Troubleshooting - The PERFECT KISS

 Teens Kissing Secrets of the Perfect Kiss

"Houston, we have a problem" (uh oh) There are many ways that first kiss can go terribly wrong, but most are easily avoided. BEWARE: Moving too quickly Be careful not to startle the kissee - watch and wait for the signal to proceed If you aren't sensitive in your kissing, how empathetic and caring can you be about the rest of the realtionship... Wet, sloshy, squishy, fishy If you or the kissee need to wipe your lips, or chin, dry after the kiss - well, it wasn't 'perfect' was it? Smash-mouth smothering kiss of death Avoid the over-passionate, insensitive kiss that leaves the kissee gasping for air. Chapped, Cactus Lips There's a delicate balance to lip moisture equation. The last thing you want to do is drool on your partner, but you definitely don't want to leave scars with crispy, chafed lips. Too much Tongue and Too Much, Too Soon Keep that tongue tucked away until you get the right signals, then apply with caution - later Dragon Breath A mint or two, breath saver, gum, spray - anything to get rid of gunk-mouth. Weak, Wobbly or Wooden Passionless Pecks The swoop in and bounce out kiss is simply meaningless - unless you want to impart a "let's just sort-of be friends" type of message. Smacking, Clacking Loud Kisses The old "clack and smack" kills romance in a flash.
