Master the Kiss, Master of Love
Cosmo ran a fab article about that not-so-nice act of kissing. Here are a few ways to rock his world by taking it back to basics (yes, that was a Christina Aguilera shout out! Even she went back from dirrrty…). Shelly Hess, author of the book “Power Pucker: Great Kissers Make Great Lovers” had these tips and techniques on kissing to offer:
The Hot Hello
The quick “Hi, honey” peck is no way to rebond with your babe, whether you’ve been missing him since your morning bagel or last Saturday night. Set the tone for your time together with a kiss that makes him think, Oh you are happy to see me. “Greet your guy with enthusiasm and he’ll immediately feel loved and appreciated,” explains Linda Olson, PhD, host of the syndicated radio show America’s Love Doctor. “A high-energy hello smooch is the ultimate way to communicate that excitement and foreshadow the fun to come.” Plus, when he kisses you back with the same degree of desire, you’ll feel that love rush too.
The hot hello actually starts long before your lips meet. Let’s set the scene: You see your guy. Maybe he’s working his way across the bar, maybe he’s standing on your doorstep. You lock eyes, flash him a smile, and slowly begin your approach, maintaining eye contact the whole way. When he’s in close range, utter a husky “Hey there, gorgeous” and press your body up against his. This is key for creating intimacy: You don’t want to strike the disastrous A-frame pose (think lips together, hips miles apart), according to William Cane, kissing coach and author of The Art of Kissing.
Okay, bodies meshed? Roger that. Now it’s time to pucker up, baby. Wrap your hand around the nape of his neck and pull his face gently toward you. When your mouths finally meet, maintain a strong but closed-lip seal for up to 10 sultry seconds.
Tip: Keep your tongue reined in; this kiss should shoot straight from the lip. Hey, there’ll be plenty of time for tongue twisting at the end of the night — keep him in anticipation of what’s to come as you pull away. Read the rest.
