KISSING

Kissing is probably the most physically romantic two people can get. There really is no wrong way to kiss. The thing to remember is
that everybody kisses differently and different people prefer different ways of kissing. Some people, believe it or not, are appalled at
the idea of French Kissing or using your tongue while you kiss. While others can't imagine kissing without using your tongue. The
thing is to try kissing that person a few times before deciding how you and your partner prefer kissing and to get used to the way
that person kisses.

A first kiss should always be done while the two of you are alone. This will help to avoid any unnecessary nervousness and
embarrassing situations. The best type of kiss is one that uses different variations, such as starting with a small kiss, working into a
French Kiss, maybe sucking on your partner's upper or lower lip, then trying the other two types. And don't just leave kisses to the
lips. Kiss their cheeks, their chin or their eyelids. This can be very seductive and romantic.

The perfect kiss is one that is done with someone you really care about. There is more caring and sincerity in a kiss with someone
special than with someone you hardly know, although a really good kiss can certainly bring two people closer together.

A lot of people have been writing to us on how to overcome the fear of kissing someone. Our answer would be to not kiss that person
right away. Wait until an attraction builds between the two of you and a romantic situation evolves. Go out with the person a couple
of times before having that first kiss.

Basic Kissing Tips

Great Breath - This is very important. Make sure you brush your teeth before going out on your date. There is nothing worse than
kissing someone with bad breath. If your date consists of having something to eat before the actual kiss, make sure you have a mint
on hand to take right after you finish eating. Don't take the mint just before the kiss or chew on gum. You don't want to have
something in your mouth when you kiss.

Moist Lips - You want your lips to be slightly moist when you kiss. Run your tongue over your lips once before you kiss. Don't wear
lip gloss because that tends to make the kiss too gooey. And don't wear a lot of lipstick unless you want your partner to wear it too
after the kiss. Slightly moist lips makes it easier to move your lips over your partner's and gives both you and your partner a more
pleasant experience.

Positioning - Stand close to your partner. As the two of you move closer together tilt your head slightly. If you can see which way
your partner's head is tilting, tilt your head slightly in the opposite direction.

Close Eyes - Just before your lips meet, close your eyes. Some people prefer to leave their eyes open during the kiss. But until you
know what your partner prefers, it is best to close your eyes.

Open Lips - Open your mouth slightly and place your lips over your partner's lips. Do not hold your breath! Breath through your
nose. As your lips meet, press them gently over your partner's. You may wish to move your lips in a slow, circular motion or just
leave them still over your partners.

Closed Lips - This is like the type of kiss you'd give your grandma or aunt. Instead of opening your mouth when your lips meet,
keep them closed. This is also a good way of letting your partner know this is as far as it goes. It also makes a great hello/good-bye
kiss or a great first time kiss if you're nervous.

French Kissing

This is the most popular type of kiss. This involves touching your tongue with your partner's and it can be quite a pleasant
experience. There are a few tips to create a great french kiss.

Open Lips - Open your lips over your partner's slightly more than you would during a regular kiss. This makes it easier to place your
tongue in your partner's mouth.

Tongue - Place the tip of your tongue on the tip of your partner's tongue. Do not force your tongue too far into their mouth. If you
wish, you can play with their tongue by circling theirs with your own. Have fun with it. Explore.

Lips - You may explore different ways of using your tongue. Try running the tip of your tongue over your partner's lips. Do this slowly
and gently, just using the tip of your tongue.

Suck Kissing

This can be a very seductive type of kiss. Instead of French Kissing with your mouth open, while your partner's lips are parted suck
on their top our bottom lip with your own, just for a second or two. Then go back to another type of kiss or try the other lip.

Nip Kissing

This type of kiss has to be done carefully, but when done correctly can create a wonderful effect on your partner. While suck
kissing, gently bite their lip, but be VERY gentle so as not to hurt your partner. This kiss should only be done with someone that
you've kissed a few times before, otherwise you may shock your partner.

Surprise Kissing

This type of kiss is done when your partner is lying down on a sofa or the ground, either asleep or just lying with their eyes closed.
Quietly approach your partner and place a small, very gentle kiss on their lips. Intensify the kiss until your partner opens their eyes
or awakens.
