Making out

Making out usually serves as a colloquial term for the act of two people engaging in prolonged kissing. Making out is usually done to express affection to a boyfriend/girlfriend or spouse, or to express sexual attraction to a prospective sexual partner. Making out usually consists mostly of French kissing, although this is not a requirement. An episode of making out is often referred to as a make out session.

After a period of prolonged kissing, two people may choose a more sexual form of making out, known as necking. Necking, as the term implies, involves kissing and licking of the neck, sometimes considered to be an erogenous zone (because of the relatively high sensitivity of the skin there.) Necking is usually done one partner at a time, since a couple both kissing each others' necks is usually difficult or uncomfortable. Because one person is usually inactive during necking, that person can rest their head on the other's shoulder, if they wish to rest their neck.

The couple may also continue to kiss various other body parts, though kissing on more sensitive and private body parts is usually less of a romantic act and more of an act done for sexual arousal. Although making out does not only exist as foreplay to sexual intercourse, it is sometimes understood as leading to intercourse.
