The art of smooching!

Kissing is such wonderfully sensual way to connect with a lover. It creates connection, passion and arousal. So why are some people so bad at it?

I try not to be. It is something I feel like I have a lot of confidence in. How did I learn? Well, I watched a lot of soap operas when I was a young kid, I remember how passionately the couples kissed, so even though there is some theatrics behind my practice, I love doing it.

That's is not to say that I have tried with many men to help them kiss better; you know the types, the lizard tongue, the teethy man, the tight lips. It can be daunting and a big turn off.

So here is a list I compiled to become a better kiss master.

• Chemistry

• Eye Gazing

• Communication

• Body contact (closer the better)

• Be responsive to your partner’s cues

• Technique

• Practice

It also helps to remember that you are going to be in close proximity with someone else, so hygiene is important. Make sure the breath is fresh and minty.

I find that really going slow with each other really helps, there is an mindful art to darting the tongue in and out, using the lips and using touch to enhance the kiss. I really enjoy staring into the eyes of another man when I am kissing.

What do you think? Think you are a good kisser? Any horror stories to tell?
