And, it turns out, people totally love it. When asked what they most love in a kiss, being good with your hands came up nearly every time. You would think this would go without saying, but I think we've all been burned by a pair of crusty lips or coffee breath. So if you know you're going to be going in for a kiss, a good kisser would make sure they have brushed their teeth, flossed, and used mouthwash. Good kissers also skip the sticky lip gloss and keep their lips soft with chapstick.
And while they might give in to the urge to order a garlicky dinner, they are sure to pop a mint before giving someone a kiss. Remember: Even if kissing style isn't important to you, this is the least you can do for your partner.
Just like outfits, there's a kiss for every situation. You wouldn't kiss someone the same way on the first date as you would when you're on a family trip with relatives.
Being able to read the situation and find out what kind of kiss is appropriate will set you apart. In the same vein, mastering different types of kissing will help you even in more intimate settings. Sticking with one type of kiss can get boring, so vary it up by moving between French kisses, shorter kisses, and neck kisses. Wrap them around your partner, touch their arms, back, or face, or head for one of their erogenous zones.
How to be good at forehead kisses. When incorporated at the right time, this move can be super-intimate and dreamy. The key here is eye contact. Look into your partner's eyes, then pull back and land a soft, lingering but still brief smooch on their forehead. You can round it out with more eye contact if it feels right. Remember, different people like different things. Maybe your ex loved it when you bit their lower lip, but your new partner wants you to keep your teeth away from their skin, thanks.
On this episode of Dear, Black Love we watch newly married couple, Brea and Mariah, share their modern love story. Want to show affection in public without full-blown PDA? A quick peck on the shoulder while waiting in line at the movie theater is perfect. Because, yes, consent is sexy. Feeling a little nervous? Start the kiss with slow, gentle, and light pressure. Want to stretch it out longer? Try varying pressure slightly, or shifting your focus from their top lip to the bottom lip.
Less is definitely more. When in doubt, mirror what your partner is doing. Most people tend to kiss in a way they enjoy, and it should always be an exchange — not one person running the show. Less is more, especially when it comes to anything tongue related. Nobody likes saliva all over their face. Instead, start with brief, gentle touches with the tip of your tongue to theirs. Not only is it a drool fest, an unexpected tongue in your mouth is the least sexy thing ever.
And not in a sexy tug-on-the-lip kind of way. Make sure to breathe obviously , and find what feels good for both you and your partner. When in doubt? Then, try grazing past the tip of their tongue and pull back. Circle the tip of their tongue, then pull back.
The pull back gives you time to breathe and keeps from an overflow of saliva. When you're feeling up for it, you can try running your tongue just along the inside of their upper lip, or pull a quick lick under their top lip in a sort of come-here maneuver.
I'm sorry—the thought of someone "nibbling" on my lip the way I nibble on straws and pen caps and beef jerky is honestly terrifying. Why do we still tell each other to nibble?
Good teeth action starts with taking bae's bottom lip between your front teeth, giving a gentle tug, and letting go. When you think about it, it's not an actual nibble. Before kissing, lean in and swipe your lips past theirs, slowly and lightly, then pull back. Take a one-two pause to bask in your partners "I need your face" reaction before going in for the kill. And for those feeling sassy: If you've taken a break and are getting ready to lean back in, build up some anticipation by pulling back a half-inch and smiling.
A little tantalization goes a long way. When you first start in on the monumental kiss you've been waiting all these months for, you might wonder, what am I supposed to do with my hands? Stick to the good spots, my friend. Here are all the best options:. Place both of your hands on either side of their head, then slide them back into their hair. Put one on their lower back and one behind the neck can also venture into Hair Land. Try both hands lightly resting on their chest. Or, opt for both hands on their hips, which you can then sneak around their lower back for a squeeze.
Pull on the neck of their shirt a little bit. Lastyly, try running a few fingers up and down their spine, down the nape of their neck, or hovering around their cheeks and jaw. Pause an aggressive kisser by leaning back, putting a hand gently on their collarbone, and approaching very slowly — almost like saying, "Chill. Take it down four notches. Like this. Pray that they've read this article and know how to mirror.
