Put More Bliss in Your Kiss

How can you become a make-out maestra so masterful he'll be moaning for more? Expertly mouthing off isn't just a matter of puckering up and planting a wet one. A fabulous kiss is an intricate balancing act involving tongue technique, pressure control, and moistness monitoring. Here, real guys and lip-service pros spill their best smooching secrets so you can mesmerize him when you go mouth-to-mouth.

Your first step toward a mind-blowing kiss: Establish great chemistry. "When you're talking to a guy, if you're dying to touch him, taste him, feel his body heat, you know you're attracted,

Once you know the attraction is mutual, invade his space with a tantalizing kiss-me telegram. That's what works for Kristy Cunningham. "I make tempting 'innocent' body contact with a new man so that he knows subconsciously that I want to get physical," says the 25-year-old real estate agent in Indianapolis. "It creates such sexual sparks that when we finally do kiss, it's like lightning striking."

Or if lip-licking vixen is more your style, get orally erotic with the way you eat. "I love to watch my girlfriend savor a meal," admits Sam Kilmore, a 28-year-old musician in New York City. "Watching her sensual lips and mouth relish the flavor drives me wild — I can't wait for her to devour me the same way."

Everyone has their pecking preferences. And as most of us already know, forcing yours on an unwitting partner can instantly make him kisstory.

Most women, he says, prefer light, feathery kisses. So if you want a make-out session that's mutually satisfying, you have to give in — at times — to each other's personal tastes.

"To clue a woman in to what I want in a kiss, I'll smooch her the way I want to be smooched back.Being a gold medalist in the mouth-to-mouth event will turn any man to passion putty. "Honestly, who just wants to be good? You want to be orally outstanding," says Ava Cadell, PhD, a clinical sexologist in Los Angeles. She devised the following take-his-pout-prisoner plan: First, kiss your lover's face all over. Start out with dry, baby pecks on his eyebrows, chin, and cheeks. Then, trace the outline of your lover's lips with the tip of your tongue. When you get to his mouth, don't dive in; instead, slowly exert a little more pressure. Entice him by pulling back and sucking gently on his bottom lip. Finally, go in for a kiss, this time with a lot of wetness to increase the sexual excitement. "And don't forget to employ your hands in the make-out mission by caressing his hair, face, thighs, and buttocks," reminds Cadell. "Men absolutely love it when women take control of the kiss.

Men like to be kissed top-to-bottom, front-to-back, and side-to-side. So go ahead and explore his whole body, experimenting with pressure, wetness, and tongue techniques. "I go absolutely crazy when my neck is kissed roughly," admits John McNally, 24, a grad student in Dallas.
"Observe his responses to see what he likes most," says sex surrogate Cohen Greene. "If he stiffens up or seems ticklish when you're kissing a certain spot, move on. To each his own erotic zone.

But if you're not sure where to start your ecstatic expedition, begin with Cohen Greene's round-his-world kiss: Gently flip his nipples with your tongue and kiss down his body into his pubic zone. Nuzzle your nose in his genitals; then kiss the insides of his thighs. Then, work your way up to his penis, and kiss it with pressure. Move back to his inner thighs, voyage down his legs.

Just don't be surprised if, in response to your global warming, he sends you to a totally uncharted sexual stratosphere.
