How To Be A Good Kisser

After yesterday’s post, Kisses: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, I’ve been thinking about what makes a good kisser, a Good Kisser. Are there specials techniques or tricks?  Perhaps, but really I think that a good kisser is like a good lover – each require someone who is both generous and really paying attention to their partner.

Here are a few more tips:

*Do not underestimate the importance of fresh breath. If you can’t get to a toothbrush, carry some sugar-less gum with xylitol. It will clean your teeth and give your breath a boost.

*Be well-hydrated. Drink some water. Dry mouth, sticky kisses are not pleasant.

*Take it slow. There’s no race to the finish line, even if you are thinking about the next step, take your time with the kissing. Be in the moment.

*Start with the lips. Please. They are just as important, if not more important than the tongue.

*Start with a little tongue. If you read the comments I got yesterday, most women are not fans of the Dagger Tongue Assault. Keep your tongue relaxed; it’s not a weapon, but it shouldn’t floppy either. 

*Pay attentionto your partner. Is your guy/girl looking like they are into it or do they look panicked? Back off and reassess the situation. Adjust your technique.

*Go ahead use your personal style and tricks, but start slow, gentle. Nibble, don’t bite. Drawing blood isn’t sexy to most non-vampires.
