Six types of kisses that scare your partner away

The saying "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach" isn't entirely accurate. The correct statement is, "To reach your lover's heart, go through his lips." No one wants to admit they're a bad kisser, but if you ask someone what their partner did wrong when kissing, you'll get all sorts of answers. Couples should definitely avoid the following terrible kissing techniques and habits, or you might scare each other away.

Bad breath . If your partner has bad breath, it's unpleasant to even talk, let alone kiss. Sometimes, people with bad breath may not even know they have this problem, making their first kiss potentially their last. Therefore, the best solution is to chew gum or rinse your mouth quickly with mouthwash before kissing to ensure fresh breath. If you have severe bad breath, you should consult a doctor to find the cause, such as gastrointestinal problems or gum disease, to address the issue and improve your kissing skills.

Too much tongue movement. This is a tricky problem that many first-time kissers have experienced. When kissing, should you let your tongue boldly "cross the border" into your partner's mouth, or should you let it stay obediently in your own mouth? Many people choose the French kiss, thinking that as long as the tongue "crosses the border," it's fine. But in reality, this kind of French kiss requires practice to control the movements, so it can't be too active, lest it cause discomfort or even aversion in your partner. In addition, in controlling the intensity of the kiss, you need to follow the principle of gradual progression. That is, when kissing for the first time, be gentle and slow, and gradually understand each other's preferences before deciding how to kiss, so as not to cause unnecessary negative feelings in your partner due to "rash actions."

Too stiff. Kissing isn't always a comfortable experience, especially when it's your first time kissing someone; sometimes your body can become stiff. The trick is to take a deep breath, pause briefly, and start with a small kiss. If you feel your partner is awkward or uncooperative while kissing, consider the reasons. Is it because they're too nervous, or is the environment unfavorable for relaxation? Try a gentle hug first, making eye contact, and warming up before proceeding.

Nowhere to put your hands. Where do you put your hands during a passionate kiss? Do you hold your partner's arm tightly, or gather their hair like in the movies? If you have this question, the safest and most loving way is to hold your loved one like you're holding a baby, gently but firmly, with your hands on their back or giving them a comfortable hug.

Teeth clashing. It can be incredibly awkward to be interrupted in the heat of a passionate kiss by the sound of your teeth clashing. The only way to avoid this is to take it slow and build up experience over time.

Kissing the wrong place. Some people have misjudged the spot when kissing and ended up kissing the nose. This usually happens when neither party is ready to kiss. Kissing the wrong place, especially a spot the other person doesn't like, can turn a good thing into a bad one. Kissing, as an expression of love, requires not only focus but also confidence. ▲
