Sometimes it's easier to impart sexual technique by focusing on what NOT to do -- especially when it comes to something as variable as kissing, where there are so many different styles, techniques and preferences that many people enjoy.

Whatever you do, DO NOT...

1 ... have bad breath or unclean teeth -- it's the equivalent of hooking up in underwear with skid marks.
2 ... lick your lips before going in -- this is not dinner.
3 ... drown your lips in gloss or lipstick.
4 ... tongue jab.
5 ... have chapped lips.
6 ... aim for their uvula with your tongue.
7 ... slobber all over your partner's face -- spit is cold and nasty when it gets outside your mouth.
8 ... make your tongue hard and pointy.
9 ... head straight for the boobs, the ass or the crotch as soon as the kissing commences.
10 ... immediately ram your tongue inside.
