Kiss and Tell

[disalarming]

I like to keep details of my romantic liaisons private. I dislike sharing the finer details about what goes on behind closed doors when I am with someone I have romantic inclinations towards, and I don’t have any particular interest in hearing about what goes on closed doors for other people either. It’s not something that I feel should be shared, generally speaking. I might tell some of my closest friends a few things, but even then I will not share all the details. Even people with cotton wool between their ears can figure out what happens behind closed doors, so it’s not like it’s incredibly difficult to pick and choose what parts to share when it comes to discussing private details of my romantic life.

I don’t kiss and tell, and I really dislike the entire concept of kissing and telling. It’s not an attractive trait, nor is it one that will gain you respect from others. It’s simply another form of gossip, but in some ways the damage done by kissing and telling is far worse than the standard friendship/drama gossip. Kissing and telling is really unbecoming, and it’s essentially sharing private information that is not wholly yours to share, as it involves a second party as well. No matter how enjoyable or miserable the interaction was with someone, I don’t tell analyze with others over what happened. The farthest I’ll go is say that it happened, and move on from the subject.

Question of the Week: What do you think about the concept of kissing and telling? Do you kiss and tell?
