Part 1 of 3: Before the Kiss
-
1
Make sure your breath is minty fresh and clean.
Naturally you practice good oral hygiene, but if you have any doubts
about your breath, take a breath mint shortly before the kiss. Make sure
to finish the mint or gum before you lock lips.- Be careful, as some mints may leave a bad aftertaste and make your
breath worse. Water is the best bet! Leaves you no aftertaste, and
freshens your mouth and does not leave you thirsty.

Approach the kiss with confidence.
Try to kiss their cheek so they turn their head your way. Once you’ve
chosen the right moment to kiss someone, there’s no turning back,
especially if it’s your first time kissing
that particular person. Be decisive and confident. If the person
doesn’t want the kiss, he or she will let you know, but until then, act
as though you’re a pro. -
3
Set the mood. If you
truly want your kiss to be passionate, you will need to set the right
mood. That doesn’t mean that you have to throw rose petals everywhere
and light a hundred candles, but you should be some place without many
distractions–that way you can both focus on each other (and your
passionate kiss).
Part 2 of 3: The Kiss
-
1
Lean in and tilt your head slightly. Leaning
in signals that you want to kiss the person, and tilting your head
prevents you crushing your nose against the other person’s. -
2
Start slowly. Don’t try
to thrust your tongue into your partner’s mouth right away. Simply press
your lips against theirs. Close your eyes as you do to heighten the
intimacy and to avoid looking at the pores on your partner’s nose.
Imagine your eyes are being controlled by a dimmer switch. -
3
Let yourself linger between kisses.
Kiss your partner once, slowly, letting it last for a few seconds. Then
slowly draw your lips away, keeping them close enough to your partner’s
lips so that they are almost touching (but aren’t). This lingering will
help build the passion, and will really capture your partner’s full
attention (pfffft, as if you didn’t have it already). -
4
Open your lips slightly.
Once the kiss is accepted, try opening your lips slightly. If the other
person follows suit, try slightly varying the openness of your lips
(both more and less open) throughout the kiss. You may wish to explore
the person’s lips and tongue a bit with the tip of your tongue. There
are no rules; just try to make your motions smooth.- Keep in mind that there is a thin line between passionate kissing
and a drool fest. In order to gauge how wet your kisses should be, kiss
the back of your hand like you would if you were kissing your partner
and opening your lips slightly. You should leave a slight amount of
moisture that dries up in a few seconds. If you see more than this, or
leave a big wet circle on your hand, you’ve overdone it–dial it back.[1]

Consider the French Kiss. As the kiss progresses, you may want to try French kissing, in which you insert your tongue lightly into your partner’s mouth and let it dance with your partner’s tongue.

Be sensually aggressive.
After you’ve been kissing for awhile, you should try getting a little
more adventurous. In between kisses, gently bite your partner’s lower
lip, letting your teeth graze their lip as you pull away. (Do not suck
on their lip or bite too hard, unless they’re really into that). -
2
Try some necking. If things are going well, consider spicing it up a bit by moving your head down to kiss and lightly nibble your partner’s neck.

Keep your arms busy. You
seldom, maybe never, see a great kiss in which the participants just
let their arms dangle at their sides. At the very least, embrace your
partner and gently pull him or her towards you. You can also run your
hands through your partner’s hair; or caress his or her back, sides, or
other parts of the body. Wrapping your arms around your partner can also
be a big turn on!- Where you put your hands should be determined by the status of your
relationship, your desires, and your partner’s signals, whether spoken
or communicated non-verbally.

Try a ten-second kiss.
Some find that a kiss of at least ten seconds in duration will
passionately bond two people more than a shorter kiss. Just hold the
kiss for longer, regulating your breathing and keeping your eyes closed. -
5
Do not let yourself be distracted by anything.
Whether its fireworks going off behind you (hint: that would be a great
moment for a passionate kiss) or people walking by you at the airport
(bittersweet, beautiful goodbye or epic reunion?) you should not let
yourself become distracted. If you look around while kissing, your
partner is probably going to feel a little rejected and the
passion-o-meter will definitely drop. No matter what is happening, keep
your focus on the kiss and on your partner and let nothing distract you –
nothing should fascinate you more than the sensation of kissing.
