Kissing.

My first kiss was probably when I was about eight; I remember vaguely receiving it and being embarrassed. I was on the bus sitting between these two boys playing go bots (like transformers) all of a sudden they both kissed me at the same time on opposite cheeks. I wasn't interested in boys much then, trees, lego blocks, and cabbage patch kids were far more interesting. I think I did like to show off to boys, but I didn't expect any reaction other than distain, and if I got any other reaction I ran!

Cutting to the present day I feel I am in a position to be able to be objective about kissing. I haven't kissed that many people but enough to realize just how much kisses varies from person to person. Some don't open their mouth at all, some don't hold a kiss for long, some try to stick their tongue down your throat, some kiss hard, some kiss soft, some vary their kiss, others have one technique that they use over and over. Some pull your hair, rub your back, your neck. I hate hair pullers. Hate. I honestly want to punch anyone that pulls my hair! What is the damn deal?

A persons physical attributes affect how they kiss, most obviously the size of someone's lips, also the length of someone's tongue, the softness of their lips, the taste of their mouth, the shape of their teeth.

All these things are what make kissing so intimate and special. You can have 'your kiss' with your boyfriend or girlfriend. It is only yours and if you split up you can't recreate that kiss with anyone else. I’m actually not sure why you would want to.

Remember your first kiss?
