Whether it’s your first kiss or your thousandth, whether it’s with someone new or with your longtime partner, kissing leaves an impression — one that lingers long after your lips have disengaged.
And, experts say, kissing plays an important role in most relationships. “It fosters romantic compatibility,” says Michael Christian, author of The Art of Kissing. “The more that people kiss, the more they’re able to communicate on a romantic level.”
Speak Up
Many couples hesitate to talk about kissing out of embarrassment. But if your first kiss — or any of the many that follow — isn’t what you’re hoping for, talk about it.
Don’t be shy about telling your partner what you like or asking what your partner prefers. Just don’t do it while you’re kissing so your partner doesn’t take it as a rebuke.
Men’s and Women’s Kissing Mistakes
Most of us have clear preferences — turn-ons — when it comes to kissing styles.
As men, our biggest mistake is that we’re too aggressive with ourtongues. And then we claim that women don’t open their mouths wide enough.
For both sexes, our No. 1 kissing complaint is lack of variety. When kissing, make sure you kiss the different parts of your partner’s face and paying special attention to the ears and neck, biting softly on the lower lip and nibbling gently on the earlobe.
Make It Memorable
Two keys to a memorable kiss are pleasing your partner and pleasing yourself.
“Put your whole body into the kiss,” says Marilyn Anderson, author of Never Kiss a Frog: A Girl’s Guide to Creatures from the Dating Swamp. “Without words, your lips should say, ‘Baby, there’s more where that came from!’ There are ways to keep it fresh and new all the time.”
Make sure you start with gentle kisses on the neck, move up to the ear, then go to the lips. Take some small breaks and then come back to the lips.
And don’t get hung up on what a kiss might lead to. Enjoy it for its own sake.
Put a hand on her neck. It adds passion, like ‘I can’t get enough.’ And let’s be honest. That’s what makes for a great kiss.
A good kiss is deep and soulful and you should feel each other’s love through the kiss. A great kiss is an adventure in itself, not a stepping point to something else.
Don’t Fall Off the Kissing Wagon
Steamy make-out sessions usually happen early on in a relationship or during the honeymoon period.
But later on, when people are in a long-term relationship, they too often stop kissing and lose that intimate connection, Anderson says. In a poll, it was discovered that 79% of women don’t kiss their husbands nearly as much as they’d like. And frankly i don’t understand why, maybe I’ll ask my mom when i do see her. I pray i don’t get that slap i haven’t received in years.
“You’ve got to keep kissing in the game,” Anderson says. “The emotional importance of a kiss is where it all begins and you shouldn’t let it go just because you’ve known someone for a long time.”
When you kiss your partner, it’s like you’re telling him/her, ‘I love you’, but without words.
Kisses helps you explore and know each other on a ,much deeper level.
Now you know!
