Learning the Perfect Kiss Technique

Summer Banks
One of the most intimate gestures between two loves, is the kiss. While many believe kissing is second nature and everyone can do it, that is far from the truth. A great kiss is made up a gentle measurements and precise movements. Similar to a fine dessert, in order to make the kiss sweet and enjoyable, you will have to follow a recipe. Great kissing technique does not have to be a natural event, it can be learned. Once you have taken the time to study each of the stages of a kiss, you will forever change this simple gesture into a prequel to something more.

A great kiss is an evolution of steps. From the first eye contact to the ending warm embrace, kissing is more than just two sets of lips touching, it is about the creation of a feeling.

To begin the perfect kiss, you will want to look into the eyes of the kissee and begin the decent toward the mouth. All the while, you will be focusing your energies and vision on their response. Are they engaged? Do they seem to be staring into your eyes as well? There will be an electrical current of sorts between two people who are anticipating the same kiss. Without this current, draw back before you lean in too far.

If the current is evident, move in just a little further. Be sure to gently wet your lips as you lean in. A slow protrusion of the tongue over the lips not only solves the dry lip problem, but builds an energy of love between two people. Just before reaching the point of no return, slow your lean to a crawling pace. Those last few inches should seem to take forever. All the while, the need and desire building between you both.

When you finally can not wait any longer, you can begin the kiss. But, so not go from lip to throat in 0.5 seconds. You want to lightly peck the lips first, small gentle kisses or brushes, if you will. During these small, yet very significant kisses, you will be waiting for the signal to move in further. That signal will either be your partner leaning into you or the classic closing of the eyes.

Once the eyes are closed or the partner leans in, it is time to give yourself fully to the kiss. While, many novice kissers tend to overdue the kiss at this point, with a little practice and self restraint, you both will enjoy the process more than you ever thought possible. Once the full kiss has begun, the process turns more toward a tit for tat types of game. For every little brush of the hand or playful gesture, you will want to respond. If your partner places their hand on the back of your neck, return the touch on a different area of the body. You are not looking to copy your partner, just to let them know you are paying attention.

The perfect kiss can be spoiled in a variety of ways. You will want to avoid jutting your tongue into your partner's mouth in a rough manner. This is not romantic in any sense of the word. Other movements to avoid include, rapid tonguing during a kiss, over wetting the lips of your partner by covering their mouth with yours and kissing with a closed mouth.

Kissing is like making love, the process should take preparation and skill. While the kiss may only last for a few minutes, the preparation begins from the time your eyes meet for the very first time. A great kiss can certainly mean the difference between friends and lovers.
