'Making out' often leads to sex. This is because making out or kissing is a common form of 'foreplay'.
Foreplay is what we call the behaviour or activity that a couple might indulge in to achieve a state of sexual arousal leading up to full sex.
Why do people make out?
If you've ever watched a film where two adults end up having sex, the scene usually starts off with them kissing passionately first. While making out doesn't necessarily mean someone's going to have sex, it is often a precursor.
The reason that kissing and touching often leads to sex is because this type of activity 'warms the body up' for sexual intercourse.
To have sex, a guy's penis needs to be erect and hard. Making out usually gets him to this state. In the same way, a female's vagina naturally lubricates to facilitate the entry and friction caused by the penis. Without making out or stimulating the body, having sex would be very difficult.
Does kissing lead to sex?
Although making out is definitely an effective precursor to sex, it would be wrong to assume that making out naturally precedes sex.
Firstly, there are other ways that sexual arousal can be achieved without the meeting of lips.
Secondly, although making out may get you in the mood for sex, it's up to you whether you take the plunge and act on those impulses.
Finally, making out isn't a mechanical process that humans have to go through just to get to sex. Oftentimes, making out can be just as enjoyable as the sex itself.
The most important thing when making out with someone is to have a clear idea of how far you intend things to go before you lose yourself in the throes of passion. It can be easy, with all the hormones and feelings racing through your body, to get carried away when making out with someone and go further than you'd intended.
Until you're confident you know what you're doing, I'd suggest setting yourself boundaries based on what you feel comfortable doing beforehand.
