How To French Kiss
80
I'm not really sure how this kiss got its name, but let me assure you that Frenchmen are no better skilled at this than anyone else. In fact, I'd rate them about the same as I'd rate the rest of the world's men -- and that would be a bit on the lame side.
People! Kissing is an art! It requires practice and skill. You don't just shove your tongue down someone's throat and expect something earth-shattering to occur. And yes, lots, and lots of men think this is how it's done.
It ain't.
There are several methods for French Kissing -- this one is for those who are just learning, or for those who need to improve upon what they've already gotten in the habit of doing. In other words, this isn't the only way to kiss. I'd even go so far as to say there are better ways. But we'll keep it simple for now.
Tease, tease, tease.
Few things make a woman want to be kissed more than *not* being kissed. Bring your face close to hers, trace the line of her jaw with your fingers, or maybe even your lips -- but don't kiss her. Whisper something naughty in her hear, run your hands down the length of her body. Get as close as you can to kissing her without actually doing it. Trust me.
Easy Does It
When you're ready to lock lips, go into it slowly. Kiss her top lip lightly, kiss her bottom lip, kiss her cheek. Yes, you're still continuing the teasing phase here, but you're giving her a little some-some so she doesn't whack you for being an unbearable tease.
Lips first
Don't start out with tongue action. You want to get her hot and bothered with your lips before you do that. Reason being, shoving your tongue in there usually comes off as pushy and impatient -- and that's not something women want in the bedroom. Do yourself a favor and take your time.
Tongue Action
When you're ready for tongue action, you'll want to ease into that as well. (I hope you're noticing a pattern here -- most of you could do with writing it down.) Do NOT shove your tongue into her mouth and expect a miracle. For one thing, that's nasty and very, very unsexy. For another, there ain't a whole lot she can do in return. Your tongue shouldn't be all the way in her mouth, your tongues should be meeting halfway.
Keep Kissing!
Just because you've moved onto tongue action doesn't mean you stop using your lips. You don't suddenly open wide like some kind of Bass and anchor your tongue in her mouth. Your tongue should not be staying there the whole time! Withdraw it, kiss a bit more, tease a bit more, and then back to tongue action.
Tips:
Keep a hand in her hair -- this very, very sexy. You may even want to give it a gentle tug now and then.
Your tongue should be firm, but flexible. It should not look like you're sticking your tongue out at your mother, for God's sake.
Slobber is nasty. Try not to drool on your kissing partner.
Nibbling on lips is sexy as long as it's not too painful. Go ahead, try it.
Teeth knocking is a mood ruiner -- try to avoid this.

I think Isabella is teasing all of us.
Great hub, you made me laugh, you made me think and now I´m going to practice a little more with my better half ;)
Very tempting and it looks that only boys are replying to this hub...
Great tips, as always :)
Well it seems that boys have the most to learn, lol
Misha -- You know, lots of men think they are experts... yet they wonder why no one wants to kiss them!
Funride -- Practice makes perfect! ;)
Solarshingles -- I see some women!
Gale - Thanks!
Donna - They might!
There is always something to learn :) I just could not help imagining doing this to you ;)
Oh! I thought you meant was I kidding, because you're already an expert!
I don't think I'm too bad in this area - but hey, there are a lot of things I don't know yet, and your hubs are definitely a good place to pick new ideas :)
Good advice! I think men have become bad kissers...i.e., tongues way out right off the bat...from movies, soap operas, nighttime soaps, etc. that show people kissing in this way!!! My daughters used to ask me if having someone come at you with their tongue already hanging out was really what "young people" kissing was actually like! (As compared to the gentle smooches they witnessed between their "old" parents!) And the girls-on-film, on the receiving end of all these slobbery tongue-first attacks, are ACTING like this is the most erotic behavior of all time. Wish every one who ever wanted to be a good kisser, which of course leads to other good things, would read your tips!
Great tips Doc Isabella. :) Every lover should read this. Cheers.
I think I might disagree here about the skill of French men ;-) After all it is not just the wine and cheese that keep me mad about France...
Nice hub.
Always good advice. Looking forward to trying out these tips! ;-)
Ahhhh, Sweet Sexy Isabella!!
Earth Angel salutes you once again!!
Kissing is one of my favorite passions!!
Odd for a Nun or a Monk?? Quite Contrare!! Being fully human and fully spiritual is the ultimate goal of our time on Earth!!
Please take notice men, for Isabella is quite correct!! And in true Isabella-style - I know she will follow up with more intimate tips!!
FYI: Men with larger lips seem to know how to use them more than men with thinnner lips!! If you are a man with thinner lips, techique becomes even more important!! Imagine a woman having to make a choice between kissing a succulent, ripe, watery melon, or a cold, glass canning jar!!
Isabella is also correct about tongue action!! (I have never known her to be wrong!!) Be gentlemen!! Slow!! Indulgent!! Patient!! And, just like Isabella says, she will be begging for more, not showing you the door!!
Blessings always to those all around the world practicing right now because Isabella had the guts to put one of life's greatest pleasures into simple language!!
Jewels to Isabella!!
Earth Angel!!
great hub ! good tips ! now go out there and practice , folks !
Thank you for the tips, Isabella. After this hub, I shall take the middle path, as the Buddha says. Nibble don't bite, lick don't slobber, suck not vacuum.
Cheers!
Great post! I think your philosophy could be applied to sex as well.
An informative yet erotic hub as usual. Great article for everyone young and old. There is a reason that the professionals don't kiss...its the most intimate of our experiences as sexual beings. Thank you for the reminders!
Not to mention the women out there that think standing there with their mouth open is kissing.
Excellent hub, Isa. Let's give a class, you teach the men, I'll teach the women.
Love da hub Whitney!!
Im puckering up:P
:)
The first time my husband kissed me, I thought he had no idea what he was doing! Luckily, I gave him a second chance, and he had more skill than I thought the first time. Guess that's why he made it to "husband" category.
Hi
:(
I think I missed a lot in this life .:(
:(
Great hub - Forwarded to hubby now, I can't wait for him to get home to practice our new moves.
This is excellent! And it makes me want to find a good kisser (OK, my husband of 13 years today!! just walked in, so let's practice.) :-)
That's lovely! I found myself searching the house to see where my wife was... she's out! Typical...
hi, great tips.. I will try !!!
informative
Your hub flooded back memories of my youth and how in primary school my neighbours (older girls) told me to practice french kissing on an orange. You know cut a hole in it, stick your tongue in and pash away.... Many life times have passed since, and I now remember that first kiss and fondly remember those innocent year. Thanks for the memory flashback..
Thanks for creating this hub and shedding some light, perhaps now the world's men will be better kissers! LOL!
@joblot - your comment cracked me up. I guess there's always the orange (See Mici's comment).
Haha!! Thanks so much for putting that out there! Women need this kind of help! I can remember being pounced on and kissed by dead fish lips and such when I was out in the dating world...where were you then?!
Thanks, everyone! Hope you put them to good use!
You did kissing a good service here, Isabella!
Don't get me wrong but wow, are there that many guys out there that don't know this stuff? While this is great info and exciting to read, in the school of love I would put this at about the 2nd or 3rd grade level of love.
Guys...seriously, they are women!!! The most enchanting, beautiful, and desirable creatures ever, HOW LUCKY ARE WE THAT THEY ALL HAVENT switches teams, lord knows that if i were a girl, I would ABSOLUTELY switch teams. So step up ur game boys!
Well, after reading most everyones responses, it certainly seems that this message is preaching to the choir...hopefully that will just reinforce the truths of this hub and encourage the none posters to continue down the the path of most excellent love...
Great post and responses!
*non-posters the edit button vanished
There was this boy, when I was 15 that I thought was God's gift. I literally could not speak in front of him. He of course was a couple of years older and wanted nothing to do with me. But I never stopped dreaming that year of what it would be like to just kiss him.....once. So anyway life went on and when I was 19 we ran into each other, he still looked yummy, and somehow, Im guessing with some maturity I found words and was finally able to speak to him. He ended up asking me out on a date! I said yes, just becuase I had to know. The anticipation over 4 years was out there and I had to do something about it. Well the date - good not great. Here it comes, the end of the night......the kiss.......HORRIBLE. Oh did he ruin the dream. Im in my thirties and still wish he had never kissed me. He tried to ask me out again, and finally I had to tell him why I couldn't go. That was an awkward conversation. The point to his is that your article is FABULOUS - men and woman should read it and learn. And never, never ruin the dream.
