Pucker Up

Do you remember the fireworks you (hopefully) felt the first time you kissed your partner? Remember the nerves and the excitement?

Do you remember how in the beginning each time you kissed the passion gained intensity? You could almost feel the fire burn between you, right?

Ok, so what happened?

At this point in your relationship you've likely rounded the proverbial bases more times than you can count. So why are you skipping first base? As relationships progress couples kiss with less passion, and often kiss less often. When is the last time you had a teenagesque make-out session? Oooh, its been that long, has it? Ok, let me help you remedy that situation. Read on...


Did you know that saliva contains the hormone testosterone which triggers libido? It totally does. And the more time you spend kissing the more likely you are to be primed for sex which will make for a more intense sexual experience. Sounds good, right? Just wait, it gets better...

Get creative with your kissing. You've got two sets of lips and two tongues involved. Use them all to your advantage. Start kissing him softly, gently, lightly suck on his upper lip. He will probably try to slip you the tongue, but don't let him.....yet. Keep him waiting, and keep him wanting it. Wait until he's all fired up, then let your tongues explore.

Sweeten the deal. Have him feed you some fresh, juicy strawberries. Eat one before your make out session. The strawberry will activate the sweetness receptors in the mouth, so when you kiss your sense of taste will go into overdrive!

Give him the chills. Slap on some minty lip balm before planting one on him. Menthol triggers the body's cold receptors, so when that is combined with your warm breath you'll feel a tingly sensation from your lips down to your naughty bits. Just a word of caution: menthol can irritate sensitive skin below the belt. If you're planning on giving each other some lip action down there you may want to skip the minty lip balm. Instead try a swig of champagne or seltzer. The fizzy will give you a similar sensation.

In the rough. Put your hand around the nape of his neck and pull him to you and lay one on him. Slowly get more aggressive with your kiss. Let the passion build. Rake your fingers down his neck. Gently pull at his bottom lip with your teeth. Tug at his hair. Get the fire burning with just a kiss.

So, the next time he comes in for a smooch surprise him and throw yourselves into a frenzied makeout session. It'll likely lead to fireworks for you later! So, what have you got to lose?

Happy smooching!
