Women want to kiss for the shear pleasure of kissing!!!

Ever wondered if there was a better way to be kissing? Try our tips and you will certainly see the difference.

The first thing to do when kissing is RELAX. Think about nothing at all but the kiss you're giving.

Start with lips either just slightly parted or closed. No tongue! Relax your lips, but don't let them mush up. Allow yourself to feel like you are completely confident in what you are doing. It makes the world of difference.

Kiss like there is nothing you would like to do than be right there with your love kissing them.

Use your hands. Use them in non-erotic zones, like the back, the shoulders, and the arms. Another great place is the back of the neck with light massage to the head.

Make it romantic. Kissing one of the most romantic things you can do. Try not to make it always sexual.

Pretend it's the first time you've ever kissed this person.

Try something different. A good place to start is "The Daily Smooch" . Each day you will discover a new way to kiss.

Always end a kiss with a small soft kiss.

How To Overcome First-Kiss Jitters

Arrange to have that first kiss in a fun or playful way. Just as a spur of the moment kiss. Or, under the mistletoe. Have the first kiss in a non-threatening way.
Get close enough to the other person so that your feelings take control. Get within kissing distance, one foot or less. Get so close you can feel their body heat.
Simply ask for the kiss.
Most men say they take their cue about kissing from the woman, usually from observing her behavior toward them. You can often tell if a man wants to kiss you by looking at his eyes; if he's staring at your mouth he's ready to kiss you. When you see him staring at your mouth, stop whatever you're doing and look dreamily at him, and usually he'll take the hint and kiss you.
Relax and enjoy. There's no correct way to kiss, so don't worry about doing anything wrong.

Just do it. It's trial and error.

Don't think about it, just do it.

How long has kissing been around?

Surprisingly, there is very little information on kissing to answer this question. Kissing may have its roots in early religious rituals. Some claim the existence of an early religious belief that the air we exhale had a magical power and contained one's soul. During the religious ceremonies, participants used a form of the mouth kiss to exchange breath. The kiss could also be a refinement of nose rubbing. But of all the theories on the origins of kissing, the one that gets the most votes from researchers is as follows: It may be a natural evolution from our birth instinct to suck our mothers breast for nourishment. Or, to put it in another way, it is simply a continuation of our desire to be breast-fed. So, what this theory says is that kissing is nothing more than satisfying a feeling of hunger. The truth of the matter is that any theory is merely speculation.

Credit for developing the kiss into a romantic gesture is given to the country of India. At approx. 1500 B.C. the Kamasutra was created. Kissing occurred in the Roman Empire at the nuptial kiss at the alter. It was said to symbolize the union of man and woman as they exchanged "the breath of life." During medieval times in Europe, you kissed on the ground or on the foot of religious figures. This is where the phrase "I kiss the ground you walk on" originates.

One French law declared that a woman was guilty of adultery if she kissed or allowed herself to be kissed by any man other than her husband. An Italian law said if a man kissed a girl in public, he could become obligated to marry her. Also, the kiss was used to seal legal contracts between men. Thos who could not sign their name would draw an "X" on the signature line and then kiss it. This would then make a binding contract.

The term "French Kiss" came into the English language in 1923. It was actually considered a slang term or slur on the French culture, which was thought to be overly concerned with sexual matters.
