Things Not to Do When Kissing.

Stop thinking so much about your next move. This is not chess.

You wish you and your partner spend more time kissing?

Yes.

Keep your mind from drifting off into your to-do list. You're kissing someone you genuinely like. Think about how often that happens. Not that often! Remembering all the reasons you wanted to kiss them in the first place will make the kissing better for you and for them.

Never go from 0 (kissing) to 60 (crazy sex action) unless she explicitly tell you she wants that. It was horrifying, neither felt good, nor honestly, it made me want to smack and never kiss anyone again. Move slowly, observe your partner, and ask if they don't specifically tell you.

Don’t go in too fast or forcefully. Kissing should be enjoyed and savored. And those first moments should be more of a hint of what’s to come.

Don’t lead with tongue. Tongue should be introduced slowly. When you do add in that tongue, remember to keep it supple and relaxed. Too often people use their tongue either like a hockey stick (stiff and hard) or a dog (sloppy and wet). Exercise a little control, and be mindful that the tongue is a very strong muscle not to be bandied about.

Don’t think of kissing only as a means to sex. A long, languorous smooching session can do your body good. It lowers blood pressure, boosts happy feel-good chemicals, relieves stress and aches, and burns calories. Enjoy the intimacy, pleasure and fun of it.

Don’t just stick to the lips. Yes, that's a great place to start but may I also present to you: the neck, the ears, the cheeks, the nose, all very kissable places for very different reasons.

Thank you ...Listen to what their mouth is trying to tell you. A lot of the time, the way your partner is kissing you is the way your partner wants to be kissed. So in the beginning especially, pay attention to how they're kissing you and where they're kissing you because in all likelihood, that's what they're hoping for on your end as well.

Don’t lead with hard biting. A lip bite can be cool but some people don't like it or they like varied levels of pressure. If you're not sure which one they're into, do not sink your teeth into their lips like you're eating steak.

Lean in, man! Again, this is about balance, but I've definitely had more guys who were too gentle and almost felt like they were on sedatives while kissing. Gentle is a great starting place but there's a reason why movie kisses are hard and passionate and not passive and sleepy.

Passion is good. Punching their face with your face is not good at all. Pressure can be a great thing but if you feel like they're leaning away from you to alleviate some of that pressure, ease up. Definitely try to control your saliva so it does not become a river that runs through you both.

Do you want to add a word or two?....

Kissing is the most intimate thing you and your partner can do. (Like, sorry, but there’s a reason why Julia Roberts refused to kiss the dude in Pretty Woman, ?mmk … ?means "Mmmm, Okay.) and yet, somehow, it’s often what couples neglect the most when sex becomes introduced into the relationship.

But … FWIW (for what it's worth)… is a gdam travesty considering the power of kissing your partner. Not only does it release all those feel good endorphins (similarly to sex), but in my personal opinion, no 10 minutes of humping can equate to the amount of love that just one kiss holds.

Your comments........?

There’s also just so much variety in the type of kiss you and your partner share—and for the most part, they all have different meanings. It’s like a spectrum: One kiss could indicate, “Hey, I’m ready for you to be inside of me like yesterday” and another could mean that you feel safe, happy, and loved, but don’t necessarily want things to lead to sex.

Some kisses don’t even have to be shared with your intimate partner!

So if you’re ready to up your kiss game and add some extra oomph to your puckered up lips and in some cases, for the close people in your life. After all, making out is le best for showing affection.

Royal Hand Kiss

A person kissing the top of another’s offered hand is the most formal of kisses. The traditional ritual doesn’t imply affection—it's more a polite and respectful greeting among strangers meeting for the first time.

Air Kiss

Air-kissing is a social gesture that involves pursing your lips and leaning in as if you’re kissing, but without actually touching the other person’s cheek (the little “mwah” sound is optional). It can be a hello or a goodbye and communicates endearment—like, something you may do with a friend or family member when you're saying goodbye.

Cheek Kiss

Very popular in Europe, one or two light kisses on the cheek is a friendly greeting that says “happy to see you” between friends, family, partners, and sometimes, strangers. But say it happens with a romantic partner post-date, assume it's their respectful way of telling you they had a great time, but want to take things slow.

Forehead Kiss

“The forehead kiss is atypical, which makes it more memorable,” Not only is it compassionate and warm, but it communicates love in a non-sexual way. The gesture is typically reserved for someone special, like someone you're really feeling.

Eskimo Kiss

Some think it’s corny, but some couples love to rub noses because it’s “their thing” and unique to the relationship. There’s no lip-touching in an Eskimo kiss, but it’s intimate without being sexual. You have to be very close to someone, whether you’re looking into their eyes or closing your eyes and feeling their breath.

Single Lip Kiss

This seductive, warm-up move involves kissing the person’s bottom lip while they kiss your top lip (or vice-versa). The single lip kiss is a playful tease; an offer that maybe there’s more to come...

French Kiss

Oui, oui! The open-mouth kiss with tongue is all types of erotic—there’s almost no other kiss that connects two people more. But keep it for the bedroom, mmk? It's probably not supes appropriate when you're tonguing at a funeral or a Starbucks.

Bite Kiss

Kissing and playful biting on the lips, cheeks, jawline, collarbone, or neck can be really tantalizing. How hard you nibble is of personal preference, so make sure to tell your man what really drives you crazy. And while it makes for a seductive first-time hookup, introduce the idea slowly. Go easy to start and you’ll know if it’s well-received. If the person pulls back, it’s off the table.

Lizard Kiss

Just tongues, and that’s it. The lizard kiss is an unconventional type of foreplay that two people really have to find sexy… but, hey, don’t knock it ’til you try it!

Neck Kiss

Neck kisses are highly depicted in movies and most often referenced in romance novels starring Fabio-esque male leads, but they’re even more sensual IRL (in real life). The neck is an underrated erogenous zone full of delicate, sensitive nerve endings, making for very fiery foreplay —especially for women.

Body Kiss

Beside the neck, there are tons of other areas on the body worth kissing, including the chest, stomach, torso, feet, and booty. All this depends on an individual’s sexual preferences and ticklish meter. Remember, what feels good to one person might not feel good to another. “If you really pay attention to your partner's body language, you’re going to get a lot of information," says Richmond.

This gives mouth-to-mouth a whole new meaning.
