In human sexuality, making out is a sexual euphemism of American origin dating back to at least 1949, and is used synonymously with the terms necking and heavy petting to refer to non-penetrative sex, though "hooking up" is also used in some cultures to imply casual sex.
The sexual connotations of the phrase "make out" appear to have developed in the 1930s and 1940s from the phrase's other meanings of "to succeed". Originally, it meant "to seduce" or "to have sexual intercourse with".
Studies indicate that at the beginning of the 20th century, premarital sex increased, and with it, petting behavior in the 1920s. The Continental experience at that time is amusingly illustrated by a letter that Freud wrote to Ferenczi in 1931 playfully admonishing him to stop kissing his patients, in which Freud warned lest 'a number of independent thinkers in matters of technique will say to themselves: Why stop at a kiss? Certainly one gets further when one adopts "pawing" as well, which, after all, doesn't make a baby. And then bolder ones will come along who will go further, to peeping and showing - and soon we shall have accepted in the technique of analysis the whole repertoire of demi-viergerie and petting parties'.
She's buck wild with her clothes off every night
Chasing till the morning light
She travels with her toothpaste in her bag
Always trying to find her man
He travels in a train in back
Another heart's gone black
But nature needs a gift sometimes
But she don't believe
That heaven's too far away
She's buck wild with her clothes off every night
Starring till the morning light
She travels with her suitcase in her van
Never will she find her man
He takes another train in back
Another heart attack
But nature needs a lift sometimes
But she don't believe
Forever's so far away
