New research shows how your personality is reflected in your first kiss. The first kiss is a landmark event in the lives of most individuals. You probably remember where you were at the time, who your partner was, and who initiated that all-important first expression of sexuality and affection.
It's the primary way to tell if your relationship is romantic or platonic. The quality and timing of that first kiss can be a deal-maker, or breaker. A couple's smooch style can be in perfect harmony from the very beginning. But a bad kiss can be a turn-off.
"The lips are very sensitive tissue, with many nerve endings that signal reactions such as hot and cold, sharp and soft," she said. "These same nerve endings also activate our feelings of closeness and attachment by arousing the brain's love chemicals such as oxytocin."
I'm even sorrier to have to confirm the importance of the first kiss. It is, hands down, the most important part of the first date and it can make or break the woman's decision to go on a second date.
Bottom line, a bad first kiss is only a dealbreaker if someone thinks it's a dealbreaker. If a particular kissing style is a top priority to someone, then it could be the end of the relationship before it even begins.
Not every first kiss, though, is a great kiss. They can be awkward, especially if the moment is not right or even forced. Even still, we are physically wired to tell the difference between a bad kiss from a good kisser and a "this does nothing for me" lipsmack.
Whilst bad breath, a darting tongue and a wet sloppy kiss are rated as the biggest kissing turn-offs according to science, it might also be your smell, taste or even your pheromones that's causing the problem. Being a bad kisser can be a deal breaker, but kissing is more complicated than most people think.
More than 90% of all people remember the details of their first kiss and, research points out, even more vividly than when they lost their virginity.
Americans agree kids are ready for their first kiss at age 15 (15.1 on average), while on average, they had theirs at age 14.5. But first, let's talk about sex. Americans feel kids need the "sex talk" at age 12 (12.3 on average), a year earlier than they were given the chat (13.2 on average).
The first kiss is a landmark event in the lives of most individuals. You probably remember where you were at the time, who your partner was, and who initiated that all-important first expression of sexuality and affection.
You experience an adrenaline rush: When you kiss someone for the first time, your body will release a burst of adrenaline (the fight-or-flight chemical) which increases your heart rate, boosts your energy levels and gets the blood flowing.
The most important thing about your first kiss is not to rush it. If you don't think you're ready, you can tell your BF and he should respect your decision. Talking calmly in person is always the best thing to do in a relationship, whether it's about kissing or something else.
Adrenaline Is Unleashed
"The heart rate goes up, muscle tension increases, our breathing rate speeds up, and blood flows to our internal organs." It's why you might feel "weak in the knees." But this feeling also plays a role in assessing your chemistry.
It releases the love hormone
This makes us feel more aroused and can also help to generate a closer bond and trust with our kissing partner. Kissing sends our oxytocin levels through the roof, so it helps to bring people closer together in more ways than one.
Lesson #7: No Need to Turn Your Head or Use Tongue
You are actually releasing a little when you turn your head during a kiss. You kiss, stop a little, turn your head and continuing kissing. That's for another lesson though. You also don't need to use your tongue.
A long kiss releases dopamine, oxytocin, and serotonin, feel-good chemicals that will make him smile. A single smile produces endorphins, another hormone that lifts his mood. Endorphins also create a “feedback loop” that will make him smile over and over.
A good kisser knows how to get in tune with what the other person is doing and stay in sync to their movements and vibe. So if you feel like you're well-suited to your kissing partner's style, then you're all set.
First, keep your lips soft and slightly opened, in a gently inviting and receptive way. Don't press them together tightly, but also avoid opening them too wide. Drooling and too much saliva is almost always a turn-off for men and women. On the other hand, some women and men like steamy, sloppy, wet kissing.
Most of us are right-kissers. Overall, 64.5 percent of couples turned their heads to the right and 35.5 percent turned their heads to the left.
