Really, it’s all about being a total smooooothie, like this young roue, especially when it comes to timing.
“Well…”
As socially awkward as I always was, kissing seemed to come naturally to me. The few times it got as far as kissing the woman stuck with me for a while. Ms. P and I had our first kiss in the shadow of the 59th Street Bridge, next to the East River. It’s hard to beat that.
Absolutely love that movie.
Yes I think Dustin really is your man.
whoa!!! Just realised - I’ve used not one but TWO Dustin Hoffman movie quotes in the same (short!) thread. Totally unintended, and maybe one of the most freakish freakin coincidences in the entire planet.
And if the posts above weren’t clear enough, don’t misuse “penultimate” during your makeout sessions. :mad:
Remember the old showbiz advice: Leave 'em wanting more.
I guess I’m in the minority here. I *like *kissing a woman right after she’s smoked a cigarette. It’s more flavorful, like a burger cooked on the grill instead of just in a pan. (No, I don’t smoke myself.)
Best one for me, end of a date, he ever so slowly put his hand in my hair about where my ear is a drew me close…
<fans face> No shit.
For Pete’s sake, do NOT shove your tongue down the girl’s throat unless she’s somehow indicated that’s sexy to her. If it gets far enough for tongue, move on to a slightly open-mouthed kiss, then if that feels good to you both, use just the tip of your tongue, licking the seam of the other person’s mouth lightly, then move along from there. Minimize the amount of spit, tilt your head slightly (you both need to breathe) and take a “slow learner” approach.
Oh, and another thing…please don’t go right for the boobs. One hand on the lower back, the other hand maybe really lightly cupping the nape of the woman’s neck or even slightly higher on her back is a good start. Kissing is not a perfunctory gate to pass through prior to boobage. If it’s a first kiss, the kiss should be an event in and of itself. Back when I was dating, I was always surprised at how many guys went straight for my boobs like the grandma in Sixteen Candles. (How’s THAT visual for you?)
The more momentous, the better.
(For anyone familiar with that film, I thought it was a very well-done moment.)
Interesting.
This reminds me of a comment by “Big Fat Greek Wedding” actress Nia Vardalos in the DVD’s audio commentary.
She claimed that when a woman is reclining for a kiss, it’s really important to cradle her head securely and comfortably.
Ears are also pretty erogenous on a lot of people. That little spot below the ear where the hair meets the scalp is pretty sensitive in a happy way.
So much of good intimacy is exploration vs. means to an end. You can discover all sorts of fun things.
Once in a while a grown woman will date a grown man who still kisses like an overeager middle school kid - or a puppy - their kisses have a lot in common. Enthusiasm, pushiness, and a lot of slobber. The enthusiasm does not make up for the others - and you are not as cute as a puppy and lack puppy breath. (The less said about how a middle school boy smells, the better).
