RE: Kissing?

[Guest guest]

You are not the only one. I can't stand the sound of kissing on TV; it's gross and annoying. I think foley artists deliberately "sweeten" the noise, or perhaps the set microphones just pick it up really well. I have a friend who had a course in how to put a show together, and I asked him why no one ever tones down the sounds of kissing (or gasping for air in singing), and he didn't have a clue. He thinks the sound is a bit gross too, but it doesn't set him off.I have a hard time getting rid of the memory of sounds too. Usually imagined violence or music help. Oddly, the affectionate "mwah-mwah" sound doesn't bug me.= M-F.> To: Soundsensitivity > Date: Fri, 2 Apr 2010 03:43:14 +0000> Subject: Kissing?> > Hello, I am almost 20 and I have been suffering from 4s as long as I can remember.

Ugh.. the other day I was at the doctor and they had soap operas on in the

waiting room. This couple was making out and the kissing sounds were making me

so sick!!!

However when I am kissing someone it doesn't bother me... go figure! :-)
