[QUOTE=Telperien] Yeah. Does anyone actually like that, or am I going to have to nickname him “Wet Willy”? [/QUOTE] Made my ex go wild. I didn’t enjoy it as much when he did it to me, but it didn’t gross me out or anything. ---

[QUOTE=Uncommon Sense] Tell him he’s supposed to _swallow_ the Viagra before it dissolves. [/QUOTE] Actually, letting it dissolve under the tongue gets it into the bloodstream faster. Er … from what I’ve read on the Internet. Seriously: Give him a closed-mouth kiss. Completely relax the muscles in your lips and cheeks, but keep your teeth clamped together. He’ll either get the message or ask you what’s wrong. Tell him a kiss is all about the lips, it’s the promise he makes before you open yourself to him. He doesn’t get to penetrate until he can prove that he cares, and he proves that with his lips. If he can’t do that, you need to learn to like him a lot less. ---

Tell him about it. Worst case scenario, he has no interest in what turns you on and gets upset about having a flaw pointed out. And then at least you’ve got better reasons for dumping him. ---

Thanks for being so kind with the spelling issues lol. From now on, instead of spelling out tongue, I will just put a 😛 . Seriously though, I have always spelled tongue incorrectly and it is just imbedded in my mind that way. I am the same way about received (recieved?) and no matter how much I want to spell it correctly I can’t remember which way is correct. I consider it spelling amnesia. I can barely do it when it is being pointed out to me, I keep having to scroll down to check to make sure I’m spelling it right. And if I teach him how to kiss properly I had better get way more than a spelling lesson. 😃 ---

I am convinced that spelling is a talent. Some people have it, some people don’t. I can spell, but I can’t sing, dance, or walk four steps without stumbling. ---

[QUOTE=Telperien] or walk four steps without stumbling. [/QUOTE] There’s your problem…no one can walk four steps without stumbling. They all walk **five** steps. ---

[QUOTE=Cervaise] I’m imagining this guy posting on another board: TongueMaster: “Yeah, I met this great girl, we really hit it off, but she just doesn’t know how to kiss at all. I mean, I stick my tongue in her mouth, and I wait, and it’s like she has no idea she’s supposed to start chewing on it. I’m starting to think she doesn’t really like me.” ToothMark327: “Have you tried talking to her? Maybe she doesn’t know what she’s doing wrong.” TheLickNibbler: “Man, a woman who doesn’t know how to chew on your tongue, she probably won’t be any good when it comes to sinking her teeth into your nutsack, either.” ChewTalkaOK: “I dated this one girl once who had never chewed a tongue before. After a few days of sticking my tongue in her mouth, I had to grab her jaw while we were kissing and show her how it was done. It was great while we were together. Man, I do miss her tongue-chewin’. My current girlfriend has dentures. Just not the same.” And thus goes the day on [TongueBiters.blogspot.com](http://TongueBiters.blogspot.com)… 😉 [/QUOTE] Thank you for this. You’ve made my evening. ---

With some gentle coaxing he has gotten much better at the kissing, but other issues have come up and I am not continuing with the relationship. It is good to know that kissing can be learned though! ---

[QUOTE=pbbth] It is good to know that kissing can be learned though! [/QUOTE] I sure hope so! I have no experience kissing, so I’d hope my potential SO would be willing to give me some pointers before writing me off. 😛 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/help-with-kissing/409885.md?page=2)
