Wow, I totally agree with this. Kissing is a must for me, especially as described when it happens between two masculine gay or bi men. And it can lead to so much more. The first time I was ever kissed by a man it was so passionate, and his tongue was so deep in my mouth that I thought I was going to melt away. I became hooked at that point.
My fantasies of being with a man now always start with us in long, deep, passionate kiss. It turns me on so much that it gets me hard before I even start imaging his cock in my mouth. Our bodies pressed tight against each other, our cocks getting hard, hands up and down his back and ass, our tongues going crazy inside each other's mouths.
When it comes to women, I love it. I never imagined kissing a guy. For me it's mostly sexual. Let's get it on. Now, I've seen porn where they are passionately kissing before getting to it, and I will admit it does look appealing but I could never get arose by it. I'm sure, as I've I heard before, it's different when you're in the moment. So no, it's not a deal breaker.
