It doesn't matter if you consider yourself an expert kisser or if you're new to the game. Either way, you still have more to learn. To help you out, here are a few kissing rules you should always abide by: ## 1. Get Consent ![Get Consent](https://img.allw.mn/content/u7/fu/dcm8pixo5632299838227897497226_500x281.gif) Sex isn't the only activity you need consent for. You shouldn't kiss a boy unless he's willing to kiss you. ## 2. Don’t Go for Tongue Right Away ![Don’t Go for Tongue Right Away](https://img.allw.mn/content/yh/ry/gh7rvl2x56f2a73a7e587658993954_500x250.gif) You don't want to stick your tongue into his throat as soon as you lock lips. Start off with a few small pecks and work your way up. ## 3. Keep Your Eyes Closed ![Keep Your Eyes Closed](https://img.allw.mn/content/st/a2/fdvcfs1456f2a73a55c28725699841_500x281.gif) It's just plain creepy to keep your eyes open while kissing. You don't want to freak him out. ## 4. Don’t Eat Garlic Beforehand ![Don’t Eat Garlic Beforehand](https://img.allw.mn/content/tw/hz/b5h29ca856f2a73a3732f693699132_500x213.gif) If you know you're going to be kissing him soon, you shouldn't eat anything that'll give you bad breath. It's common courtesy. ## 5. Tilt Your Head to the Side ![Tilt Your Head to the Side](https://img.allw.mn/content/vn/fh/crqby3xn56f2a73c239e8847527477_500x224.gif) You don't want to bump noses. In order to stop that from happening, you need to tilt your head to the side as you go in for the kiss. ## 6. Have Good Hygiene ![Have Good Hygiene](https://img.allw.mn/content/hk/er/rkiez96p56f2a73aba970399518635_500x275.gif) Make sure you brush your teeth every single day, multiple times a day. Keep that mouth fresh. ## 7. Don’t Put Your Hands in Inappropriate Spots ![Don’t Put Your Hands in Inappropriate Spots](https://img.allw.mn/content/zi/ah/uemwjqxf56f2a73ab3d42395175914_500x246.gif) Only touch him below the belt if he's okay with the idea. Otherwise, keep your hands on his face and chest. ## 8. Wear Chapstick ![Wear Chapstick](https://img.allw.mn/content/o3/el/dltnvp8k56f2a73ccadea282020386_500x281.gif) You want your lips to be soft and smooth for him. That's why you need to apply Chapstick before the kissing starts. ## 9. Don’t Freak out ![Don’t Freak out](https://img.allw.mn/content/y4/ns/jqx6fans56f2a73b32708096104986_500x222.gif) You should be relaxed while you kiss. If you're too nervous, no one is going to enjoy the occasion. ## 10. No PDA ![No PDA](https://img.allw.mn/content/ay/ih/rf9cnwie56f2a73c77bd5682136661_500x281.gif) It's inappropriate to make-out with a boy in front of strangers (or in front of your friends and family, for that matter). No one wants to see your tongues poking around. ## 11. Breathe through Your Nose ![Breathe through Your Nose](https://img.allw.mn/content/og/wj/tn8o94o456f2a73b657a8181186760_490x275.gif) If you don't breathe through your nose, it'll be hard to kiss for more than a few seconds. That's why you have to remember to stop breathing through your mouth. ## 12. Kiss during Sex ![Kiss during Sex](https://img.allw.mn/content/ms/bq/zdc4eodh56f2a78fcb250592616699_500x213.gif) Don't forget to kiss during sex. It'll make the activity feel more intimate. ## 13. Don’t Kiss Someone else’s Boyfriend ![human action, black and white, black, person, monochrome photography,](https://img.allw.mn/content/i5/ny/ssnu8lj158c642bbe0dd2282407342_500x281.gif) This one is common sense. If he's already dating someone, don't kiss him. It's not fair to his girlfriend. ## 14. Don’t Kiss with a Cold Sore ![Don’t Kiss with a Cold Sore](https://img.allw.mn/content/le/wx/lb3n094456f2a73bab1a8818547396_490x250.gif) Did you know that cold sores are actually a form of Herpes? If you have one, you can spread it to your partner by kissing. ## 15. Pause to Let Him Breathe ![Pause to Let Him Breathe](https://img.allw.mn/content/ul/jr/byq7ze4956f2a73c2199b701490039_500x200.gif) Even if you're mainly breathing through your nose, you might need a second. That's why you should pull apart every once in a while. ## 16. Don’t Kiss While Drunk ![Don’t Kiss While Drunk](https://img.allw.mn/content/fd/rv/ywmg18sv56f2a73cb20cd569986364_500x257.gif) You don't want to wake up in the morning, regretting what you did the night before. That's why you should avoid kissing new people when you're wasted. ## 17. Let Him Know What It Means ![Let Him Know What It Means](https://img.allw.mn/content/zy/mv/mtj3scbf56f2a73cb9161237133806_500x259.gif) If you kiss someone, do them a favor by letting them know what it means. Do you want a relationship or were you just looking for a little fun? Clear things up for him. You don't want to break any of these rules and make your date feel uncomfortable. Do the smart thing and stick to them. What other kissing rules can you think of that more men and women should remember to follow? ## Related Posts - [nightskiesnetwork](https://love.allwomenstalk.com/websites-that-will-help-keep-your-ldr-alive-and-kicking/) - [how to watch netflix with someone long distance](https://love.allwomenstalk.com/watch-netflix-with-your-long-distance-lover/) - [odds of falling in love](https://love.allwomenstalk.com/things-thatll-boost-your-chances-of-falling-in-love/) - [what is bed death](https://love.allwomenstalk.com/how-married-couples-can-get-past-bed-death/) - [things healthy couples do](https://love.allwomenstalk.com/what-healthy-couples-do-each-and-every-morning/) - [stages of ghosting](https://love.allwomenstalk.com/the-stages-of-ghosting-on-a-relationship/) - [black couples questions](https://love.allwomenstalk.com/date-night-questions-for-couples-who-already-know-everything-about-each-other/) - [couples eating together](https://love.allwomenstalk.com/did-you-know-that-eating-together-strengthens-your-relationship/) - [trust can be built in a relationship if:](https://love.allwomenstalk.com/ways-to-build-trust-in-a-relationship-if-youve-slipped-before/) - [geeky date ideas](https://love.allwomenstalk.com/the-nerdiest-nerd-things-to-do-in-a-relationship/) - [7 Best Movie Kisses ...](https://movies.allwomenstalk.com/best-movie-kisses/) - [7 Ways to Avoid a Kiss at the End of a Date ...](https://allwomenstalk.com/7-ways-to-avoid-a-kiss-at-the-end-of-a-date/) ## Site Information - [Main page](https://allwomenstalk.com) - [Contact us](https://allwomenstalk.com/contact.html) - [HTML article](https://love.allwomenstalk.com/kissing-rules-you-should-always-abide-by/)
