In the game of kissing, there are more DON’Ts than dos – and you should definitely be mindful of them.
Admit it. Most of us have probably experienced at least one awful kiss. The funniest part is that some of us think we’re pro-level kissers, when we’re mere amateurs. Smooching is such a beautiful, passionate method of strengthening your relationship with your partner, and involves much more than merely locking lips.
No matter how many times you kiss your lover, each exchange should be flawless. It may seem challenging right now, but it’s really not that hard at all. All you have to do to be good is refrain from doing dumb, disgusting things. To help you snog like an expert, here are 9 things you should NEVER do when kissing!
Leading With Your Tongue
A mushy, moist tongue touching your lips for the first time is certain to break the spell during a kiss, even if the rest of the kiss is exquisite. Always lead with your lips when starting a kiss. Wait till the proper time to introduce your tongue once you’ve found the beat.
Smothering
Most people become fervent and long for an especially energising kiss. Who wouldn’t want it, right? But if you come on too strong, you’ll cause suffering rather than pleasure. Avoid getting too passionate and choking the person you are kissing. This could come across as harsh and threatening; as a result, they may be turned off or downright hesitant to continue.
Holding Your Breath
Although a kiss might literally take your breath away, please don’t let that happen!
If you’re having trouble breathing during a kiss, it can be because you two are bumping noses or you’re standing awkwardly. Just take a quick break between kisses every few seconds to breathe if you make yourselves comfortable but still have trouble breathing. You don’t want to faint in the middle of a kiss, for sure.
Opening The Human Tap
Although saliva production varies from person to person, you can somewhat regulate how much of it ends up on the face of the person you’re kissing. Be mindful of how much saliva you push out of your mouth when kissing, and pay attention to how your mouth opens. If you’re getting saliva all over your partner’s face or chin, you’ve probably gone too far. Furthermore, no one should need a towel to cover their face when making out.
Drifting Away
Generally speaking, while some people focus on the act of kissing itself, others see it as a stopover on the path to sex. You won’t put out your best effort if you are worried about what will occur next or later that night. Do more than the bare minimum. A meaningful way to establish a physical connection with someone you care about is through kissing. But be careful not to use every kiss as an excuse for sex. A kiss shouldn’t always extend past the lips because doing so could make your partner feel uneasy.
Smacking Sounds
The distinctive sound that competitors make as they lock lips is audible to anyone who has ever watched a reality show. If you can hear the “smacking” sound, you can be creating too much suction even if you aren’t being mic’d up on a reality TV show. There will inevitably be some noise, but try to move more slowly to prevent a ruckus.
Peeking
Ever wonder why when we kiss, we close our eyes? For two reasons: first, it’s a lovely moment; and second, who enjoys having someone stare them in the face?
When you kiss your spouse, make sure to close your eyes; otherwise, it will be awkward and uncomfortable for them. The major purpose of closing your eyes while kissing is to prevent any disruptions and to strengthen the bond between you both. Instead of letting your eyes wander, you may now concentrate on the here and now.
Chewing
The teeth are important in everything mouth-related. That is true for both eating and kissing. Keep in mind though, they are not the same. To give the whole thing a sensual touch, lightly nip and bite, paying specific attention to the bottom lip. Don’t eat your partner’s lips by biting or chewing on them! Also, be cautious while making hickeys or with forceful biting. Some find it alluring, while others find it unpleasant. Getting the hint and taking the initiative are all that are needed, despite how perplexing it sounds.
Groping
Hands fumbling around? Totally sexy. But just hold that thought. Your partner might not be comfortable with the touching part just yet or they might be overly sensitive. It’s better to refrain from caressing the love handles and Michelin tyres on anyone, regardless of gender, since it will make them feel self-conscious and will only ruin the moment for both of you. Test the other person’s comfort level by caressing the back of their neck, shoulders and back before letting them go any further. It might be a bit much for one occasion and a big turn-off if the other person finds it strange, desperate, or just plain inappropriate.
