Kisses to Try on International Kissing Day
7 ways to upgrade your kissing repertoire
Since 2006, July 6 has been designated as International Kissing Day, which is a celebration of kissing and the importance that it has in all types of relationships — from romantic to familial to friendly. In fact, there are even events organized around the holiday in order to highlight the important role that kissing plays in different cultures. But obviously, you don’t need a holiday to appreciate the importance of kissing in a romantic relationship — or to become a better kisser. William Cane, the author of The Art of Kissing: The Truth About What Men and Women Do, Think, and Feel* and Kiss Like a Star: Smooching Secrets from the Silver Screen, has studied kissing extensively in order to identify some of the sexiest, most gratifying kissing techniques two people can engage in. Want to celebrate International Kissing Day with some new moves? Add some of these kisses to your bag of tricks.
The Sliding Kiss
“The sliding kiss is where you do little, itsy bitsy kisses along your partner’s arm, up to their shoulder, and then up to their neck.” said Cane. “You’re just doing little, funny quick kisses while trying to monitor your partner’s response to see if they’re laughing or you’re hitting the right spot.”
