Summer is coming to a close and that means spending more time inside.
If you have a significant other, more time together could mean more time for kissing. Maybe?
Visit William Cane’s The Art of Kissing Blog, for some tips on how to pucker up.
Here are five French Kissing techniques he shares.
1. Flicker the tips of your tongues.
2. Rotate tongues in circular motions.
3. Play chase back & forth.
4. Suck your partner’s tongue.
5. Gently bite their tongue.
Are you moved to read on?
I thought so!
Do you remember your first kiss? I do. My heart was beating so fast I thought I might faint.
I like kissing, although I haven’t been fond of French Kissing. Back then, I could never understand what all the fuss was about.
I didn’t enjoy having that slimy thing invading my mouth. That appendage seemed to take on a life of its own. “Don’t guys know how to control these things?” I wondered as it poked around in my mouth.
I forgot I was kissing and focused just on that tongue thing. Not very romantic. But, after doing a bit of reading and research for this post there might be some hope for me and French Kissing.
I’ve come to the conclusion that kissing is subject to personal preference. A couple has to find out what each other likes.
Practice makes perfect. Lots of practice.
I prefer light and playful feathery kisses that tease and spark their way into a raging fire. Ok, I’m not going to go off on a slutty romance novel writing kick here, I promise. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
As for French Kissing, after reading William Kane’s suggested techniques, I’m certainly willing to parlez with that tongue again.
What about you? Do you care to kiss and tell?

Hi there! Please leave your comments. I can’t wait to see what you have to say. I am checking in for a quick visit while on my camping trip. If you are new here, expect delays in moderating and in my replies to your comments. Davina

Hi Davina – Hope you’re having a fab vacation. I can’t totally remember my first experience of kissing. I vaguely remember playing dares on a school trip and i think it happened there. I think i was more bothered about being able to say I’d done it, so I didn’t feel so left behind.

French kissing can be amazing or gross – depending on who you do it with.

I don’t really recall my first kiss.
I do recall my first kiss with my wife. My heart was pounding.
I do enjoy a good kiss (from her). And I’m ok with French kisses as well. In the right mood, my wife is too. There really are so many different types of kisses. A morning kiss goodbye is short and sweet – and says “I love you”. Others are more sensual. On the lips. Peck on the cheek. I’ll take them all. I feel love when I receive them…

When’s that “slutty romance novel” coming?
I’ve always liked the tongue-thing. Except for when I don’t (see Vered’s comment)
I hope you are enjoying the camping, Davina – watch out for the bears!

I remember first hearing about French kissing (at summer camp I believe) and I thought YUCK who would want to do that. Then I tried it . . . . . (smile).
Kissing is awesome!
My first kiss was on the playground in 1st grade — by Morty B., whom I was supposed to marry. (Shhh, don’t tell my husband whose name is not Morty!)

My first kiss that involved “tongue work” was when playing spin the bottle. It was a bit sloppy for me at the time, but I could see the potential.
I am a bit like Lance and like lots of different kisses. It depends on the mood for me.

Hi Davina – I have to admit I never gave as much thought about kissing until this post. I’d have to say that kissing is a mutual thing. The dance of the tongues is like the dance to music – it has to be in sync with the partner.

French kissing is really intimate, I find. So, if I’m not feeling it UGH way gross. French kissing with the Lion? Oh ya, baby. Mind you, he is French.

Thank you everyone for stopping by my blog and commenting while I’m on vacation. You are keeping the home fires burning!
I’m looking forward to getting caught up on all your fab writings when I return in a couple of weeks. I’m planning on making my next post this Friday or Saturday. Hope to see you back.
I’m having a wonderful vacation. The weather has been almost perfect and is expected to continue for another week. Yippee!
Cheers, Davina.

Yeah I remember. Okay, there’s an art to French Kissing, not everyone can do it, some don’t know when to insert or how deep to go in, you’re not poking around in there like you lost something, you’re communicating. It supposed to be a beautiful, synchronized dance and now I can’t concentrate anymore. Uh, thanks.

HOLY GUACAMOLE…
Davina, you must be having one heck of a holiday!
My kisses with Ginger do involve tongue, I’ll admit, but skip the flickering, rotating and such. Just a bunch of slobber does great!

Hi Cath. The idea of doing something on a dare somehow has more appeal than the idea of French kissing itself (at least in my case). Oh that peer pressure!
Hi Vered. I guess I haven’t had the right teacher… yet! Maybe I’ll have to do the teaching…
Hi Lance. Yes, those friendly pecks on the cheek can pack a punch, as long as they are not too sloppy
Hi Robin. Writing some slutty stuff might be fun! In public school my best friend and I used to try this. What a laugh we had!
Hi Linda. Your secret is safe with me; your husband doesn’t read my blog does he?
Hi Leanne. “Tongue work”; I like that term! Variety is the spice of life I guess, even with kisses.
Hi Al. I agree with you. It is a dance and the more in sync you and your partner are the better. When you are, let the fireworks begin!
Hi Urban Panther. Hmmm, French kissing a lion! Could be dangerous
Hi Natural. Oh, so sorry to distract you
I like what you said about kissing being an art and that it is communication.
Hi Harmony. Ha, ha. Dog kisses are not my most favourite even though I LOVE dogs and adore Ginger.

I’ve never really tried the whole “sucking the tongue” thing with my husband- but you have inspired me- maybe I’ll mix things up! I love your blog! I’m so happy I stumbled upon it (using tags again!) I’m going to go check out that blog, but another article I love on the subject of kissing techniques is that one!

Hi Capri.
Thanks for sharing that link with me, I’ll check that one out.
Thanks for your comment. I hope your husband enjoys the mix

You do have a way with words! This is a subject that intrigues many people. SOme people are talkers. Other people are more doers. And still other people consider themselves experiementers up for virtually anything!

Hi Liara.
Thanks! Sounds like we humans do a lot of “lip synching”

Loved the article. I certainly do remember my first French kiss–even the boy’s name. But, I do not kiss and tell. I will only say that it was absolutely out of this world–yes at 52, I can still remember it as though it was yesterday. There have been many great kissers in my past, and some not so great kissers.
In my opinion, kissing is THE most important thing in romance, and it is the MOST intimate part of it. A truly romantic kiss from the man or woman who is your love, seals the deal. At least for me. I love the slow easy kissing that starts with a peck here and there on the face, the gentle tug of the upper lip, and then …
What will turn me off faster than anything is bad breath, harsh biting (nipping is great), and sloppiness (too much saliva).

How To French Kiss A Girl
I agree with Lance (4th post) – I don’t recall my first kiss specifically, but I do recall the first kiss with my wife. Something very special, as you might imagine.
It’s intereting that one can recall kissers from the past either due to the fact that they were awful or really. I sure would like to think I am on the “good kisser” camp. What about you?

Hi there, and thanks for your comment.
I agree. Kissing is the most intimate part of romance. Slow and easy, yes!

Thanks for your comment.
It’s been so long for me, I don’t know what category I fall into. Need to find someone to practice with.
Seems the kiss isn’t the only part that makes us remember is it?
