How to Become a Better Kisser – Your Guide to Kissing – Salty Vixen

Kissing your spouse passionately and often is good for your marriage and even your health. Kissing produces extra saliva, which clears bacteria from your teeth, helps you cut calories, and is a proven stress reliever.

But kissing the same person over and over again throughout your life is to be expected. Whether you’re newlyweds or have been married for what seems like forever, here are some tips for bringing the spark back into your kiss:

Freshens breath.

Just because you’re getting married doesn’t mean hygiene should be forgotten. While your spouse must adjust to the real you, he or she doesn’t have to suffer. Brush your teeth before frowning, don’t eat onions, garlic or other irritating foods, and do a breath check to make sure you won’t offend your spouse.

Think beyond lips

Indeed, your lips are packed with nerve endings, which is why kissing is so electric. But you don’t have to limit yourself to your lips. The most beautiful kisses start with a nibble on the ear or a caress on the neck.

Sometimes, a bite is okay.

Those who nibble their spouse’s lower lip are often rewarded. It’s also good to gently suck on your upper or lower lip for a few seconds.

Draw a circle around your lips.

Lick your partner’s upper and lower lips in one continuous motion.

Use your hands wisely.

When kissing, brush your partner’s cheek, hug him or her tightly, or let your hands lightly brush his or her back. Let your body be your guide.

Educate your tongue.

Roll your tongue around your partner’s tongue. Use the bottom of your tongue to flick the top of his or her tongue. But never stick your tongue too far into your partner’s mouth. This is completely unpleasant for both parties and usually just results in one person suffocating.

Come up for air.

If you’ve been kissing for a while, take a break. This keeps you from passing out and also gives you a chance to swallow your saliva so your kiss doesn’t get too wet, which can be really gross.

Clean your mouth.

Chew whatever you are eating and remove the gum before kissing. This is the polite thing to do.

Be dramatic

Dip or lift your partner in for a passionate kiss.

Find inspiration.

Choose a beautiful setting—a beach at sunset, a lush garden, a stunning clifftop—and give your loved one a big kiss.

Surprise your spouse.

Instead of kissing him or her the usual way in the morning before going to work or at night before going to bed, grab him or her gently when he or she least expects it. Bite his or her neck from behind while he or she is setting the table. Climb on top of him or her and kiss him or her while you relax on the couch.

Choose the right kiss at the right time.

Timing isn’t everything. You also need to take the right actions. A soft, sweet kiss is the perfect ending to a church wedding. When sex is on the agenda, a deep kiss with more tongues can set the mood.

Make your kissing a hair-raising experience.
