kissing
The question may seem straight out of 1950, but that doesn't mean it's not worth pondering.
Four things we know we're not supposed to do on the first date: talk only about ourselves, send text messages, explain how great the sex was with our exes, get fall-down sloppy drunk.
Two things we're told not to do, but sometimes do anyway: split the bill, have sex. The Smoking-Hot Reason To Avoid First-Date Sex

Kissing is fun. But why do people act like it's such a big deal when two girls are doing it?
Don't get us wrong. We like kissing. We like it a lot. And we want everyone who enjoys kissing to be able to kiss whomever they want (as long as it's all consensual, of course).
But here's where we've had it: girl-on-girl kissing. Not the kissing itself. But the ridiculous hullabaloo that erupts around it. What's the big deal? Why do people care? And why do straight female celebrities (yes, you, Megan Fox and Katy Perry) keep making such a big deal out of the fact that they've done it? How To Kiss Well
Below, we've listed the top five reasons we're … Read More
Easy ways to let him know what you want.
You couldn’t have asked for a better date. He chose a good outfit. He opened the door for you. He was funny and charming. He picked up the check. He walked you to your car or subway stop. You’re pretty sure he wants to kiss you, but he looks pretty nervous. Here are four ways you can help him muster up the nerve to take the plunge:
Keep the conversation going. It takes a minute or two for a guy to psych himself up for the moment of truth. The worst thing you can do is give the impression … Read More
This is a PSA on PDA.
Have you ever been in public and a couple will just not stop making out? If they're lesbians at a Seattle Mariners game, you can have them removed. But anyone else (and if they're just making out, maybe with a little over the clothes groping) and you may just have to sit and take it.
Before we really explore Public Displays of Affection (and how they make some people's skin crawl), please please please check out this story from Em & Lo.
Yeah, crazy right? (It's like that scene in Mall Rats where Jason … Read More
Kissing: we love to do it, but why? An investigation into the science of the smooch.
Pecking, smooching, Frenching, and playing tonsil-hockey—there are as many names for kissing as there are ways to do it. Whether we use it as an informal greeting or an intensely romantic gesture, kissing is one of those ingrained human behaviors that seems to defy explanation. Its many purposes—a blow and peck for good luck on dice, lips to ground after a rocky boat ride, kisses in the air to an acquaintance, and the long slow smooches of Hollywood—have different meanings yet are similar in nature. So why is it that we love to pucker up?

Most people think that they're a good kisser, what if you're wrong?
Our friends over at Lemondrop compiled a great list of Worst Kisses Ever. I feel particularly bad for the young lady who blacked out and came to during her first kiss (and, evidently, not in a good way). Please read it, very funny, evidently some dudes think that tongue into mouth, like p into v, works best as an exploratory affair.
Reading (and laughing and scoffing and wincing) at these tales of woe got me thinking, what if I'm a bad kisser? Almost everyone I've ever met goes through life with the following beliefs about his or herself: "I … Read More

And as anyone who is sex-educated knows: the better the foreplay, the better the sex. Read on to discover ten unusual kissing facts, and be grateful that locking lips no longer leads you to the guillotine.
