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?

Everyone likes a boody call!!!! I know I do:P but for real I love my gf and my first kiss with her was outside the lunch room at school:P it was at 8 pm and she up against the wall and we were just talking and snuggling and just enjoying every second of it. I leaned in and kissed her real soft and just sat there. I loved that night and it will be one of the most memorable ill ever have. I'm a guy btw

pulling away during a kiss if is done right is also teasing and it can be a great turn on for a guy.. well from my experience at least :)

Herm... They seem to have forgotten the most important rule which is to make sure you don't have bad breath or any remnants of your last meal in your mouth or between your teeth. Nothing makes for a nicer kiss than if you use mouthwash then brush your teeth first.

I had my first kiss when I was 14, in a park with my crush. My friends were kinda pressuring us into doing it but we both wanted to of course. He already had his and I was extremely nervous. He didnt pressure me one bit, and comforted me the whole time, it was really sweet and romantic for just one peck. We ended up really liking each other for a awhile, but he just wanted to make sure that he REALLY liked me before we got into a serious relationship. So I waited an waited. A week or so later, we made out and about 2 or 3 days after we made out, he told everyone my breathe stunk and that he didnt like me anymore because of a class i was taking that's considered 'low class' in my school because my parents forced me. and he didnt want that to ruin his reputation. I cried a little, but my friends wouldnt let me. They told me I shouldnt waste one tear on him. They were right. I kept waiting and waiting for him to ask me out, but he didnt and crushed my heart without even thinking twice.
