Kiss and tell
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Last week CNN published an article about bad kissers and the intent behind kissing. And with all the mistletoe and new year’s eve kissing coming up, I thought we should all brush up (that is, as much as is possible via the Internet)!
For the full article, click here.
Here are three examples of kissing styles one of my editors sent me after reading this article:
THE SAY ‘AH’ — This technique is to open wide, say “Ah” and then 1, 2, 3, 4, I declare a tongue war. See “Top Gun” scene when Kelly McGillis and Tom Cruise attacked each other to Berlin’s “Take My Breath Away.”
Repetitive JIM — This is a lip-intensive kiss with very little tongue responsibility. You’ll still want the tongue to make an appearance, lest you feel like you’re kissing your stepmom or aunt, but basically it’s a quick repetition of fish-like mini-bites. Change up the cadence of the kissing for best results.
BITER — Biting can be a decent addition to any kisser’s repertoire, but moderation is key. Small bruise, fine. But if your partner’s lip puffs up like Angelina Jolie and she’s not Angelina Jolie, then you went overboard.
What other kissing styles have you experienced or can you come up with? (Let’s keep it PG-13, OK?) Don’t forget to give a clever name to the style you mention!
Have you ever broken up with someone because he or she was a bad kisser? (And please, describe in detail the problem!) Do you think bad kissers can be reformed, or are they destined for a life of horrible makeout sessions? Is anyone out there a reformed bad-kisser?
Do you think the article’s scientific statement that women are “subconsciously evaluat[ing] mating potential from the chemicals in their partner’s saliva and breath” might hold some water? Or is it just a buncha junk?

Good Morning
Slim now giving sour buttermilk breath kisses to all MLB members
I have never broken up with someone that wasn’t savy in the lip locking department because anyone I was ever in a relationship with were all decent kissers. However, I have lost the lust factor after kissing a guy that I was hanging out with. I’ll call him Shamu. When he went in for the kiss, you woulda thought I was kissing a killer whale the way he opened his mouth so wide!!! Ewwwww! I backed up like what are you doing? It was an instant mood killer. Needless to say I never attempted to swim at that beach again.
I’ve also kissed the Saliva Slob. You know the type of kisser that seems to have your whole facing glistening with their fluids and leave you smelling like a spit cup. Arrgghhhh!

The best kissers can express passion through their lips. Some folks have it, and some folks don’t, and some folks have a ceiling which they will never crash through.
More experienced kissers do know that pure tonsil-hockey is a child’s game and that a tongue, while must be present and accounted for, is just one tool in the arsenal of smoocher.
The two ships passing in the night kiss: When you feel the steam from your lover’s breath and drag your lips across oh so subtle yet purposeful. A close, yet distant kiss that is a great starter in a late night situation where the parties involved are gearing up for a passionate night.
I think the saliva theory, as it were, may hold a little water but is ultimately BUNK. We should get Mythbusters on that.

Hi, I’m AmazonRed and I love, love, love to kiss! I’m good at it too. I think I’m primarily a ‘repetitive JIM’ but I definitely incorporate some biting too!
I haven’t broken up with anyone JUST because they were a bad kisser. However, that has been a factor. In fact, my first french kiss was with this white guy and he was terrible. It was all hoover vacuum and wet. Ugh. May have turned me off white guys!

Good morn. I thought kissing was played out. I’ve had several relationships over the last few years and we kissed very little. The females that I was involved with seemed fine with the light pecks. It started off w/ one girl who was not big on kissing at all, at first I was taken back by it like “whats your problem?” We stayed together for 2yrs. Then I guess I got used to it cause I’ve recently told a female to slow down a bit on it.

Lady J, you bring up a good point about guys (and girls) that don’t kiss. I’ve had this debate often on another message board I used to frequent. The question was: which is more intimate? Kissing or sex? It really pained me to hear all the responses (mainly from the younger posters) that kissing was the most intimate you could get with a person. They could have sex, and not get attached, but kissing was the end all to be all…WTF?!

I am dude and I love to kiss. I don’t know where you are running into dudes who don’t kiss. There is nothing better than finding someone who’s kissing style matches yours. I think I’m a very good kisser and I think the most important element of good kissing is doing it with some intensity and passion. Nothing worse than someone who feels obligated to kiss you.

You forgot to mention “The Tornado” —
When the person goes a little overboard with the tongue… As in it’s moving upwards of 100mph & wreaking havoc on anything in its path.
That’s my personal pet peeve & I’ve run across it a couple of times. I kept trying to lead by example, so to speak, but these chics just didn’t take the hint.
And yes, that was pretty much all she wrote in both cases. Bad kissing really kills the mood.

Good morning everyone. I love to kiss, I love to kiss, I love to kiss. Kissing is very important in any relationship I’m in. I’m definitely in the biter category, but i prefer the word nibble. I also enjoy having a peppermint in my mouth and passing it back and forth. Yummy. But, those kisses that make the panties fall off are the best. Aww, the memories (LOL).

BTW, The Bert Show has been promoting the “kissing technique” whereby you take your partners face in your hands and tilt their head. You don’t actually kiss the lips, but you act like you’re about to. You sway her/his face from side to side ever so seductively for a few seconds building up anticipation. Then, a few lovingly pecks and BAM, you’re locking lips and lovingly kissing your partner.

But going back to a few x’s of mine the one I mentioned in early post then immediately after we broke up the next girl was not big on it either. The way I look at it is if you slip ea/ other the tongue on rare occasions it’s MUCH more memorable.

A Few Kissing Guidelines Feel free to add yours too
Please Please Please ensure your breath doesn’t smell like you just ate a shyt & onion sandwich.
Do a little lip maintenance, especially since we’re headed towards the cooler months. Nothing worse than kissing someone and a piece of skin from their chapped lips gets into your mouth. Ewwww
Even if you aren’t a Eyes-closed kisser, don’t be there with your eyes looking like you just popped 3 ecstacy pills, did 4 lines of coke, & had 5 shots pure caffeine. At least have them slightly open. No one wants to peek through feeling like they just kissed a zombie.
When using tongue, remember this is not a fencing competition. No need to use your tongue as a dagger to stab & jab your opponents, oops i meant partners tonsils. Use a little more senuality and finesse.

A great kiss is when you’re about to part lips and tongue, you take a nibble at the bottom lip then roll your tongue over the top lip then the bottom lip and go back to deep lip lock. Whew!

Dude has to has healthy gums before I would even think about kissing him. One dude I know his gums are soooooo bad, it’s just sad. The gums are detached from the teeth and they are swollen and puffy and red. Because of this, the breath is absolutely atrocious (sp?)! The breath is so bad it smells like he has been eating shyt sammiches for breakfast! making gagging face

ARed I have to agree in part with the folks from your other blog spot.
If you can deliver a soul stirring kiss, then you can reach depths in JustMe that even the most enormous “O” can not match. There is something (IMHO) about a French Kiss, lips locked, tounges entertwined, lips being sucked, nibbled and licked that is so much more intimate than intercourse.

I agree that the topic is a little middle school, but I just had a GREAT kiss this weekend, so I’ll bite and make my response not so PG-13. sorry Bella
I haven’t run into guys that don’t like to kiss. Maybe it’s the just-right fullness of my lips. :-) I love the body kisses, with just a little bite, especially on my side. Drives me up the wall. E1 liked to leave marks everywhere, and that’s not cute at 30. I told him I bruise easily and I think he had to test that out. He was also the type that if you so much as brush his neck with your lips, it’s on and poppin. It turned saying good night at the door into a Virtual Slamfest. He was an LDM, so I guess he had to be skilled in the kissing department.
I like kissing while performing horizontal gymnastics. That kind of kissing can get a little violent though. I’ve ended up with busted, bleeding lips and he’s ended up with severe bite marks on his shoulder if things were getting a little too good.
My current flame kisses my whole face, my eyelashes, cheekbones, the base of my chin, and even the little spot on my forehead where my skull is indented from an Aruban pool flip gone wrong. Long story.
Just a PSA… That tongue in the ear thing does NOT work for most women unless you are REALLY in the moment. There are some men who can do that right and it’s great, but yeah, please swallow first. I don’t want to leave our tryst with Swimmer’s Ear. That is a complete turn-off.

Morning! I love kissing so it’s pretty important to me how well it’s done. I’ve had some pretty bad kissers in my past. There was the one that drank too much beer and smoked too many wacky cigs so smell and taste was a serious mood killer, there was the one that seemed to have my head in death grip vise and so I couldn’t move or turn, and of course there were some slobbers. I like my kisses to be soft, with gentle pressure, dry, and a little facial caressing.

Morning,
As I read some of the comments I have to be honest. I enjoy kissing. I’m good at it. And here’s why:
Kissing, at it’s core is an interplay of not only saliva and tongues, but also the movement of two disparate bodies. A kiss can be simply put, the most erotic experience next to sex.
I think I’m good becuase I don’t really have a “technique” so much as I dance with my partner during the exchange. Her subtle requests for more pressure by prusing her lips, or more intimacy through the exploration of her tongue, all play a part in kissing for me.
To that degree it can be more intimate than sex, becuase of the subtleness, intensity, and sensitivity involved in a good kiss.
It’s my favorite subject.

OOooh Bella I think that you struck a nerve (in a good way)!
Let’s just say I’d call this man Sensual Sam. I’ve never been much of a kisser. A few love pecks and I’m good. Kinda had a phobia about personal hygiene. This Sensual Sam that I met about 7 years ago, really changed my mind about kissing.
Let’s just say lip-locking that makes your, spine tingle, gives you goose bumps, and make ya knees shake. This brother was like some Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup…..can I say ummm…ummm…good!
@Slim… I agree with your 9:43 post. lol

2Cp - Im callin you angry for attacking blog style man you just came out goin nutz. In terms of the law its about time. However they just sentenced a man to 15yrs when they could have gave him 22yrs BIG F’n Deal. They’ve been lockin up 17yrs old kids from around my way since Nancy Regan so what about them? Send a little brat to Attica w/ grown killers for the next 22yrs you think he commin back? I have Cocaine Cowboys and I recommend that DVD to everyone in here and everyone they know. Cause it shows the reality of the drug problem. Redneck pale men bringin it in BY THE TON into Miami. They get caught w/ 400+ kilos and do 7yrs!!! in mid 1980’s WTF! Naturally since it has an overwhelming presence and can be found in abundance people start frying it up. Typical Rep. Gov’t says well since its here in abundance lets hand out 22yrs to anyone selling it cooked up in small quantities and oh yeah we’ll take 17 n up. Never mind the fact that they did not, could not or didn’t want to stop it from gettin here!!!

A lot of women complain that men aren’t into kissing or just plain not good kissers. My POV…….If a woman is a good kisser, I will initiate the kissing and want more of it. If she’s not a good kisser, I will not initiate it as much, and kissing will be limited.

Good Morning All,
No comment on the kissing thing. But I do wish to comment on the lack of male perspectives in blog topics. I think it would provide a great “balance” if there was a blog moderator-who was a male- dating in Atlanta. I am aware that Wisey and Bella try to convey conversations they have had with men on the subject of dating but it is 2nd hand and colored with the female opinion so it doesnt always come over well. I know they had a male contributor at one time for awhile there but he lacked-what is the word?-manly like qualities in his subject choices. Anywhoo that is my 2.00 opinion.

Why should we all be fighting about kissing. @SeanJ, i agree with u, kising these days is more reserved for the real intimate, head has taken over. And becoz of that, guys would ratehr kiss the one they think is the one coz hygiene comes into play. Our society is now geared towards instant gratification thats why kissing is not as popular in my view.

Since I wasn’t around back then, I can’t speak to this person’s lack of “manly” subject choices. However, I will butt in and say that there is more to the term “manly” than a guy’s testosterone level or how many women he knows whose first names end with ‘qua’.

My People…..LAWD! Associated Press Writer
TOLEDO, Ohio — A pregnant attorney who vanished for four days last week now says her tale of being kidnapped at gunpoint and taken to Georgia was fabricated, police said Tuesday. Her husband said she had “a meltdown.”
Karyn McConnell Hancock, a former Toledo city councilwoman, had disappeared Wednesday and was found Saturday near Atlanta. Her husband said Monday that his 35-year-old wife, six months pregnant with her second child, claimed she was kidnapped by two men and a woman.
Police would not discuss a motive, but Hancock’s husband Lawrence Hancock said his wife has been having psychological problems for several years.
“She experienced a meltdown and attempted to handle those matters without the assistance of professional help or others. Karyn elected to leave everything because she felt that she was unable to continue,” he said.
Police said at a news conference Tuesday that she recanted Monday after eight hours of questioning. Hancock will likely be charged with making a false police report, said Police Chief Mike Navarre.
Hancock’s father, C. Allen McConnell, is a Toledo Municipal Court judge, and her husband is bishop of Final Harvest Church in Toledo. The husband had said earlier that he believed the purported kidnapping had something to do with a case McConnell handled before he was a judge.
He had said his wife called him from a restaurant pay phone Thursday afternoon, saying “they have me.” She said she thought she was going to die and “told me don’t let her son forget her and that she loved me,” he said.
Hancock was found after she flagged down a motorist near at Six Flags in Austell, Ga., and the motorist called police, authorities had said. Her car was found nearby.
One of the attorney’s former clients recently filed a lawsuit against her, accusing her of taking money from him that he was owed from an accident settlement.
Lawrence Hancock said he wasn’t sure if the lawsuit triggered her actions.
