"Snog" is common, in BrE; though not all speakers would use it. It usually implies "kissing (a member of the opposite sex) with relish".

Naturally they do. And Madonna may snog Britney; and Britney may snog Gwyneth; and Katy may think about kissing all three.

And would "with relish" be "to snog someone's face off"? |

To whom does it imply that? And which factors allow the implication "kissing a member of the opposite sex"?
What does the word "penetration" (re the sexual act) usually imply? |

It usually implies "that" to the people who use or hear the word.

|
The presence of a member of the opposite sex during the "snog" in question.
