The French Kiss!

Perfect French Kiss Photos© Links2Love Find out how NOT to French Kiss >>> The French Kiss! For those who have never done it, a French Kiss can be intimidating! Just the idea of touching your tongue to someone else's tongue may seem gross. If this is the case, then it's likely you're not ready to try it. The most important thing about French kissing, or any type of kissing or contact with someone else, is that YOU feel ready to enjoy it. There's nothing worse than being pressured into kissing. If it's forced you're not going to enjoy it - so don't do it. If you think you're ready for the French kiss - first read our Guide to the Perfect Kiss© Section (for all the basic kissing steps and tips illustrated with photos) If you've kissed someone on the lips before, the French Kiss is actually not that dramatically different from a normal kiss. During a regular mouth kiss, your lips should already be slightly parted and relaxed. Now, it's just a matter of bringing your tongue to the front of your mouth, until it touches your partner's tongue or lips. If their tongue is not already in position, the sensation of your tongue at their lips is a tell-tale sign that you're ready for this kiss to become a FRENCH kiss. If your partner is also ready with lips slightly parted, you can give the universal French Kiss signal by opening your mouth a little further and darting your tongue out just a bit. If your partner responds by opening their lips further and/or you feel their tongue against yours, great. However, this is still not an invitation to force your tongue deep into your partner's mouth or begin sucking or licking away like a kid on a dime store lollipop. Like regular kissing, French kissing is done best when it starts off slowly. As your partner responds, things can become a little more passionate and involved. If you are both enjoying it, you can always begin to move your tongue slightly, caressing their tongue with it or running your tongue over your partner's lips. Much like kissing, French kissing works out best when both people involved use a similar technique. Relaxed lips and tongue, moist but not sloppy, passionate at the appropriate time but not overly forceful. Done correctly and with a partner you feel a romantic connection with, French kissing can be a very enjoyable experience. But, perhaps the most important thing to remember is that kissing is, and always will be, an art, and not a science. There is no exact way that anyone can tell you how to French kiss. The guidelines here are just that - tips to help you along the way. You will probably kiss each person that you become romantically involved with a slightly different way, depending upon how they kiss and a multitude of other factors. Remember these tips, and 'the moment' will be that much easier!

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.

  Houston, we have a problem

It seems we get at least three e-mails a week asking for VERY SPECIFIC instructions on how exactly to kiss someone on the lips. While it's one thing to describe it in words, we often find that, like the saying, a picture is worth a thousand...



So, here we have it. A step-by-step illustrated Guide to Kissing, How to Kiss and the 'Perfect Kiss!'

The first step to the perfect kiss is the hardest - and unfortunately, there's no picture that can help you out there.

That first step is finding the right person to kiss!

Now, if you've arrived at the point where you feel you're ready to kiss (or be kissed by) that special someone, hopefully things have gone well up until now. It always helps to be yourself around others, so that you feel more comfortable with the other person, and don't feel as nervous or feel like you have to put on an 'act.' The more comfortable you feel together when you're just hanging out, the easier that first kiss should be, no matter how little experience you have.

If you follow the kissing instructions in the kissing photos above and you have the right partner, things should go well!

From here on out, your 'flights' will just get easier!

Good luck and happy kissing!  

How to be Kissed the Way You Want to be Kissed

BETTER KISSING By Lou Paget

For most of us, women and men alike, there was that one person who kissed us like no other. Some of us are lucky enough to still be with that person. For others, that person's kissing skill may have been his best attribute, and while our current partners have many other skills, kissing is not at the top of the list. No need to merely daydream about those past great kisses -- you are about to be handed the keys to the kissing kingdom.

Critically important is the way in which you approach making suggestions to your partner... Given that kissing is one of the more important parts of lovemaking, it should be something we all do well.

Always make a point of saying what works, not what doesn't. Do not tell him he doesn't kiss well or doesn't 'do it' for you unless, of course, you don't want to see him again.

Know that people will often touch (and kiss) the way they like to be touched.

As men are stronger and have thicker skin than women, they often touch to the pressure they know and like, which can be too much, especially initially, for women.

Also, because men's mouths and tongues are larger, they may be too forceful in the moment of passion. Yet men are aware how easily a woman can go from 60 to 0 on the desire meter as a result of overly forceful or careless kissing. And there is nothing they want to avoid more than something that will interrupt lovemaking.



How can you be kissed the way you want to be kissed? Follow these exercises -- and enjoy the results! 1. Take control:
You and your partner are kissing. You gently start to take control by placing your hands on either side of his face, holding his cheeks and guiding his lips.
In doing so, you are in control of the amount of pressure and motion of his mouth and, in turn, he feels the warmth of your hands. This can be especially good if your partner's mouth is too loose or open for you.

Then it is your responsibility to kiss him as you LOVE TO BE KISSED.

2.Get him to follow your lead:
Stop when you want and tell your partner, 'I just love kissing. It's the one thing that gets me ______________ [fill in the blank; for example, you might add the word 'hot' or 'turned on']. Then look at him and say, 'Will you show me what it feels like to be kissed by me?'

3. Introduce a fantasy:
Tell him that you had a dream the other night about how he was kissing you -- and it was fabulous. Whether or not you actually had this dream, what you need to do is have an idea about what you want to ask for. So think ahead to how you want to blend the new kissing style or technique you want with what he already does. That way, you're not asking for a completely different thing and won't risk offending his ego.If you can't manage to explain what you want fully using your dream, tell him, 'You did something like this' and then show him what you want. 4. Praise your partner:
Let your partner know when he has kissed you right.

If he does something you really like, repeat it on him and ask if it feels as good to him as it did to you. To tweak his style, it's important that you use one-word directions, such as 'lighter,' 'left,' 'right,' etc. Men have shared with me that sentence-long guidance feels like criticism, while one-word comments sound like gentle direction. Remember that while you may feel that the more you tell, the better, he will be hearing your words through his own sexual gender filter. 5. Repeat:
Don't assume that one time through will work. Men often need reminding (yes, even when it comes to better kissing and better sex). Repeat exercises 1-4 as often as necessary. And enjoy!

Thanksgiving Recipes, Thanksgiving Dinner Ideas LOVEly Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Recipes, Thanksgiving Dinner Ideas, Dinner, Desserts and More for a LOVEly Thanksgiving Nothin' says lovin' like somethin' you've made with your own hands - especially the good ole fashioned, flour on your face, pots a boilin,' apron askew, stirrin' up a storm kinda home cookin.' It's the thought that counts. The other person was on your mind, in your heart. You planned ahead and that proves it. The following is an old-fashioned basic Thanksgiving dinner - that works every time... Simple. Basic. But everyone loves it!!! First - the mmmmmmm... Thanksgiving Turkey* 1 pound butter 2 cups minced peeled onion 2 cups minced celery 24 oz seasoned bread stuffing 12 oz corn bread stuffing 1 (21 lb.) whole turkey 3 cups chicken broth Directions In a frying pan melt butter. Add onions and celery; cook until limp. Add chicken broth. Heat to warm. Place bread crumbs in a large mixing bowl. Lightly toss bread crumbs while adding hot liquid and vegetable mixture. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Remove neck and giblets from turkey cavity and neck. Wash turkey inside and out with cold water; pat dry. Rub salt and pepper into body cavities. Spoon stuffing into body cavities; pack loosely. (Extra stuffing can be baked in a covered casserole in the oven with the turkey during the last hour of roasting.) Close Thanksgiving turkey skin with skewers or twine and tie drumsticks together. Place turkey on a rack in a roasting pan, baste with 1/4 cup melted butter, cover tightly with aluminum foil (sealing edges) and bake for 20 minutes per pound. Once per hour, baste turkey with 1/4 cup melted butter, then re-seal foil. Test for doneness after three hours and check for correct internal temperature with meat thermometer. If turkey does not brown, remove foil from breast for last 15 minutes. Remove from oven, place on heated platter, and allow turkey to stand, loosely covered, for 10 minutes. Remove stuffing to serving bowl. Carve Thanksgiving turkey and arrange on serving platter.

Serving hint: Cover outside rim of the turkey serving platter with parsley. Place unpeeled orange slices and clusters of red (or purple) grapes in groupings on top of parsley - add pears or other colorful fruits if desired. Standback and gracefully accept accolades. Your Thanksgiving dinner is off to a glorious start with a perfect Thanksgiving turkey!

5 large sweet potatoes (or yams)
1 cup walnuts

8 oz pineapple chunks

Peel sweet potatoes, then place in pan with water and boil until moderately soft. (I do it the day before and refrigerate.)
