“French kissing tips: a hot, wet kiss usually starts off strong and invasive. It floods the mouth with a tongue and opens the mouth wide. A wet kiss can sometimes include licking of the lips and around the lips; even the face can be licked.”
From the Life Script Network article “How to Kiss A Man”
This is perhaps the worst advice I have seen on the internet since Shannon turned over her blog to ZipCode and she espoused the virtues of waxed berries as an appropriate form of Manscaping.
I have examined kissing technique before – the core of my position is that the quality of the kiss ties to the compatibility of styles – but I did not provide any concrete suggestions for being a better kisser. In an effort to be one contrary voice to the generally horrid advice from Life Script, I offer:
The Refugee’s Guide to Kissing
Kiss with your entire body
Alternate speed
Communicate with the kiss
Gentle biting is hot
Understand that a hickey is a bruise – adults don’t bruise each other (unless both parties are into that)
Place your hands on my face, neck, back, head, ass, or anywhere else they are inspired to roam
Talk to me
Guide me
Find that spot where neck meets torso
Kiss me hello
Kiss me goodbye
Kiss me for no discernable reason
Understand that kissing does not have to be a precursor and is a lovely end in and of itself.
Kiss with urgency
If forced to make a choice, slow is better than fast, gentle better than forceful
Fast and forceful have a place too
Match my pace
Set the pace
Find a rhythm
Pull away, give me a knowing look and start all over again
Kiss like you mean it
Don’ts
Use your tongue indiscriminately
Lick any part of my face, teeth, or ear
Draw blood – unless asked; I will never ask
Leave trails of saliva
Fake anything
