I was just reading an article that was dealing with the issue of why girls will kiss other girls.
(I spent hours looking for the right photo for you in this post).
According to the article, there are a few reasons why women involve themselves in “heteroflexible” behavior such as kissing each other.
1. Copycat of award shows with famous people doing it.
2. Women want attention especially from guys.
3. Genuine Experimentation
4. Some women use this as an opportunity to come out of the closet.

Why do girls kiss girls?
Comments (103)
I don’t. I’m not bi curious/shy nor am I a lesbian..I’m straight..so therefore I don’t kiss girls. Never crossed my mind..
Uhh, i think you covered it dan.
I’ve kissed girls before. Really it was because I was actually curious. Although I did do it once because my bf was being an uber dick to me at a party. His friends didn’t stop cracking threesome jokes for a while.
But really, I think it is more of an experimental thing especially because it is becoming more acceptable for same sex kisses, etc.
you mean, in public? because the bi-curious/homosexuality issue is a whole ‘nother thing with its’ own roots. anyway, as for girls in bars, etc?:
not enough attention from mommy and daddy and/or daddy issues, all culminating into low self-worth.
@greenbird321 - Exactly
I don’t think anyone ever thinks of this one; love. can’t a straight girl kiss a straight girl just out of love, without it being sexual? my friends and i kiss each other on the cheek very often, and even on the lips. it’s not a whole ‘make out’ thing, just a kiss!
Here’s WikiAnswers answer to that question: “If they are family they may kiss on the cheek or if they kiss other places then they are gay.”
That made me chuckle when I read it.
I wonder how many “hours” Dan spends looking at photos
I don’t care why they want the kisses, but they can keep them. Girls’ kisses are a physical manifestation of lying.
All of the above. It’s an overdone fad among young girls, like “forgetting” to wear panties was for a while.
Alternate answer: who wouldn’t want to kiss girls? It’s so nice. *swoons*
Maybe because they can get away with it without being perceived as “pussies” or “faggots”.
Because it’s fun. It doesn’t always have to be an attention thing. It’s often just the same reason that girls will kiss boys. A lot of guys are cocky and will always think “oh, two girls are kissing, they must want MY attention!!” When it often just means girls like each other’s lips.
Dear Dan,
I have better photos on my “hard” drive. But they’re probably not “Xanga friendly”.
I sometimes think I’m missing out on so much.

@saintvi - Melinda, now I know I am.
@greenbird321 - But would you assume that if you caught a heterosexual couple kissing in a bar?
I have witnessed my friends doing this. In my experience it is because they were very very drunk and guys egged them on.
@dreaminlikethis - clearly, no. straight girls who kiss other straight girls simply to garner attention from drunk horndogs fit the description I provided. there’s really no comparing that to hetero couples. obv.
I’ve kissed a lot of girls, and I’ve been both drunk and sober. There’s something fun and no-pressure about it for me. And yes, I’m attracted to girls so it’s just enjoyable with no strings attached. =] I don’t do it for attention, I do it for pleasure.
I kiss girls cause i like girls. They turn me on ^_^ Gotta say i looooove “i’m just experimenting” girls at parties. Sometimes get as much as 3 a night. WOO!
They also taste yummy!
Done it while drunk w/ no one else around, just us 3 girls.
Just an experiment thing.
Cause it’s hot. Duh.
I’d agree with #3 over here.
In most cases I would believe that it’s genuine experimentation, coupled with the fact that it is seen as socially acceptable as opposed to when men do it (i.e it would be considered “gay”).
Curiosity killed that cat, so in theory curiosity sure got that pussy.
Not sure where I’m going with this
damn
i want a girl now
its cuz girls are hot and soft and squishy ^..<
I kissed a girl, many times, but I was in a relationship with her, which I usually feel is a prerequisite to kissing anyone of any gender. I don’t kiss random stranger girls and I don’t kiss my friends usually, though a guy who kind of liked both of us tried to get two of us to do it once. We didn’t because we both agreed that he would like it too much, lol.
As for most girls? To get attention, I’d think, but it’s worthwhile to note that on the spectrum of sexuality, far more girls admit to bisexual tendencies than men, so perhaps there is some underlying, unexpressed lesbianism. It probably differs for each individual.
I once heard a parody song, which was some guy singing about how he kissed a guy and he liked it. It was funny. I would go and find it if I was not so lazy.
I did a few times in the 8th grade on a dare…vote for meee http://www.exploremodeling.com/Casting/SnorgTees/42619/Toni_Logan.aspx
@Roadlesstaken - I love how you took the time to look that up on wiki answers. Lol.
who gives a shit!
Two girls making out.
I’m solid.
@Nope_Ive_Never - That’s how I do!
Short answer — because it’s awesome.
Even shorter answer — why not?
Because girls are pretty.
I agree with your reasoning….. but kissing a girl… is awesome! =) I think a girl kissing another girl…. just for the attention a guy or whatever is totally lame!!!! If you know that you are not into females… why kiss one???!! Some people are so ridiculous!
Because in truth, girls are better kissers.
Kissing girls would be more like an experimental thing for me. Personally, I find girl’s lips are actually really soft and nice. I believe that I”m straight, but question myself since I like the feeling of kissing a girl.
I border between aromantic and homoromantic asexual. There were a few girls I got really affectionate with, but felt no romantic pull towards them. If anything, they either already kissed other girls as a means to display their friendship, or they were curious and used me to experiment on (IT WAS ONLY A PECK! I SWEAR!)
That’s the extent of it though, I never felt anything from kissing girls or guys, but I’m just more used to being affectionate with females.
because they aren’t guys.
I think this question is as easy/difficult to answer as why pat each other’s butts? Is IT because of latent homosexuality? Do they want to know what another mans butt feels like? “Hmmmmm….he has Buns of Steel” or “Hey Fred, a little squishy back there, when I grabbed you I could pinch an inch”.
I kiss girls because I like it. =) They were girlfriends, but still (not all at once, either).
I just like girls.
They’re soft, and supple, and their skin feels like silk.
Their lips are always soft and sensual and fit nicely around mine.
And, honestly, kissing a girl is SO much more romantic to me than kissing a guy.
Guys are always going after one thing (it feels like), and they’re always harder, pushing.
With a guy, I have to stand my ground, and not give an inch. It’s like a constant tug-of-war, kissing a guy. He wants control. He wants to be the strong one, the dominating one, the provider.
But, women? Women want to nurture. It’s like a gentle play of waves upon the beach. You give, she gives, you take, she takes. It’s beautiful. You can take leadership if you want it, you can let her have leadership, you can switch with each other without having to be dominant.
Plus,
I fucking loving tits.
I have never wanted to kiss a woman because I’m not attracted to women. Some of my friends have done this and they were very very drunk. I think some women do it for experimentation.
Because they like it?!
#3 is why I did…
Who the fuck cares about the why? It’s hot, that’s all that really matters!
It depends on the context. If it’s without a ton of horny dudes watching, they either genuinely like other girls or are just experimenting. If it’s in front of a bunch of guys, then they just want attention and likely don’t have any personality.
lol.
i just wanted to comment that i know the girl on the left in the picture. i went to high school with her.
Because it’s female liberation, dammit! …btw, Dan…when you put (I spent hours looking for the right photo for you) or whatever, I felt touched. haha
To cure breast cancer.
Oh wait, that’s showing their boobs online. Then, I don’t know. Maybe for oral herpes?
Looking at that picture all I can say is I’m glad it happens. Carry on ladies. As is.
@Theater_Pixie - I am with you on this one.
The answers are as varied as why a girl would kiss anyone.
My first thought is because she is beautiful and soft, maybe they click together, have something in common.But for young experimenters they may like the attention from males which is kind of immature but I guess a lot of us pulled this stunt a time or 2.
Most times straight girls do because of 2. && Sometimes 3.
maybe some girls are bicurious, but most of the girls i see doing it, looks like they just want the attention from the guys.
To tease you, of course.
Also, thank you for your ongoing dedication to bring nothing but the very best! @you spending hours looking for the right picture. Appreciated!
For most women….they kiss girls because they know what kind of reaction that men will have. I’ve seen two girls hold hands by a group of guys JUST to get attention. Kind of funny.
I’ve kissed girls…..and I didn’t do it for attention, I did it because I liked it.
@splinter1591 - lmao! Too cute of an answer!
5. Because they’ve got boobies.
I have never kissed a girl and I don’t possess any desire to do so. As for all the others girls out there partaking in this, I agree with your reasonings.
Cause they have soft lips and big ole tittays.
Never question a good thing.
@SexyGamerGirl -
Faggot.
@WordsandThoughts -
I can attest for a fact that this is precisely why I do it.
It’s also due to one big gaping warm soft hole right about smack dab in the middle of their bodies.
And, lastly, for the record – it’s number two.
It’s always number two.
@dragonslayer149 - Amen to that!
I flirt with girls (no kiss) because it’s fun.
Pretty sure kissing other girls would be fun too, but not really that into it.
And I’m not sexually attracted to girls, either.
Um, back when I partied a lot, my friends (that were girls) and I kissed a lot. It was mostly because kissing is very fun when you’re intoxicated, but guys keep trying to push you into going further and straight girls don’t.
If we’re all being honest, I kiss girls because it feels more right than kissing guys. But everyone is different.
shock value
@emily_shannon - Huh???? I do not understand that logic. You must explain this one. . .
When I was in school girls used to just act slutty as a desperate attempt to keep the guys’ attention, now they act bi.
I’ve kissed other girls during my partying days. I did it because I was drunk and because they were my friends. I wouldn’t go kissing random chicks!
Some girls at school greet each other with kisses on the cheek. I’ve never participated in this as my own thing, but girls have done it to me. I don’t really know why they do it but they do…I guess as a sign of affection.
Cheap entry.
Goodbye, Dan Theologian.
why do girls kiss girls? because they are smart.
Girls kiss girls because they are sexually disoriented.
Ahh! This is the answer to my recent blog entry. I think it’s because of attention seeking women who want to turn guys on.
@grammarboy - This makes me sad.
rephrasing a previous answer: cause they genuinely want to.
@Theater_Pixie - props for that.
eh, for attention.
i’ve never, nor will i ever, kiss a female.
they are rather disgusting as is, i wouldn’t want to be that close, heh)
i would kiss another girl lmao im kind of curious haha
Well, I’m not a female but I would think a good portion of the reason is because its fun. Social norms and all. I do know one thing! If it made a female feel bad or any other negatives they would not kiss.
because women have soft lips and actually know how to kiss
Here’s WikiAnswers answer to that question: “If they are family they may kiss on the cheek or if they kiss other places then they are gay.”
@Roadlesstaken - I like that. That made me giggle a bit haha.
@quodmenutriut - It makes me sad, too, but I don’t always feel that way. If you look below that comment, I left another one, and it’s just as sincere. Sigh. I don’t know any more.
Just want to check it off my list…haha. Curious. Nothing much deeper than that. Plus they are pretty
@greenbird321 - Yep.
@Theater_Pixie - I do that too. Only with two of my girlfriends really, and not all the time. It’s usually cause we’re drunk and just feeling very loving and affectionate. It’s not sexual, it’s just easier (and probably less embarrassing) than going into a long drunken spiel on how much you love your BFF. And like you said, it’s not like we’re sucking face, it’s just a small kiss.
First time I ever kissed a girl was because I was “curious” I guess. I had been for years, and was newly single, and just thought “What the hell? Why not?” It was just a kiss too though. Like, closed mouth, lasting about two seconds. I’ve never been in a relationship with a girl, so I’ve never done much more than that.
When I was in grade 9, being bisexual (for girls) was practically a trend. I went to a Halloween party and out of 10 girls, only one was straight. I don’t know how many of them are still bi (this was 7 years ago), but I’m gonna say experimentation is probably the most common reason.
I’ve got to say, it really irks me that apparently a lot of young women will make out with their girlfriends just because the guys they’re with enjoy it.
I don’t flaunt my sexuality, but I don’t hide the fact that I like women as much as I like men – sometimes more, I kind of sway between mostly straight and mostly gay. It frustrates me to no end when someone catches on to that fact and starts making remarks that I should make out with such and such other girl. Wtf – my sexuality is not a cheap party trick!
Regarding the whole “experimenting” thing, I think people should be VERY careful and upfront when they “just want to experiment”. I fell very hard for a friend of mine who appeared to reciprocate, we had a lot of fun together, and she ended things rather abruptly with the excuse that she “just wanted to see what it was like”. I was crushed. We’re not novelty toys for you to play with, we are human beings with very real feelings just like you and it hurts just as much when we get used like that.

More importantly… Why do boys kiss?
Two guys broke the Guinness record for longest kiss last night.

I think it’s mostly 2 there.
I think you covered all of the reasons why.pretty nicely actually
If I were to do it, it’d be mainly Genuine Experimentation.
Girls are better kissers. IDK maybe i’m just a very sexual person but i’m horny a lot a friend pointed out that my nipples are always hard and they think it’s cause I always have sex on the brain. well it is easy being that way when your bisexual and I always check people out. lol
TOTALLY ALL ABOUT ATTENTION GETTING MORE OFTEN THAN NOT. THIS I TRULY BELIEVE! ONLY THE AGGRESSIVE TYPES OR ONE TOO MANY DRINKS ARE THE ONES THAT CAN DO THAT IN PUBLIC. THEY SOMEHOW HAVE LEARNED THAT BOYS, MEN GET A TURN ON WITH THAT KIND OF DISPLAY, MORE SO PROBABLY BECAUSE THE MEN SEE THAT AND THINK THEY WILL BE SEXUALLY ADVENTUROUS IN THE BEDROOM. THEY PLAY THE MEN THEY KNOW ARE WATCHING THEM, YES, JUST ANOTHER ONE OF THE “GAMES”. YES, AND I AGREE THE INET MEDIA BOOM HAS PLACED THE IMAGE IN THEIR LITTLE MINDS TO START WITH, AS WELL AS IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PLACE THING TO DO NOW THAT HAS BEEN A GREAT WAY TO GET GUYS TO APPROACH THEM WHEREAS PRIOR TO THIS DISPLAY OF CRAZINESS, THEY WERE JUST ANOTHER BODY IN THE BAR.
because girls are good kisseres
@SexyGamerGirl - you kissed a girl because your bf was being a dick to you?
noted
I bet you did spend hours “looking” for the right picture. Only on our account?
@TheOddestThings - I know it sounds weird, but he was not a happy camper. It was fairly early on in the relationship. But he considers that messed up, despite it being hot, because I’m his gf and shouldn’t be kissing anyone else. I don’t even remember what he did now (it was over 3 years ago) but he must have done something to really piss me off.
Well from my friends who are girls who kiss each other, it’s a safe outlet for their sexual frustrations. I know very heterosexual women who kiss each other because they’re horny and would rather have a makeout session they know is safe and won’t end in them being taken advantage of.
uh maybe because they want to?
Well uhh. I don’t know about the other girls out there kissing girls, but I kiss other girls because I’m gay as fuck.
