Everybody's been there, worrying about their first kiss. How do you make sure that it's something you’ll both remember, rather than a nightmare you want to forget? Well, while most of it happens naturally, here are 8 pointers to make your kisses irresistible!
Don’t even think about kissing anyone unless you have made sure that your breath is fresh. If you’ve eaten recently, make sure you have gum or a mint to freshen yourself up. However, make sure that you don’t kiss with anything in your mouth, as this can make it feel very awkward.
If your lips are cracked and dry, they wont feel nice to kiss. Try using lipbalm regularly, and lick your lips to make them a little moist just before, as this will make the kiss easier. Trust me, if your lips are too dry, they will hurt the other person!
If you haven't kissed anyone before, this can be one of the most worrying things. Stand close to your partner, and see which way they are tilting their head. Tilt yours the opposite, and start the kiss very gently. Nose clashing etc. can actually be very funny, but make sure you’ve had a decent kiss first!
Approach the moment with a mix of confidence and softness. As you both lean in, keep your lips relaxed. A stiff pucker can feel awkward, so think about keeping them gently parted as if you're saying a quiet "hello". If the height difference poses a bit of a challenge, don't be afraid to adjust your stance slightly—either by bending down a bit or standing on tiptoes. Remember, every pair finds their unique fit, so allow yourselves a moment to find what's most comfortable. And don't forget to close your eyes—it helps in focusing on the sensation and adds to the intensity of the moment.
But only slightly. Let the kiss develop itself, don’t force it.
Opening your lips just a touch allows the kiss to feel more intimate and genuine. Maintain a gentle pressure, without rushing or pushing too hard—think of it as a dance where your lips are moving in sync with your partner’s. If the connection is right, this slight parting of lips can naturally lead to a deeper and more passionate kiss. Remember, kisses speak louder than words, so let the gradual buildup of the moment speak for itself. Listen to what your partner's kissing style tells you and respond in kind.
Holding your breath tends to lead to gasping and spluttering, and this is never attractive! Breathe through your nose, gently, and concentrate on enjoying the kiss rather then holding your breath.
Stroke his face, run your fingers through her hair… do something sensual and loving with your hands, and make the kiss a whole body experience! It's amazing what difference this will make.
A gentle touch can ignite sparks of passion like nothing else. As you lean in for a kiss, let your hands caress your partner’s back, or perhaps explore the curve of their neck. This tender approach signals that you are fully present in the moment and focused on your connection. The sensation of touch enhances the intimacy, making every second of your kiss feel more alive and electric. Remember, your hands possess the power to speak a language all of their own – make sure they whisper sweet, affectionate words as you draw your partner closer.
Putting too much pressure on your partner will make the kiss unenjoyable, and might even hurt them.
But don’t be too soft either…
Feel how hard they are pushing, and match that pressure. This will ensure that you both enjoy the experience without hurting each other!!
Remember, it's like a dance—follow your partner's lead. If you're unsure about the appropriate pressure, start gently and gradually increase until you find a rhythm that both of you are comfortable with. It's a delicate balance, but when done right, it feels intuitive and harmonious. Pay attention to their body language and verbal cues. If they seem to be pulling away, ease up. Kissing should never be a battle for dominance but rather a mutual exploration of affection and desire.
Enjoy yourself! Experiment, and don’t forget to compliment your partner afterwards. Kissing is meant to be fun, so try not to worry too much…
