Silver Thread: Kissing Descriptions in Novels

Has anyone else ever been bothered by descriptions of kissing in novels (possibly mostly BL, I haven't tallied or compiled stats) that inevitably involve a lot of saliva? As in, so and so kiss deeply [... yada yada yada ...] and as they pull away there is a "silver thread" connecting them. Does this actually sound appealing to some? Because honestly, as someone who enjoys kissing but is very put off by globs of saliva, this sounds kinda... gross? I usually fast-forward through that sentence, and it doesn't bother me too much, but some authors seem really into this and can't have two people kissing without it devolving to copious drooling.
Thoughts? Observations?

Just think of it as the red silver thread of fate and, maybe you'll begin seeing it as more romantic than gross!

If there is a web or light novel translation of a guy kissing a girl's boob (a consensual epi., of course), then the more graphic the better!

This may have had the reverse effect of never letting me visualize a red thread of fate the same way ever again...
*Imagines a red thread extending through the air, the two ends' locations unknown. A suspicious silver liquid drips from it, shimmering in the morning light.*
... my imagination scares me
