Kissing plays an obvious and important role in romance. It’s often the first
time many people know they’re in love — quickened pulse, butterflies, maybe
even fireworks. But kissing seems to be a lost art form these days.
Ready to reclaim it? Any man who masters these eight techniques to
becoming a kissing master deserves a second date:
1. Towel off. Kisses are not meant to be wet. Sure, lips are
intrinsically moist, but no one wants to kiss fish lips.
2. Moisturize. Lips that are dry or chapped feel like kissing
sandpaper. Find a favorite lip balm and get into the habit of using it
often.
3. Freshen up. If garlic and onions have to accompany every meal,
make sure you carry breath spray or mints with you at all times. Excuse
yourself before you start to pitch woo and give your breath a boost!
4. Shut up. First dates are not the place to practice your French
kissing skills. While some people love to French kiss, others do not. It’s
way too intimate, and first dates should leave ‘em wanting more.
5. Tantalize. Small, strategic kisses on the ears, lips and neck
can be as effective — or more effective — than a long, lingering kiss that
lasts a lifetime.
6. Be creative. Kissing is more than locked-lips; it can entail
nibbling, licking and caressing someone’s lips. You can also use your hands
on their back, face, lips or hips to add an extra level of sensation to any
kiss.
7. Focus. Concentrate on the kiss. Close your eyes and enjoy the
sensation of lips on yours. Let your mind go; be in the moment.
8. Stop. No means no. If a date shies away from kissing on the
first date, don’t press the issue. Leave something to look forward to on the
next date.
Mastering the eight techniques of a kissing master takes practice.
