RULES IN KISSING

What was your first kiss like? Can you still remember it? Have you had enough practice? Are you confident enough to say to yourself and to others that you’re a good kisser?

Kissing is not just about locking lips together or frenching your tongue out on each other. Nope, kissing has some rules and boundaries that you need to follow. And if you haven’t tried kissing yet, consider this as your starter guide. If you have, check out what we have to say and comment below if you agree or disagree with KnowCebu’s Rules in Kissing.

 

KISSING RULE#0. Freshness is next to godliness!

This rule shouldn’t even need to be on here because it should be practiced by all, even when you’re not going to kiss anybody. I can’t stress this enough, keep your breath fresh at all times! No one would want to kiss someone with bad breath, so make sure you don’t have one. Of course brushing your teeth and/or using mouthwash is still the most effective way to get the desired result, but during emergencies, a fresh mint candy or gum should suffice. So have mercy on the other person and save yourself from embarrassment. A Tic Tac goes a long way!

 

KISSING RULE#1. Kissing is Not to French Kissing!

Just like french fries of french toast, you don’t need to go to France or kiss a French national to know what a french kiss is like. But it is different from a normal kiss we usually do.

People usually interchange kissing and french kissing, which in reality, are two totally different things. Normal kissing is just using your lips and nothing more. Keeping your mouth closed and only letting your lips do their thing. This is the romantic kiss we usually see in chick flicks, Disney movies, and MTRCB approved teleseryes.

TIP#1: Just relax, don’t purse your lips too much so that it would remain soft and very kissable, certain to make the other party wanting for more.

 

KISSING RULE#2. Beso De Lengua!

Now you know the difference between normal kissing and french kissing, let’s talk about the latter. Kissing shouldn’t be constrained to simply a mere locking of lips. If the opportunity presents itself and both are consenting parties then the option of using tongue when kissing should be on the table. French kissing is when you use your tongue and do a slight tongue wrestle while smooching. French kissing is an art, a technique. Do it correctly and your partner will definitely be wanting for more!

Warning: Some people, usually girls, may not prefer frenching during the early stages of dating. So be sure to read the signs first.

TIP#2: The tip of your tongue should be more enough to wrestle with your opponent. Be slow and gentle. This isn’t the WWE, so don’t overdo it!

 

KISSING RULE#3. Don’t Be A Dog!

Hahaha! I can still recall my high school friends who tried to practice kissing using an ice cream cone. My dear classmates, by now, I’m sure (I hope) you’ve learned the error of your ways. Licking is not kissing. If you’re doing what the French do, then the tongue should just stay inside the mouth, or at least inside the other person’s mouth, and not have it touching any other part of the other persons face. Licking my face is a privilege reserved only for my dogs. So don’t act like one. Unless you do want to be treated like a dog, then feel free to kiss and bend over like one.

 

KISSING RULE#4. Only For A Few Seconds!

A kiss is a short, but sweet, gesture. If you kiss longer than a couple of seconds, I highly suggest to go get yourselves a room or find somewhere private to do it. That is no longer kissing. That’s already torrid kissing, and most probably both of you are in really a heated mood ready to rip each other’s clothes off. So if you don’t plan on getting in bed with your partner (yet), then just keep it short. Children may be watching!

 

KISSING RULE#5. Be Sensitive!

Accommodate the other person’s actions or needs. If she/he tilts their heads to the left while kissing, tilt your head to the right. And vice versa. If you stick to tilting your head in one direction, you’ll both end up with a stiff neck. If the other person initiates tongue action, and if you want the same, then reciprocate it.

Kissing is a team effort which requires the participation of both parties. Head movements should ideally be limited only to side-to-side. If you or the other party leans forward, that would most probably mean that that person is starting to get aggressive. (That or the other person is really short.?) Just try to keep your cool and avoid this kind of situation. A calm yet passionate kiss beats an aggressive kisser any day. This way the kissing experience much sweeter, and definitely more memorable.

 

Again, these tips are just for normal or casual kissing. If you want to know more about the kind of kissing couples do in private time (a.k.a. torrid kissing), just stay tuned coz that’s another topic for another day. See yah! ?
