How to Kiss: What to Do with Lips?
Kissing involves a gentle and soft approach. Avoid a wide-open or tightly puckered mouth. Instead, keep your lips slightly parted, relaxed, and ready to respond to your partner's movements. The goal is a soft and deep kiss, allowing the experience to unfold naturally.
Several factors contribute to a pleasant kiss:
-
Lip Position: Maintain a soft, relaxed lip position. Avoid a rigid, puckered expression or a wide-open mouth. A slightly parted mouth allows for a more natural and comfortable experience. (Reference: "Both a cranked-open jaw and a closed-mouth, hard pucker aren't the most pleasant to smooch. Keep your lips just-apart enough, allowing the kisses to be soft and deep, and keep your mouth relaxed.")
-
Initiation: A gentle and slow approach is ideal. Start with a light touch of lips, gradually deepening the kiss based on your partner's response. (Reference: "Press your lips against her lips lightly, and don't be worried about accuracy - a brush against the corner of the mouth, the upper lip or the...")
-
Head Tilt: Subtly tilting your head to one side (usually to the right) can improve the angle and make for a more comfortable kiss. (Reference: "Tilt your head. Typically you'd tilt your head to the right, but in some circumstances to the left.")
-
Relaxation: Tension can hinder a good kiss. Relax your lips and jaw, allowing for a more natural and fluid connection. (Reference: "Relax you lips, And touch you lips together, and then 'kissing' or puckering your licks slightly as you pull away haha. But seriously, it's kind...")
-
Responsiveness: Pay attention to your partner's cues and adjust your approach accordingly. A good kiss is a two-way street, built upon mutual responsiveness and comfort. (Reference: "You want to see where the kiss takes you.")
-
Consent: Always ensure both parties are comfortable and have consented to the kiss. A kiss should be enjoyable for everyone involved. (Reference: "Make sure the kiss has your, and the other party's, consent.")
Beyond the Basics
While the basics focus on gentle lip contact, further exploration might include incorporating more tongue (French kissing) or varying the pressure and rhythm of the kiss. However, always prioritize comfort and responsiveness. Experimentation should be mutual and enjoyable for both partners.
