Born perfect, born different, born better than your best

Eventually, the need for oxygen drove him to surface, gasping for air.
Is this quote (from a favorite fic, I might add) referring to undersea diving? No! It is referring to smooching! This is only one of many similar sentences which I have encountered. What is with all the characters who gotta stop smoochin' on account of being out of breath? This is not difficult, like walking and chewing gum; no, breathing through one's nose is an elementary life skill for most individuals, and personal experience demonstrates that it is usually possible to employ that skill during smooching.
Writers who use this "can't breath while kissing" trope--do your characters have chronic sinus congestion? Are they snogging giant tentacle monsters, whose suckers were haphazardly and inconveniently placed over all the smoochee's available breathing orifices? Are they noseless creatures from beyond the Moon? Rat would like to know this.
Thank you for your time.
