If you decide to learn to French kiss with another person, you should be direct and let them know that you want to kiss them for practice, not necessarily because you have feelings for them. You can practice french kissing with your hand, a piece of fruit, or even your imagination. If you’re using your hand, curl it loosely to form the letter “O” which represents your partner’s lips and mouth. If you’re using fruit, bite into a ripe, firm fruit such as a peach or plum to create a small hole that resembles a person’s mouth.

Alternatively, bring your lips close to the piece of fruit or your hand. You should only be an inch (2. 5 cm) or so away.

If you’re practicing alone, fit your lips gently to your hand or to the piece of fruit.

When practicing by yourself, use light pressure to touch your hand or the piece of fruit with your tongue.

If you’re practicing with a piece of fruit of your hand, gently stroke the object with your tongue.

Less is more when it comes to tongue, so don’t be too aggressive! However, don’t keep your tongue completely still either, which could be awkward. When practicing alone, experiment with different ways to move your tongue against your hand or the piece of fruit until you find a pattern or method that feels natural.

If you won’t be able to brush your teeth between eating and kissing, avoid pungent foods like garlic and onion to limit the chances of having bad breath.

For especially dry lips, exfoliate them with a sugar scrub or even a clean toothbrush.

Remember that if at any point your partner seems uncomfortable, pushes you away, or asks you to stop, you should back off right away.

You may also want to whisper a few sweet words to your partner in between kisses to heighten the mood. You could say something like, “I love kissing you,” or, “You make my heart race. ”
