Where Can I Touch When Kissing My Girlfriend?

Published in Kissing Etiquette 2 mins read

When kissing your girlfriend, you can touch several safe and appropriate areas to enhance the intimacy.

Here are some good places to focus on, based on general guidance:


Acceptable Touch Points During a Kiss:

Area of Touch Description Why It Works
Side of Her Face Gently cupping her cheek or jawline. Feels soft and personal.
Back of Her Head Holding her head lightly, possibly moving your fingers into her hair. Creates a sense of connection.
Neck Lightly touching the back of her neck. Can be very sensitive and sensual.
Middle/Lower Back Placing your hands gently in the middle or lower part of her back. Adds support and intimacy.


What to Avoid:

  • Moving Hands Down Too Far: For a first kiss (or any kiss where you’re not looking to escalate quickly), avoid moving your hands too far down from the mid-back region. As the reference mentions, moving down too far might be considered too forward and potentially uncomfortable, especially in initial stages.
  • Being Too Forceful: Ensure all touch is gentle and respectful. Pay attention to your girlfriend’s body language for cues on what feels comfortable to her.


Tips for Touching While Kissing:

  • Start Slow: Begin with light touches, such as on the face or neck, and gradually incorporate other areas as both of you become more comfortable.
  • Be Observant: Notice her reactions. If she leans into you or seems receptive, it's a good sign. If she pulls away, it's time to scale back.
  • Communication is Key: Although a kiss may be a nonverbal form of communication, ensure that you both feel comfortable and safe.


These touch points aim to enhance intimacy and connection during a kiss without being overly assertive, focusing on gentle and respectful interactions. Remember that communication is important, so pay attention to your girlfriend's comfort level and body language.
