Dragonflymagic answered Tuesday March 4 2014, 3:52 pm: According to Wikipedia: Making out is a euphemism[1] of American origin, dating back to at least 1949, and is used synonymously with the terms kissing, petting and necking,[2] but may also refer to non-penetrative sex acts such as heavy petting. They also state that 'snogging' is the term used in British-english.
Petting is just another term for 'making out'. Petting is actually a term that covers a broad range of sexual behaviors, including giving/getting a hickey, serious intense kissing,(not just the peck on the lips) and sexual touching of one's partner. The touching, caressing, massaging and kissing of another person's body can take place through the clothing or under the clothing, and 'heavy petting' usually involves removing some clothing and touching BELOW the waist.
Dictionary.com says necking is kissing, caressing, and other sexual activity between partners that does not involve stimulation of the genitals or sexual intercourse.
So in answer to whats the difference between french kissing and making out,
french kissing is only one part of the many types of kissing and also just one part of making out, whereas 'making out' is everything but sexual intercourse meaning 'penis in vagina' sex. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
