Basic Kissing Tips GREAT BREATH This is very important. Make sure you brush your teeth before going out on your date. There is nothing worse than kissing someone with bad breath. If your date consists of having something to eat before the actual kiss, make sure you have a mint on hand to take right after you finish eating. Don't take the mint just before the kiss or chew on gum. You don't want to have something in your mouth when you kiss. MOIST LIPS You want your lips to be slightly moist when you kiss. Run your tongue over your lips once before you kiss. Don't wear lip gloss because that tends to make the kiss too gooey. And don't wear a lot of lipstick unless you want your partner to wear it too after the kiss. Slightly moist lips makes it easier to move your lips over your partner's and gives both you and your partner a more pleasant experience. POSITIONING Stand close to your partner. As the two of you move closer together tilt your head slightly. If you can see which way your partner's head is tilting, tilt your head slightly in the opposite direction. CLOSE EYES Just before your lips meet, close your eyes. Some people prefer to leave their eyes open during the kiss. But until you know what your partner prefers, it is best to close OPEN LIPS Open your mouth slightly and place your lips over your partner's lips. Do not hold your breath! Breath through your nose. As your lips meet, press them gently over your partner's. You may wish to move your lips in a slow, circular motion or just leave them still over your partners. Relax Don't be too rigid or tense. Just go with the flow. Where Do You Put Your Hands So, now you're kissing. You don't want to just hold your hands on your lap. Here are some ideas for those hands: Don't get too touchy feely too soon. Run your fingers through his or her hair. Cup his or her face in your hands. Place your hand on her cheek and glide it back into her hair, maybe to the back of her head so you can grasp her and pull her towards you. Caress your lover's back, arms, neck, shoulders, cheeks. Hold Hands Don't Limit Kissing To The Lips Here are some other places to kiss your lover. NECK The neck was the number one place that men and women liked to be kissed. BACK This was also a popular place people enjoyed being kissed. Try kissing down his or her spine then blowing a line of air up the line of kisses. EARS Nibble, suck, kiss the earlobe, lick, trace the outer edge of the ear, kiss behind the ear.Trace around the outside of your lover's ear with your tongue. If you want to draw this out make circles around the edge of their ear that get smaller and smaller as you approach the center, then softly blow some cool air across their wet skin. For a warm effect place your lips next to their skin and inhale gently. Do not inhale with your lips over their ear canal...ouch! Flicker their earlobe with the tip of your tongue CHECKS FOREHEAD HAND WRISTS You can hold your partner's hand and trace figure eights on the underside of their wrist with the tip of your tongue....very sensual. ALONG THE JAWBONE AND OF COURSE OTHER PLACES How Do I know If She Wants To Kiss Me? She looks at your lips a lot. She tilts her head to the side while looking at you (this is an unconscious move, it has been proven in studies) She looks into your eyes without breaking the eye contact for more than a few seconds She tells you that she is attracted to you, physically.
