The First Kiss - A Simple Guide

Kissing is one of the most intimate and sensuous experiences you can enjoy with another person. Unfortunately, a number of us feel anxious and unsure about how to kiss - especially if it is our first kiss.

Whether you are about to experience your first kiss ever or you want to improve your technique before your first kiss with your new partner, there are things you can do to be better prepared.

Avoid embarrassment - be kissable

It is imperative that you maintain good oral hygiene - both in general social situations, and when you are about to have your first kiss. Nobody likes bad breath. Avoid foods that may cause stinky breath like garlic or onion and carry some gum or mints to freshen your breath. Brushing your teeth and flossing regularly will help avoid "bad breath situations" in general and help improve your oral health.

Additionally, if your lips are dry or chaffed, try to use lip balm to moisten them up and make the experience more enjoyable for both you and your partner.

Be gentle

You should not go rushing in for a kiss, especially your first kiss. While more experienced couples embrace in passionate, all encompassing kisses - a first kiss requires finesse. Be gentle and watch for signals from your partner.

Rushing into a first kiss may result in bumping teeth which can be quite uncomfortable - chances of bumping your teeth will reduce as your lip coordination improves with experience.

Pay attention to signals

Try to look for signals from the other person that they are ready and willing to kiss you. Do they frequently touch you on the arm while talking to you? Are there lingering moments where you both look into each others eyes? Does he/she lick her lips on occasions while talking to you? Have you discussed kissing with them?

Approach for the kiss

Make a slow approach for the kiss while looking into the other person's eyes. Tilt your head slightly to avoid bumping noses. If appropriate you may use your hands to caress or guide your partner towards a kiss - gently - you don't want to force them into doing anything.

Look into your partner's eyes as your lips are about to touch and close your eyes when you lips make contact to heighten the intimate emotion you are about to experience.

Take your time

There are many different types of kisses - from gentle pecking to sensuous french kisses. A first kiss should be special, romantic and gentle. As your lips meet, touch your partner's lips with yours. Do not part them or try to slip them the tongue - simply pucker and kiss them lightly then part your lips and look into their eyes while smiling. Do not move your head away from theirs. If your partner does not move away you can lean in again and kiss them again, this time for longer.

Let your embrace and kiss guide you both - if your partner's lips part, let yours part too. Enjoy the moment and do not push the issue - a good kisser enjoys the kiss without pushing for more.
