If you want to improve your next make out session, we’ve got a tutorial full of tips to help you sustain the passion, mix things up, and make your kissing partner feel appreciated. Meet your kissing partner’s eyes and give them a little smile to show that you’re ready for some action.

You can also gently lean your forehead against your kissing partner’s, put your hand on their face, touch their leg, or even give them a quick peck on the lips before you start kissing. Your eye contact doesn’t have to be super intense, especially if you’re just starting with this person. Just a few seconds of eye contact should get the message across. The best way to prevent head-butting, elbowing, and clanking teeth is to do everything slowly, especially in the beginning and when you’re changing positions. As time progresses, you can introduce more passionate kissing techniques, but they can only be sustained for so long. Always return to a slow, comfortable pace. Once your tongues are in each other’s mouths, you can move them slowly in a circular motion, move them on top of each other, or do whatever feels good without moving too fast or getting sloppy.

Remember that if you’re making out for the first time, you have to be extra cautious before you begin. The first time is about figuring out the person’s comfort level, boundaries, and favourite maneuvers. If your partner doesn’t seem to be comfortable with your actions, ask for their consent before trying to go further. If you’re on a first date, keep in mind there’s no right or wrong about whether you should kiss. It’s up to how comfortable the two of you feel with each other. This doesn’t mean that you should frantically paw your kissing partner every chance you get.
