Common Kissing Mistakes People Make

We've all had a few kisses in our day (some more than others), and after a  few years of this tonsil hockey, it almost comes as second nature to us. We kiss our boyfriends, girlfriends, f*ck buddies, best friends, strangers in a nightclub... so it's been a while since we properly evaluated what it's actually like for someone to kiss you. Here are a few common mistakes that people have found around the world while in the act of kissing

Funky Breath

Cigarettes, whiskey, curry chips... A strange taste can instantly put someone off, and if it's your first kiss, they will probably forever associate you with that smell.

"Guess who I bumped into last night?"

"Burrito breath? Yeah, I saw him too."

Stare Master

Kissing with your eyes open is just wrong and should never, ever happen. Close your eyes, it should be natural reaction when you tilt you head (right by the way, always tilt right).

Washing Machine

Oh God the humanity! WHERE did all that saliva come from? Seriously?! I couldn't see it when you were speaking but now it feels like you're trying to drown my poor tongue! For the love of God, swallow.

Teeth Banger

Okay, this is awkward and it might not necessarily be your fault. Just concentrate on using your lips and keep those fangs inside.

Pash Rasher

Difficult enough for guys these days, the girls love stubble - it attracts us like moths to a flame, but when we finally get that longed for kiss it feels like sand paper wearing away your face. Ouch.

Tongue Monster

Woh woh WOH! Your tongue is the only muscle in your body that isn't attached at both ends... That does NOT mean that you need to fight my tongue with yours as a means of buffing that muscle up. Gym - good, my mouth - bad.

Lips Only

Some of the best kisses include neck, ears, shoulders... and the rest. Spread the love to make for an epic kissing session.

Dead Fish

We all remember the tennis/rugby club disco. You find someone to 'shift' and then the two of you lock lips...and that's it. Your bodies don't connect apart from her arms around his neck. A good kiss involves your whole body, not just your mouth. Allow your body to respond to the kiss and let it melt into theirs.

Hands Free

Okay, we're back to the school disco. Use your hands to pull them closer and don't just have them hanging there like idle swings. Hands on the neck, the face, the waist - doesn't actually matter as long at their busy doing something!
