The song says that breaking up is hard to do, but making out can be just as confounding. What’s appropriate and what’s not? How much tongue is too much? Should your eyes be open or closed? Arghhh! So much perplexity and planning for something that’s supposed to be so pleasurable! Here are some tips that may help your next make-out session
Be fresh for the kiss
If it looks like your plans for the evening are going to involve swapping spit, you’ll want to be sure you’re thoroughly presentable. If you get a chance to freshen up and can brush your teeth, then you’re ahead of the game. But if you’ve been out of eat or it’s been a long time since you brushed, it’s always a good idea to pop a mint or chew a piece of gum.
Pick the right place to make-out
If you’ve exchanged a couple of kisses and suspect things might get a little more hot and heavy, then use that old real estate rule: location, location, location. Find a place where the two of you can be comfortable, but also choose a place where you won’t make other people uncomfortable. A make out session should be between two people, not two people and everybody else who passes by them at the food court.
Take it slowly
Once you realize that the couple of kisses has turned to serious smoochies, get comfortable. Your position will be depend on your location (car, couch, etc.), but you’ll want to find a way to hold one another or otherwise make body contact. Don’t be in a rush. Making out is not a race to the finish line: it’s about exploring and getting to know one another. Find a compatible rhythm and get in the groove.
Telling your partner you need a break
You’re going to have to come up for air sooner or later, though. If you need a bit of a break to catch your breath but don’t want to completely quit making out, you’ll want to communicate that to your partner. One good way to do that is to maintain physical contact. Even if you have to pull your face away for a bit, you can still maintain contact by hugging or stroking your partner. To let your partner know that you’re enjoying yourself, you can communicate your pleasure with body language. You can also make a little noise, and while you don’t want to have a whole conversation, sighs and sweet nothings can help you show signs of pleasure.
Knowing if you’re doing okay
If don’t have a lot of experience at making out or are afraid you’re not very good at it, one good rule of thumb is to think about what feels good to you and to do that to your partner. If you get goose bumps when someone strokes your neck, chances are your partner will, too. Also remember that making out in real life is not the same as it is on TV, where professional actors usually have a director coaching them from off screen so that everything looks great for the camera. When real people make out they aren’t always in perfect synch, and even people who’ve been together for years will still occasionally bump noses or knock teeth.
