So you want to know how to be a good kisser? Kissing is something that many of us do regularly. But everyone can probably benefit from a few good kissing tips to improve our technique. So how do you prep yourself for some good kissing action? The sense of smell is a sensual part of the whole art of kissing and you want to make sure your overall scent takes his breath away and makes him want to kiss you more. A light lotion on your skin is a good idea, which will produce a pleasant scent and also make your skin soft and smooth. Make sure you also put on some deodorant and a hint not too much of a complementary body spray or perfume.
THERE’S A REASON YOU ALWAYS LEAN TO THE RIGHT DURING A KISS
A good kiss feels amazing in all of its forms: short kisses, long kisses, passionate kisses, soft kisses, sexy kisses, birthday kisses, good morning kisses—the possibilities are pleasantly endless. But a bad kiss can make you want to sew your lips shut. Think sloppy kisses, wet kisses, bad-breath kisses, drunk kisses. Kissing says a lot about who you are, your body, and your relationship with another person. Which direction does your head turn when you go in for a kiss? Chances are, you tilt to the right, a study published in Scientific Reports suggests. A team of researchers from Bangladesh and the U. The researchers found up to 74 percent of people turn their heads to the right when they smooched. After surveying men and women aged 17 to 35 about their thoughts on seeing and engaging in PDA, University of Kansas researchers found that one third of the study participants made out with someone in public because they wanted other people to see it.
The meeting of lips may feel harmonious, but it isn't. Men are always pushing to make kisses sloppier, while women always want to keep at them long after the show's over. And kissing style isn't the only point of contrast: In light of recent findings by psychologists, a kiss shared between a man and a woman seems more like a clash of spirits than a meeting of souls. Those statements may strike some as obvious and others as old-fashioned, but regardless, they're scientifically proven. Hughes and her colleagues published a study in the journal Evolutionary Psychology three years ago that helped test, and prove, several theories evolutionary psychologists have long held about kissing. The researchers probed the kissing preferences and opinions of more than 1, males and females in their sexual prime — college undergraduates — who were asked to mark their answers to a series of detailed kissing questions on a 5-point scale. The results showed that both men and women consider kissing an important and highly intimate interaction. Both sexes use kissing to gauge the relationship compatibility of themselves and their partners. Furthermore, both may become more or less attracted to their partners based solely on their experience kissing them, a result that lends support to the theory that pheromones and other important biochemical signals get exchanged when people kiss.
