・Are the lips and tongue erogenous zones?
I was reminded of a question from someone who was upset after being told they were bad at it. Some people use their tongues when kissing, lick their partner’s lips all over, or suck on their tongue, but do most people actually find that pleasurable?
Other than feeling someone licking or sucking on me—and occasionally feeling pain—I’ve never really felt anything, and it doesn’t lead to sexual excitement at all. If anything, I’m more likely to feel put off because I notice the smell of their breath. Though I suppose that goes both ways.
This isn’t limited to club dating; I feel the same way in romantic relationships.
I do like gentle kisses where our lips barely meet as a sign of affection, but even then, I’ve never felt sexually aroused.
・How can I check whether I have bad breath?
I use Listerine, brush my teeth, and floss after every meal, but I have absolutely no idea whether I have bad breath. I don’t smoke or drink coffee, so I shouldn’t have those kinds of odors.
I find men’s bad breath bothersome, and at the same time, it makes me wonder what my own breath is like.

No two people in this world are exactly alike, so everyone has different erogenous zones.
Some people are sensitive around their tongue or lips. I once met a woman whose index finger was an erogenous zone. It wasn’t at first, but I started licking and sucking her index finger playfully, almost like giving it oral attention. She began moaning and saying, “This feels kind of strange.” After that, whenever we were intimate, she would put her index finger in my mouth（笑）
As for bad breath, I think it’s difficult to notice your own. You get used to your own smell, but other people’s smells can be hard to tolerate.
If you want to know objectively, I believe there are devices that measure bad breath.

It really depends on the person. In my case, I only continued seeing someone if I enjoyed kissing him. Once I no longer felt comfortable kissing him, whether he was my boyfriend or my papa (a male supporter), the relationship naturally headed toward a breakup.

These days, odors can be measured with a device. It’s a little expensive, but I think it would be a good idea to use the Konica Minolta Kunkun body:

¥30,000
However, it seems to have been discontinued this January, so it may soon become unavailable unless you find and purchase one while supplies last.
There are cheaper, simpler models available, but considering accuracy, this seems to be the best option. It’s a shame it was discontinued.
> Do people normally find it pleasurable?
I think some people do find it pleasurable when they’re with someone they like.
It feels less direct and more indirect, and I think it may be something the brain translates into pleasure.
So I feel it may be something people don’t experience if their brain doesn’t make that translation.

I don’t think anyone will tell you the truth about bad breath except a dentist specializing in halitosis. Even a partner or family member usually can’t say it.
I recommend seeing a halitosis specialist to women as well.
Even young women working at bank counters may have bad breath by the afternoon. Young office workers can also develop bad breath after a full day at work. This is something you won’t realize unless you visit a dentist specializing in halitosis.
> Are the lips and tongue erogenous zones?
They aren’t exactly erogenous zones, but kissing can heighten the mood and make other erogenous zones feel more sensitive. It can also strengthen the bond between two people as a secondary effect of the intimacy it creates.
In that context, the bad breath mentioned in the question is an extremely important factor. If the bad-breath issue hasn’t been addressed, it becomes something the man is enjoying on his own while the woman is left suffering and feeling like a victim, enduring whatever is done to her.

> Are the lips and tongue considered erogenous zones?
In my case, they can feel good, but it’s rare for them to feel particularly pleasurable.
The same goes for nipples. They’re said to be erogenous zones, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they always lead to sexual arousal, does it? I personally enjoy having my testicles licked, but apparently that’s a matter of personal preference among men too. So even if something is considered an erogenous zone, it doesn’t mean everyone will always find it pleasurable.
> How can I check my own breath?
You could cover your mouth and nose with your hand, like when your hands are cold, then breathe out and smell it.
In my experience, women’s breath is more often affected by strong-smelling foods like garlic than by cigarettes or coffee.
Incidentally, some dentists have machines that can test your breath.
