Hi steph53, 

This is an interesting translation!  :-)      ;-) 


"Kisses and licks are now a reality" can be said in these ways:


Besos y lametazos ya son realidad.

or

Besos y lametazos ya son hecho realidad  (Meaning more "kisses and
licks have become a reality)

The word  "lengüetada" is often used for "licks" but usually when
referring to being licked by animals, such as your dog, and not by
people. (I'm assuming you are reffering to an affectionate *person*
wanting to kiss and lick!)

Hope this helps you out!

Please request an Answer Clarification, before rating, if this is not
the translation you are seeking, and I will be glad to further assist
you.

Regards,
crabcakes

I am very sorry to disappoint you, but as a native Spanish speaker,
who has always been recognized for having a very extense vocabulary
and a perfect usage of the Spanish grammar, can assure you that in
Spanish there's no such word as "LAMETAZOS". The best translation for
the phrase "Kisses and licks are now a reality" would be "Los besos y
lengüetazos ya son una realidad", where the word "lengüetazos" would
be prononced "len-way-tah-zos". This word can be used in both
contexts, either when a dog "licks" you, or  when an affectionate
person "licks" you.

The word "Lametazo" does indeed exist. Perhaps it is not used in the
country from which samuelb is from. I have used and heard the word
"lametazo" in South America, as well as Spain and Mexico. Be aware
that different words can be used in the many Spanish-speaking
countries.

The infinitive is "lamer", to lick.

Hi steph,
You can count on either or both of the versions in my answer. I would
not have posted them if they were not correct. I have also supplied
several links in my first comment supporting my versions. Puerto Rican
Spanish is very similar to Venezuelan Spanish, the kind with which I
am most familiar.

I am a native spanish speaker who lives in Argentina, what I can say
about this is that in my country lametazos is not used. Lengüetazos,
when used in a sexual context, refers to "play erotic games" with the
tongue.
But the word lamidas (past participle of lamer) is most common here.
...And lametazos exist and it is a synonym of lengüetazos and lamidas,
and each word is most commonly used in different regions or countries.


Hope that helps.
