For as long as we know, lovers seal their union with a kiss. Kissing floods our bodies with an endorphin and dopamine rush and quite literally leave us feeling a little high. It lowers cortisol “stress” hormones and increases the pleasant oxytocin levels. Not to mention that it creates a closer intimate feeling between the people exchanging the kiss, which is a the most priceless high of all.
So, let’s talk about the art of the Passionate kiss. Here are some ideas to try next time you get ready to pucker up:
1. Always begin with a fresh clean mouth to offer a pleasant taste to your partner.
2. Look your partner deeply in the eyes and maybe touch their hair or face gently before you lean in to kiss to make sure you have their full attention.
3. Closing your eyes is optional. Most people will close their eyes when they kiss to better experience the sensations, but try it with your eyes open too so you can fully experience your partner.
4. Begin with a soft gentle kiss using just your lips.
5. Kiss their face, their eyes, their nose, their ears, before returning to their lips.
6. Trace the outline of their lips with your tongue.
7. Run your tongue around their teeth and circle their tongue with yours.
8. Pull their bottom lip or tongue into your mouth and suck gently.
9. Kiss them wetly and deeply and explore their mouth with your tongue.
10. End with another gentle kiss, or keep going while waves of passion begin to wash over you.
Experiment with different styles and ways of kissing and ask your partner to let you know what they enjoy the most and continue to indulge them in some of the sweetest kisses ever! You can also kiss and trade a piece of ice, frozen grape or some other tasty treat between the two of you for some added fun to your kissing adventures.
