Kissing is always fun to do – I still remember my first kiss – I think those are things that you will never forget. My husband and I like to talk about our first kiss (with each other, of course). Kissing is romantic and it can really set the mood. Of course, there are some things that you should avoid doing or saying when the two of you are engaged in this intimate moment. Below, I am going to give you 7 things not to do when kissing …

7. Don’t Charge with Your Tongue Sticking out

This one could actually gross the person out. Instead, put your lips together, then insert the tongue. I know, it sounds funny, but that is how it is done. This way, we don’t actually see the tongue.

This one could actually gross the person out. Instead, put your lips together, then insert the tongue. I know, it sounds funny, but that is how it is done. This way, we don’t actually see the tongue. Additionally, timing is essential. Rushing with your tongue straight away can be overwhelming. Gradually build up to it, making the transition smooth and enjoyable for both parties. Be mindful of movements and try to mirror your partner’s actions, ensuring a balanced and reciprocated experience. Furthermore, keeping the tongue subtle and gentle can make the kiss more romantic and intimate.

6. Don’t Keep Pulling Away

Of course, this if you want to be kissed. If you don’t want to be kissed, then you pull away and if that doesn’t work, smack them. Now, if you actually want to be kissed by that person, then don’t keep pulling away.

5. Oxygen

People hate it when you push too hard, shove your tongue down their throat and don’t give enough oxygen. You should do it gently and give room for oxygen. While I said do not keep pulling away, there is a time you need oxygen, so use that time to gently kiss the neck.

4. Don’t Make Jokes

While you are kissing and in an intimate hold, don’t keep making jokes. I think this is a bit childish and guys could get turned off by this one. Especially, if you are making jokes about saliva or something gross.

If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.

3. Don’t Belch

Oh goodness, if you feel that you are about to belch, please don’t do it in their mouth. By all means, ignore number 6 and pull away before you belch!

2. Don’t Pass Your Gum

Unless your partner specifically asks for you to give the gum from your mouth to their mouth, don’t do it. This could totally gross them out.

1. Don’t’ Say Someone else’s Name

While you are kissing, I know things get in the heat of the moment, but you should avoid saying someone else’s name. You definitely should not say your ex girlfriend or boyfriend’s name. Also, don’t go and mention how they used to kiss – this is not the time or the place to do something like that and sometimes, things are better off not said.

Those are 7 things not to do when kissing. If you do these things, then your partner may not respect you so much the next time the two of you kiss. They may also try to avoid giving you kisses from then on out. Oh and as a reminder, before you kiss, make sure you clean your nose, because you would hate to introduce your partner to whatever may be inside your nose. I think I about covered it – do you have a terrible kissing story you would like to share with us?

teehee, my boyfriend and I still talk about this... we met through mutual friends and often hung out at his place. One day, while we were watching a movie on his couch, I was feeling sorta down and unattractive (my hair was dirty and I was getting acne from stress at school) so I pulled my hat over my face. and that's when he "asked me out" by lifting up the bottom of my hat and giving me a kiss. risky on his part, but it worked XD

Why don't people just take the gum out of their mouth to begin with? Are these people really so hooked on gum that they can't go without it even when they're kissing someone?

My first REAL kiss was when I was 14, not like pecks, but make-out! He was my first real boyfriend and we had been talking about the subject for a while. I was nervous because it was my first kiss, but it wasn't his. I was scared because I thought I would be bad. It took me a month and a half of us dating for us to finally kiss! We were laying on his twin bed, which was really tiny! He was spooning me and we were just talking. I turned over and looked him in the eyes and told him how much I liked him. And he told me how much he liked me and how I was so beautiful and he pointed out everything about me that he loved. It was really sweet actually! So I gave him several long closed-mouth kisses and then we just kind of both started in. Afterward we were done, he said, "Are you sure you've never done this before?" I said, "Yeah... Why..?" And then he said, "Because you are a REALLY good kisser! One of the best I've ever kissed." And that's how I had my first kiss! :)

I got my first kiss at 15. My boyfriend and I are so cliche. We'd sat together in school, and we'd been crazy about each other for three years, but we were too scared to say. He asked me out, and it took me 11 days to kiss him; he's my first and only boyfriend, and actually we're engaged now ^^ We were curled up hugging on his bed, and he just looked at me and slowly kissed me. I guess he meant it to be longer, but he was so nervous, and I'd kept shying away before, that he started laughing. I didn't know whether to feel embaressed or cry.

I have had a bad experience with girls eating too spicy foods. Bad breathe can turn me off. eg excess raw onion and garlic are really repulsive

My first kiss was when I was 12. I went roller skating with a bunch of friends. Tim was my boyfriend at the time. We skated all of the couples songs together, and then all of our friends started pressuring us into kissing. Tim and I wanted to kiss, but we didn't want everyone else to make such a big fuss over it. We went into the arcade where about 10 of our closest friends gathered around to watch a 3 second peck on the mouth.
