Kissing and hugging during casual sex?

Now this might sound like a strange question but having had sex with several girls who were not my girlfriends, I never wondered whether I should kiss them and hug them, just as I would with any girl I would be going out with.
Even if I wasn't going out with them, we'd be kissing a lot and often end up in the arms of eachother.

More recently, I've got the impression this has scared the last girl I was with, almost as if she wasn't used to so much affection. Do some people not even bother with much kissing (or at least hugging) when having casual sex?

This reminds me of Pretty Woman - how she'll do anything but kiss on the mouth, because it's too personal.

That aside, I'm hardly experienced in this, so I'll keep my opinions on the OP (yet again, knew who you were without checking :p: ) to myself.

I would imagine kissing would turn people on more...

No to the first question. My post was badly written but my point was that I'm usually almost as affectionate with a casual partner/one night stand than with a girlfriend. Then again, the times I've actually had casual sex, it's always been with girls I felt a connection with and probably would have wanted to go out with.

And Helenia, that's very rude of you to spy on people talking about personal stuff. How did you know it was me?

With what high priestess fjord said, I guess it's more how to behave after the sex that's the issue... I often continue being affectionate even after. If I didn't give a damn about the girl and thought "oh my god, did i just have sex with her?", then maybe I'd want to just get dressed. But most of the time, I behave just as I would with a girlfriend.

Casual sex! Oh no! Are you somehow posting from before the sixties, perhaps?

Completely agree with this! Kissing and hugging makes it quite personal and can really be seen by some as your trying to move away from just having casual sex and into more of an 'exclusive' relationship!

Dunno - I think kissing and hugging can be just another way of expressing desire, which is what holds casual sex as a concept together anyway, so I'd find it pretty normal!
well kissing is defintely a part of sex, surely you kiss a girl youv'e met before you have sex with her!!! I don't know about hugging, but its just a natural progression from kissing i guess. Kissing and Hugging is good!! unless youve signed some kind of very matter of fact penetration only contract, but wheres the fun in that?

From my 'perspective', passionate encounters and sexual intercourse are two entirely independent processes that don't combine together very well.

I guess my first post didn't make sense because it's not so much the sex that matters. I'm assuming that most people kiss during casual sex anyway and hugging someone while you're on top of them or they're on top of you, is a bit unavoidable, although it's not necessarily done in a "cute hug" kind of way. But then again, you don't have to do any kissing during actual sex... (someone made the comparison with pretty woman where Julia Roberts' character doesn't want to kiss her clients). I've never had a ****friend but why would you kiss a ****friend?

The real issue was more how you behave around your one night stand, casual partner, before and after sex. You could just run off or maybe turn away and sleep to avoid having to deal with them. But then you could continue being affectionate and kissing...

I like you.

I agree with what someone said before about being turned on by kissing - I need kisses before I'm up for anything!

Kissing and hugging is just a part of sex, and its quite difficult not to do...

However, if you think you scared the last girl, maybe you should think about talking about the whole thing and what you can and cant do with each ither before you have casual sex again.

Also, i hardly think its casual sex if youre snogging each others' faces off... tahts probably overstepping the casual sex mark.
