Unfortunately, not everyone is born a great kisser. It鈥檚 a skill some people have to develop and improve. So, if you鈥檙e one of those who want to become a better kisser, here are seven kissing techniques to level up your kissing game.
Good breath is holy
You don鈥檛 want to be kissing someone with a smelly breath. It leaves a wrong first impression, and they鈥檒l never want to try it again. You do want to make sure you have decent hygiene, brush your mouth twice a day and floss often. Also, little things like popping a mint in your mouth shortly before you go in for a kiss helps keep things fresh.
Be comfortable
If you鈥檙e uncomfortable with the person you鈥檙e kissing, you probably shouldn鈥檛 be kissing them. If you鈥檙e nervous, you should do something to calm yourself down. Remind yourself that this is someone you actually want to be kissing. You can also sing a little song or do what calms you on a regular day. If you鈥檙e too nervous or anxious, it can ruin the mood. Plus, you may weird your partner out.
Suck lips. Don鈥檛 swallow
When people say they want to swallow someone, it鈥檚 a joke, abeg. Please, the lips are not for swallowing. They鈥檙e for nibbling and sucking on. NOT SWALLOWING. If you want to swallow, try pounded yam.听

Move your arms around (with permission)
Nobody wants a stoic kisser. Hold their face, their hands, their waist, something. But before you hold them, let them know. Ask for their permission so you don鈥檛 freak them out. You don鈥檛 want a slap to be what breaks the kiss.
Try not to stare
Because you鈥檙e not a creep. The expected behaviour when kissing someone is to have your eyes closed. If, for some reason, your eyes are open, try not to make it weird. If you鈥檙e staring at them like that, they鈥檇 be able to tell because your eyes will be poking holes in their skin.
Don鈥檛 think about it too much
The problem is when you start analysing every aspect of the kiss. Relax into it and have fun.
Ask questions
Feedback improves service, so don鈥檛 be afraid to ask the people you kiss what you think can be done differently. Their feedback can help you in the long run.
