The lost art of kissing
By William D. Hicks
Kissing plays an obvious and important role in romance. It’s often the first
time many people know they’re in love — quickened pulse, butterflies, maybe
even fireworks. But kissing seems to be a lost art form these days.
Ready to reclaim it? Anyone who masters these eight techniques to becoming a
kissing master deserves a second date:
Towel off
Kisses are not meant to be wet. Sure, lips are intrinsically moist, but no one
wants to kiss fish lips.
Moisturize
Lips that are dry or chapped feel like kissing sandpaper. Find a favorite lip
balm and get into the habit of using it often.
Freshen up
If garlic and onions have to accompany every meal, make sure you carry breath
spray or mints with you at all times. Excuse yourself before you start to pitch
woo and give your breath a boost!
Shut up
First dates are not the place to practice your French kissing skills. While
some people love to French kiss, others do not. It's way too intimate, and
first dates should leave 'em wanting more.
Tantalize
Small, strategic kisses on the ears, lips and neck can be as effective — or
more effective — than a long, lingering kiss that lasts a lifetime.
Be creative
Kissing is more than locked-lips; it can entail nibbling, licking and caressing
someone's lips. You can also use your hands on their back, face, lips or hips
to add an extra level of sensation to any kiss.
Focus
Concentrate on the kiss. Close your eyes and enjoy the sensation of lips on
yours. Let your mind go; be in the moment.
Stop
No means no. If a date shies away from kissing on the first date, don't press
the issue. Leave something to look forward to on the next date. Mastering the
eight techniques of a kissing master takes practice.

Shibumi? In the martial arts, it means effortless perfection. In art and home
decorating, it means in harmony with nature. Subdued natural colors, soft music
tones, and the sounds of falling water.
