How to Kiss

Kissing is one of the most romantic and intimate acts between two people – kissing on the lips, that is. Kissing on the cheek is not especially romantic as it’s something your grandmother is likely fond of doing. Knowing how to kiss though is more complicated than simply squashing your lips onto someone else’s. Even watching movies with long, drawn out kissing scenes can be upsetting – surely not every kiss is so intense?

Nope. Kissing has a full range of potential from the chaste peck on the lips, to the full-blown erotic French kiss. The most common kiss, especially for a first kiss, has nothing to do with your tongue, so relax and plump up those lips for some prime puckering.

Prime Your Lips

Your first step is to prime your lips and mouth to be at their most kissable. Use chapstick or lip gloss – the non-sticky kind, to keep your lips soft and supple. You’ll want to maintain fresh breath at all times, so keep breath mints or gum very handy. Those pocket patches work very well and are very discreet for breath emergencies.

Set up the Kiss

If you’re ready and willing for that first kiss, do everything in your power to show it – without coming on too strong. Complicated? Maybe. When speaking to your interest, lean in and place your head near his or hers. Touch his or her hand or knee lightly. Smile and keep eye contact while he or she is speaking. When there is a meaningful pause in the conversation, lean in a bit further with your lips soft. Hopefully your partner will read the message and meet your mouth to give you that kiss, but if not you simply smile and ask another question to keep the conversation going. The kiss will happen eventually – stay loose or you’ll be too stressed to enjoy it properly.

Soft Lips

When the kiss finally does happen, lean in to your kissing mate with your mouth barely closed and your lips soft. You can also close your eyes completely or halfway, but staring at him is usually a turn off. When your lips meet, barely press on his, pucker and deliver the kiss. Then pull away gently. If his mouth follows yours or he pulls you closer, you can kiss again a bit more strongly and for a longer period of time if you’d like.

Keep your lips soft and your tongue in your mouth. A first kissing encounter isn’t the time for open mouths and spit swapping. Save that for a more intimate time when you’re both ready for a more serious meeting of the mouths.

Easy Step By Step

• Keep your mouth kiss ready with soft lips and fresh breath
• Stay approachable and use body language to signal you’re ready for a kiss
• When kissing, use soft lips and kiss gently then pull away
• If your partner follows you, continue kissing with soft lips for a longer stretch.

Warnings, Advice, and Suggestions

Kissing is just one form of communication in a relationship. Talk about the relationship openly and honestly – especially if you’re ready to take kissing to the next step or hold off on more intimate time together.
