, kissing is at my discretion, it is usually LFK and I try to avoid deep prolonged gazes.

For girls offering GFE, they will probably enjoy kissing every bit as much if not more than DATY.

With DATY, there is no deep peering into your partners soul (as some believe that the eyes are the windows to the soul) and instead just pure pleasure and enjoyment. If you get plenty of kissing from your SO, odds are, it won't be missed at all.

In my own experience I've run into more providers who won't kiss than one's who won't let you do DATY. I'd assume that's because many reserve kissing for their SO's.

Me too and if you reverse things a bit you'll probably agree. I find kissing far more intimate than receiving a BBBJ. Not sure why, I just do.

I am with you BigBilly, kissing is more intimate for me as a man than the BJ. Probably because of the close eye contact.

Although a good BJ should be full of eye contact as well

I think kissing is more intimate, but I enjoy both very much!

We must be related since we like exactly the same things

for me it's more personal to kiss on the mouth, but that's one of the things i love about having sex the most. the intimacy!

that's your thing, huh? remember you mentioned it a few times.. and I always think "how exactly is this working?"
I'll guess I'll try it out next time I get the chance. Might be till August, though.
