To learn how to kiss, follow the easy steps below ...

Step 1

Move your whole body closer. Lean in with your upper body, face and mouth towards your partner’s. Your focus and full attention should be on your partner’s mouth.

Tilt your head slightly to the side to avoid bumping noses. Watch to see the direction your partner is titling and adjust accordingly. You can choose (or not) to use your hands to touch or hold your partner – do what comes and feels natural. (see also: how to be a great kisser )




Step 3

Keep your lips relaxed and soft. Most people close their eyes when kissing - do what feels natural for you. Slowly, gently meet your partners lips. It is not important if your lips are slightly higher or lower than theirs. Enjoy the sensations and intimacy of the moment.

Step 4

Pull away slowly. Stay in the moment by enjoying the closeness, sharing a smile or even by hugging. It is always a good idea to say something positive like mmmmnnnn ..... nice, to let your partner know that you enjoyed the kiss.
