Making out vs. Just kissing?

Question

Okay this sounds dumb, but what is the difference between making out and just plain kissing?

A kiss could just be a quick peck on the lips or on the cheek. And it doesn't have to be passionate or have a sensual feel to it. It can be about endearment and more about love.

However, a sensual, sexual, passionate, long, wet, intense, make-out session. Well, it just about makes you melt and it I would say always leads to lustful thoughts. Love may be involved, but LUST is the key feature here.

You kiss your mum. You make out with a partner. You can kiss your partner (a quick goodbye or a similar gesture) but it's not as intimate as making out.

I'd argue the light kiss you give a partner isn't always making out but if it's anything more then you give your mum it's more then a kiss. Lots of middle ground on what the wording can mean.

Kissing - Short/brief, usually no tongue involed: Make out- longer than kissing, usually tongue movement involved, sometimes lip biting:

Making out involves tongue, and is usually handsy Kissing can b something as simple as a peck on the cheek...

Making out involves with a lot more contact with two people. Just imagine a kiss on the cheek, then making out with your partner on the couch. It's a big difference, making out can usually lead to more. I know for me it does :)
