The Kiss

I absolutely love to kiss. There is no other act that is both so simple yet so intimate; the light playful nibble, the flick of the lip, the deep advance and retreat of the tongue. A good kiss is like a work of art; it’s a physical connection much like sex, but more erotic.

So why do we love to smooch?

Kissing may help us to choose a good mate, send chemical signals, and foster long-term relationships. All of this is important in evolution’s ultimate goal—successful procreation.

…..But kissing also just feels good. A good kiss is like electricity running through your body.

The Good...

I had met a guy who was really nice, but honestly he wasn’t who I was interested in (I know exactly who I am interested in, but had not worked up the liquid courage yet) but mister nice guy and I talked for a bit. I’m naturally a friendly person and will chat it up with just about anyone over a pint. Low and behold before I was able to build up my liquid courage and vocalize my interest to my boy, mister nice guy completely takes me by surprise and kisses me. When I say he “kissed me” I mean he kissed me…he had his one hand in my hair, nibbled on my bottom lip, teased with his tong, his other hand was on my lower back puling my body toward him. I have to admit, it had been a very very long time since I had been kissed like that. It was a very good kiss. (as good as it was it can’t hold a candle to the rush I get from just being with my boy)

The Bad...

We have all gone out with “that guy”. My ex was "that guy"! It’s the end of the night, you are saying goodbye and the next thing you know using a combination of wetness and suction, he has established airlock his tong is darting toward your throat as if he's attempting to check your gag reflex. There's no play, it's like he somehow relates kissing with having sex with your mouth. This is why “that guy” is then named “do not answer” in my phone.

The WTF...

Too many men don't realize that kissing is more then just a quick stop on the road to sex. I've been surprised at how many treat kissing like it is just a step towards something better. When I meet one of these men, I am faced with the decision, do I break it off, or do I attempt to instruct? But, if you are going to attempt to instruct an uneducated kisser how do you educate without bruising their ego?
