Was it during a game of Truth or Dare? Or maybe it was a cheeky Seven Minutes in Heaven that encouraged someone\u2019s lips to be pressed against yours!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However your first kiss went down, it\u2019s fair to say that the encounter was unlike anything you\u2019ve ever experienced. Feeling someone\u2019s tongue swirling around in your mouth, saliva swimming and shared between the two of you &#8211; it\u2019s daunting and strange, but also kind of erotic. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And after that, making out becomes the staple of almost any first date, relationship, or marriage. It\u2019s a sign of affection, intimacy, love, and lust. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But choosing the right time and the right kind of kiss can make all of the difference. It can transform your experience, and has the power to send a strong and passionate message.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How To Kiss Someone Properly<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re still somewhat new to the game, or you\u2019re looking for some additional tips to create sparks of magic during a kiss, here are some tricks to help you be an excellent kisser:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Eye Contact:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Lock eyes with the one you\u2019re hoping to smooch, generate a warm smile, and lean in slowly. If your partner mimics your sentiments, it\u2019s probably a great time to go in for a kiss on a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/35-first-date-ideas-and-everything-you-need-to-know-about-acing-a-first-date\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">first date<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Slow and Steady:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Sudden movements, especially during a first kiss, are generally not the way to go. Passionate, hungry kisses come with time and comfortability.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Hands:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Be sure to keep your hands busy as not to appear nervous or uncomfortable. Gently caress your partner\u2019s body, like cupping their face or touching their waist.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Take a Break:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To create the element of desire, take a small break during your kiss. Pull back for a second, look into their eyes again and smile. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Finishing:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> When you\u2019re ready to finish making out, give gentle pecks and slowly pull away. After, compliment your partner with things like, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThat was perfect\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That was fun\u201d.<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>For those who have a more developed relationship:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Add in a few kisses to other parts of your partner\u2019s body, such as their neck or cheek. Gentle bites are also great, if you\u2019re both into it. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/talk-way-dirty-talking-tips\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use soft whispers to create a warm and sexually-charged atmosphere<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To Use Tongue or Not to Use Tongue?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The chances of you having experienced a terrible kiss are high. You know, when someone shoves their tongue in your mouth and swirls it around without method or technique. And it\u2019s safe to say that this type of kiss is usually met unfavourably. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which is why, choosing the right moment and approach to using tongue is so important. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>For a first kiss<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: You really don\u2019t want to overdo it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start with gentle kisses that don\u2019t involve tongue. If it feels right, and your partner is actively enjoying the sweet locking of lips, slowly introduce your tongue. Use teasing at times, and methodical rhythm at others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s also important to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/7-relationship-goals-keep-spark-burning-red-hot\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">work with your partner<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Making out is like a dance&#8230;in your mouth. And it takes two to tango. Vibe off of your partner and you should both follow each other\u2019s style to compliment one another.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, these tips apply for non-first kisses and couples too. But we\u2019d hope that, by now, you\u2019ve got your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/5-kissing-tips-even-better-sex\/\">technique down to perfection<\/a> with the one you\u2019re regularly kissing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Is The Right Time to Go For That First Kiss?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Going on a first date is nerve-wracking enough! So when it comes to the end of the date, it\u2019s normal for anxiety levels to be high, wondering whether you should lean in for a first kiss. And <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">should you even be going in for a kiss on the first date at all<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to matchmaker, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Julie Bekker<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere is no need to wait\u201d. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She recommends that, \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re feeling it, kiss them<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interestingly, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heather Kristian Strang<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a mission-based organization focused on spreading love, is in agreement with the above statements. She says, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI find it best to take the pressure off and allow the date to flow organically. If that includes a kiss, that\u2019s lovely. If not, that\u2019s wonderful too.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, that was fairly simply, wasn\u2019t it?<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does He or She Like You? <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s In His (Her) Kiss, That\u2019s Where It Is\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Shoop Shoop Song <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by Cher is not only entirely catchy, but it\u2019s also pretty accurate. According to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Susan Winter<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a relationship expert, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf the kiss was a little awkward, that\u2019s <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/does-she-have-feelings-for-you-here-are-10-signs-she-likes-you\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a clear indication that he or she likes you<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, Winter is a big advocate for the simple yet potent kiss as a sign that he or she likes you. She says that a simple kiss can be more meaningful than making out with tongues, especially if you\u2019re looking for a relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is Kissing More Intimate than Sex?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quite a funny notion, but is kissing more intimate than sex? A popular consensus, especially among women, is that it is. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2013\/10\/131010205142.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a study conducted by Oxford University<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> revealed that women considered kissing to be an expression of intimacy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was also found that women tend to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/not-fast-enjoy-sex-slow-lane\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">kiss before intercourse<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, not as a precursor for sex, but as a means to judge whether their partner has potential as a long-term mate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, to kiss someone means gazing into their eyes and embracing one another based solely on feelings &#8211; including vulnerability. During sex however, it\u2019s easy to close your eyes and be whisked away to another place or imagine different things.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, to kiss is about adoration. There\u2019s something magical that can come about during a perfect kiss. With sex, it can merely be about <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/science-desire-subtracting-adds\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sexual desire<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and getting off. This makes sex less personable and less intimate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And to end off the argument, is kissing is more intimate than sex, I\u2019ll leave you with this quote by poet, e.e. Cummings:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kisses<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are a better fate than wisdom.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Check this out:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/french-word-french-kiss-now\/\">Did You Know that there was No French Word for \u2018French Kissing\u2019?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you remember your first kiss?
