of kisses & smooches

i shall write a short post about kissing in this entry. 

recently, i watched a tv serial where the girl was superbly health conscious. or rather, she's superbly cleanliness conscious. well, not ocd per se, just super super cleanliness conscious. and in one particular episode, during a date, her boyfriend wanted to kiss her and she freaked out and said that she would be exposed to millions of bacteria from her boyfriend. haha... it was quite funny, although true (see this link about kisses). but really, if we were to be so conscious about such things, then we might as well forget about living right? heh heh. then again, i must say here that there are a few things related to smells, hygiene and habits that you need to observe when lip-locking...

• if you are a smoker, gargle and rinse with a mouth wash before you kiss, smokers' breathe and the taste of smoke/ nicotine can be very uncomfortable, especially to non-smokers.

• bad breath can be very unbearable... 'nuff said.

• and associated with bad breath is bad body odor. body odors can kill! nothing beats getting yourself a nice and fresh before you kiss/ engage in intimacy with someone. and this includes wherever possible, to take a nice shower! especially after you run, or worst still, if you are heavily obese and exude a strong smell.

• also, if you have dry mouth/ dry chapped lips, chances are you also have bad breath, please please hydrate, drink and gargle. worst still, imagine kissing and smooching halfway and it starts to bleed. eeks!

• when you french kiss, don't suck like there's no tomorrow! you don't want to suck the life out of the person you are kissing. play with your tongue. make it wet! wet kisses are so erotic! but certainly, don't leave a wet floor of drools... heh heh.

• and remember, when french kissing - don't suck until you taste blood. we need lovers, not draculas in this world! haha...

• nibble sensitively if you wish to, it can be rather fun, but don't bite (especially when you french kiss)! arghhhh... 

• if you have cold sore, stay far far away. last you want is to infect your partner with it! 

• if you have mustache, for goodness sake, trim... last thing you want is to have the hair stuck between your teeth. having a by-the-way tooth flossing is fine, but imagine the hair getting stuck (or worst still, hair from the nose or even lagi worst, hair from down there) in between your teeth, aiyoooooooh!

• and if you want to have something in your mouth to freshen your breath, eg chewing gum, mint, etc... get rid of it before kissing. the last thing you want is to have someone choke on it halfway through...

and as a final point, it is always a good idea to eat a lot of fruits (especially citrus fruits) and drink lotsa water. makes everything about you fresh and oh, by the way, i read that it makes you (you know...) taste sweet too.

hahaha...
