French Kissing Techniques

It took a while before I learned how to French kiss, if has to be one of the most awkward things to master. The reason I say that it's awkward is because if you mess it up you're through, there are so many things that can go wrong with it.

If you relax and try not to think about it too much you have less chance of getting it wrong. It's like anything, if you try too hard you usually fail. I didn't know whether to have my eyes open or closed, where to put my hands or whether I was just going to end up playing tonsil hockey and making them think that I was a complete idiot.

It is quite easy to over think these matters and always fear for the worst - which is what I know now, but when I was still discovering the art of kissing i analyzed everything that i did.

If you actually put too much pressure on yourself to get your French kissing techniques right, you can actually develop a phobia about it. You can actually make yourself quite ill with worry, a bit like taking an exam or driving test.

How To French Kiss Perfectly

1. Keep Your Breath Fresh

I don't think that there's anything worse than lining up for a French kiss and getting the full blast of someones bad breath, you just don't want to stay there for long.
Brush your teeth, use a mouthwash, floss and carry some mints just in case you have something to eat while you're out.

2. Look After Your Lips

You've spend all that time getting your teeth clean and your mouth fresh, it would be a shame to blow it because your lips are like sand paper.

There are many lip balms on the market today for him and her, use them regularly and you will notice a big difference, for both of you.

When Is The Time To Kiss?

AH! the question which has plagued people for many years.

Make eye contact - when you know that you've got their eyes fixed on you, look at their lips for a moment and then back to their eyes. Body language is a great way to get your intentions across.

4. The Length Of The kiss

Don't rush things, a soft lingering kiss will leave them wanting more, no one wants a let down at this point so don't start off passionate and pull away after a few seconds.

5. Enjoy The Moment

make sure that you enjoy the kiss or else what was the point in the first place.

6. There's No teeth In Kissing

This is a common mistake when French kissing, people tend to open their mouth too wide, you're not biting into a large pizza so keep your mouth under control and don't turn into a boa constrictor.

7. What about the hands?

Whilst you are performing a French kiss, your hands should act the same way that your mouth does, slow and gentle. Don't start fumbling and groping around - be tender and just caress them.

8. Eyes Open Or Closed?

Having your eyes open or closed is a matter of choice although most people tend to have their eyes closed. There is no hard and fast rule about this but don't stare at the other person as if you're in a staring contest, this will only freak them out.

9. Tongue Usage

At all times the tongue should be relaxed, and you should only use about the first inch. Do Not think that you have to get as much of your tongue in their mouth as possible - You won't be invited back for a second kiss.

10. After The Kiss

There may be a pause straight after the kiss, don't be in a rush to say anything as they may wish to repeat the process (if it was good). Pull them close or hold their hand after the kiss, this will reassure them that everything went well.
