Where to Place Lips When Kissing?

Published in Kissing Techniques 2 mins read

The act of kissing involves the meeting of lips, but the how and where can vary! While the provided reference does not explicitly detail where to place your lips, it does offer crucial advice for approaching a kiss: maintain eye contact until your lips touch (11:44-15:16). This implies an awareness of your partner's face and where their lips are.

Given that the reference only offers information on when to close your eyes while kissing and doesn't detail where to put the lips, I'll supplement that with general kissing advice.

Here are a few common scenarios to consider, along with tips:

  • The Basic Kiss (Lip-to-Lip):

    • Positioning: Gently tilt your head to one side (most people naturally go right), preventing your noses from colliding.
    • Placement: Lightly press your lips against your partner's lips. Avoid mashing.
    • Pressure: Start soft and gauge your partner's reaction. You can increase the pressure as you both feel comfortable.
  • French Kiss:

    • Opening: Once your lips are connected, slightly open your mouth.
    • Tongue: Gently introduce your tongue, exploring your partner's mouth.
    • Rhythm: Match your partner's rhythm.
  • Kissing Someone Taller/Shorter:

    • Height Difference: The taller person can bend down slightly, or the shorter person can stand on their toes or find a slightly elevated position.
    • Angle: Adjust the angle of your head to make the lip contact comfortable for both.
  • General Tips:

    • Communication: Pay attention to your partner's body language and cues.
    • Breath: Make sure your breath is fresh.
    • Relaxation: Relax and enjoy the moment! Don't overthink it.
    • Moisture: Avoid having overly dry or overly wet lips.

Ultimately, the best "placement" depends on the type of kiss you're going for, your partner's preferences, and the moment itself. The key is to be present, communicative, and responsive.
