I think the emotional overload would knock me unconscious if I snogged somebody, at least the first time. Holding hands with a female friend, just so we could do some ballroom dancing together, was extremely embarrassing and overly strong in the sensation/emotion department. I didn't want to do it, because it crossed so many ingrained boundaries, and it was a few weeks before I got used to it.
This is kind of funny. It reminded me of the first time I kissed a girl, when I was 20. It was in a bar, lights were flashing, music was playing, and I was drunk. I was dancing with this girl, and at one point during the dance, we started making out. I don't know how I managed to do it right, because I felt a surge of lightning rush through my body, my knees were so weak that I had to tense up my leg muscles to steady myself, and my whole post-puberty life flashed before me. The kiss ended about 30 seconds later. We kept dancing and made out a few more times. Then she went to find her friends, leaving me standing shellshocked in the middle of a crowded dance floor.
