A Kiss Is Still A Kiss (Pashing Protocol)

"You must remember this,
A kiss is still a kiss,
A sigh is just a sigh,
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by."
-Sam, the piano player; Casablanca


I think I might be a bad kisser. Maybe it's because for the first few years of my adolescent life, the thought of someone's tongue in my mouth was so repulsive, that I didn't have much practice. Or maybe it's because I'm a fan of classic cinema, and in all the movies I watched back in the day, no one ever seemed to use any tongue. Regardless, it has been recently brought to my attention that I might be a bad kisser.

Now, don't get me wrong: I've never gotten any complaints before, but after the bad sex episode, I've learned not to ask questions when I'm not prepared for the answer I might get. LOL. No, this revelation came from a girlfriend of mine (don't get too excited gentlemen, we weren't kissing; we were just talking about technique).

Me: "I was kissing _________ and I think he tried to slip me the tongue."
Friend: "What d'you mean 'slip you the tongue'?"
Me: "He tried to put his tongue all the way into my mouth."
Friend: (incredulously) "Wait, you don't kiss with tongue in your mouth?!"
Me: "Um, no."
Friend: "That's not possible."
Me: "Actually it is."
Friend: "I don't understand. How can someone kiss without tongue?"
Me: "So when you kiss what do you do with your tongue?"
Friend: "I just wrap it around my partner's or you use it to explore the other person's mouth...y'know play around the gums and what not."
Me: "And what else?"
Friend: "That's it. The point of kissing is to just keep your tongues intertwined."
Me: "Sooo....you're using your tongue to clean the other person's gums then."
Friend: "Well, it's not so clinical as you make it sound..."
Me: "I don't see the point of that. If I'm gonna put my tongue in someone else's mouth, it sure as hell won't be to pick up any left over food along their gumline."
Friend: "So how do you kiss, then?"
Me: "Well, occasionally, I might suck on the tip of a tongue - just the tip; but mostly it's about the lips...I very rarely ever put my tongue in someone else's mouth."
Friend: "That's so strange."

Am I the strange one, or is she? I really can't understand someone's whoooooole tongue in my mouth. What if I have food along my gumline? Ugh. I can't imagine what I'd do if I got a piece of chicken from some dude's lunch while we were sharing a pash. *shudders* What do you think?

Y'know I'm gonna have to ask some of my previous pashers about my skill level, right? LOL.

K, your worries about having leftover chicken is a little alarming, who you kissing, that doesn't at least gargle after a good meal?

There is nothing better in life that a lot of tongue....everywhere...

Think its time you explore more...think this is a topic for good friday...use more tongue...the cost: Tongue

Well I'm more like your friend, I enjoy tongue when I kiss, but I don't think you're strange, I just think to each his own, and if you haven't gotten any complaints then more power to you.

Always brush before making out. if you can't brush, walk around with a lil bottle of Listerine, always.

Bad breath will always be a deal breaker. For the current situation and the future. You don't want to be known as the fowl mouthed, bad kisser do you?

uhmmm, I'm gonna go with that's slightly strange.

There's nothing like a man that knows how to kiss...the right amount of pressure, wetness, and tongue. And if he does that little swirly bit on the roof of the mouth, followed by a nice suck on the lip *shudders* whew.

Anyhoo...if you've never had anyone take charge of your kissing, then those persons you've knocked lips with either didn't think you did a bad job....or maybe they, too, had a thing about wiping down the inside of someone else's mouth... ROFL

Definitely strange.

I think at some point in time we need to all graduate to using tongue :-p

if you are worried about picking up food from the other persons mouth find somebody new.. or cleaner.

Kissing is an art...and not everyone has the talent for it. When one person kisses you with tongue, you will melt, while when someone else kisses you with tongue, you'll feel to throw up the last meal you ate. The key is to keep kissing "frogs" until you find the person that melts you. And of course, a bad kiss is just that...a bad kiss, never to be repeated. But a damn good kiss, (which I believe has to have tongue and eyes closed) is one where for those brief few seconds (or minutes) the world stops spinning on its axis and nothing else matters.

Hmm, I've been told I'm a good kisser. In fact, I won many a girl who became curious to find out if I was as talented in 'other' areas(ratings say I am by the way).

But no tongue? That's a bit weird, seeing that the natural instinct is to use tongue.

Personally, I think exploring inside the other persons mouth isn't half as erotic as teasing her lips etc, but then techniques differ, and I know what works for me. :-)

Yall are a bunch a non-readin' readers...every man jack of yall. Lemme see who was the person who came up with this "no tongue theory". I didn't say I didn't use my tongue; just won't put it all the way in someone's mouth.

And to the dental hygenists who are all talkin' bout brush/gargle before kissing...how do you go about that exactly when someone is leaning in to kiss you, say after dinner. Do you say, "Hold on, lemme go to the bathroom and gargle, I'll be right back?" Talk about kissing with eyes open.

Jumbie, I'm with you: it's all about the lips. I could suck on a lip aaallll day. Hmmm, I might need a moment...

And in case you were wondering, I only got one "ok" when I did my research. I believe one young man even went as far as to say I was "spectacular". *pops collar*

Hehe.

Bwahahaha! OMG! This post is funny as hell, I was grimacing while reading but laughing my head off (yeah, it's possible to do both!)

Ah boy. Well, uhm, I can totally relate to both you and friend. Cuz really, a sensuous kinda kiss really going to involve a bit of tongue Simple. I mean, you kinda start with the lips, a kinda licking thing, and then tip of tongue and then get into a little gentle tongue duel.

For me it has to be a gradual thing, you have some guys though, you kiss them and without any build up (yeah, kissing also involves foreplay), they stick the whole dam tongue all the way down like they're trying to connect with my darn tonsil. Hate those.

Oh Gosh, this is a funnny as hell post! I'm still laughing.

It's a lucky thing for me you link your old posts. I thought I had read every single post, and then you'd link one, I check it out to realize that I didn't see that one.

Ummmmmm, I think the whole gum licking thing is off. That's a bad example of a what kissing is and should be about. For me, it's sorta like communicating via 'tongue dancing'. Sometimes a little tongue is right, sometimes a lot is just as good... depends on the flow of the passion. If you're a late bloomer to this, it's ok. I was a fast ass little boy (first tongue kiss was in 5th grade... damn!!!) To put it crassly, some of the best examples of 'real' kissing is in some of the tone downed pornos. Actually, porno is probably one of THE best visual guides for anything you might want to address in ones repetoire of 'sexy-time' techniques. Advantage of being a Yankee... the porno industry was born here. Anyways, get yourself some decent porn and take a-look-see at the kissing scenes. Don't think about the whole 'his tongue is in my mouth... ewww' thing. It's about the flow, softness and wetness (not too wet) of the kiss. If you don't own any porn, I bet half of your female friends have a secret stash hidden away for those 'dry spells'. Get to researching.
