As a person who’s received many complements for their kisses, kissing is not taught through words, but in doing. You’ll notice throughout your life that every person kisses different. It may depend on the shape of their lips, their self expression, or their prior experiences. A person’s kiss is like a fingerprint. When two come together, you get something very special and unique! I’ve kissed over a hundred people. Some might judge me for that. I think I’ve got the equivalent of a PhD in kissing. Anyway, I’ll entertain you with some tips to get you started:
– Get used to relaxing your lips and keeping them soft during kissing. I’ve found this to be the best feeling. Harder, flexed lips can add sensation when things are getting very intense but the majority of your kissing should be done with soft, relaxed lips.
– Stay hydrated. Smooth lips and a wet mouth will make everything else go smoothly. Nobody wants to kiss chapped lips and a dry tongue.
– If you notice your lips getting dry for any reason right before or during a kiss, swipe your tongue over them and get lubricated.
– Exfoliate your lips so you don’t rub dead skin onto your partners. This isn’t a huge deal, especially if you really dig each other, but it is something you can prepare for.
– It’s impossible how to describe moving your mouth during a kiss in words. You can watch other people kiss in movies and TV, but I recommend you ignoring the noise and coming up with what feels best for you.
– Take some time and effort to pay attention to how you feel, and how your partner responds, and try to match their lips.
– Try changing intensity. Start soft and slow, and try going a bit faster when it feels good. There are shallow kisses where only the tips of your lips meet, and deeper kisses where your mouths may be more open.
– When you’ve gotten more practice, try incorporating the tongue. A good rule of thumb is to keep most of your tongue inside your own mouth. Don’t shove it down someone else’s, at least at first. Relax the tip of your tongue to make it soft, just like your lips should be soft, and stroke it across your partners lips and between them. Try and press the tip of your tongue against the tip of theirs. You’ll get more comfortable with this if you practice, but modesty is key here. Once you are an advanced kisser, the kisses may get more French, but it depends who you are kissing.
– Angling your head can add variation. You can press your nose right up on somebody’s too, if they fit, because there are really no rules to this. The best form is to tilt your head to the side, but have fun with it. Maybe go right at first, and as you’re kissing, try tilting left. This can bring movement and passion to a kiss.
– Your hands are a great asset. Use them to cradle your partners cheek, chin, neck, back, waist, or hips. Get creative. Run your fingers along their skin or hold them tightly. Stroke your fingers through their hair if this is comfortable for their hair type. Touch from the hands adds to the overall sensation of the kiss and takes you from beginner to advanced.
– Always remember, you should never be kissing at a person, but with them. Relax and enjoy the moment. FEEL how their lips are moving and responding to yours. They may take the lead at times, and you may take the lead at times. Kissing is like a dance. Have fun with it and enjoy your partner.
Best of luck to you! Wishing you a lifetime of great kisses!
