My husband is a very wet kisser and I don't love it. I love him and all that he stands for but not that so much. Anyone have any advice on how to get the wetness under control?

He may actually have little control over this. I know that we all produce differing amounts of bodily fluids and some people just salivate more when their mouths are open.

You might mention it to him but there may be nothing he can do to change it.

Avoiding french kissing might be your only choice, I don't know.

OR have him suck on a lemon before kissing! LOL!

Men on average produce twice as much saliva than women. I agree with Kat...there may be nothing he could do about it.

I have mentioned it in as friendly a way as I can...hate to hurt that male ego...but to no avail. I am betting he cannot do anything about it but I was hoping someone had found a solution. I love the lemon idea :)

You might also try having him use an astringent mouthwash, one containing alcohol, before a makeout session. You could suggest it by taking the first swig. I know my mouth always feel drier after I gargle.

I still wonder if technique could change how much wetness the other notices as well, the natural wetness during kissing remains. Would anyone have any guess as to the idea of the kissing being 'less deep' for example? Is there any ideas regarding technique alone that anyone can add?

I found the following article pretty interesting, maybe there's something in there that could help?:

I'm up for learning on this if any of you have any ideas. TIA :)

GREAT question, bznmamma!
