What Does Your Kiss Say About You? (Oct, 2011)

 “A kiss, when all is said, what is it?

A rosy dot placed on the “i” in loving;

'Tis a secret told to the mouth instead of to the ear”

~Edmond Rostand

But a kiss is much more than that. It is unique form of body language to communicate and express your mood and particular relationships, such as love, sexual desire, and friendship. There are many different degrees of kisses and they mean a variety of things. Below are some personal faves, so pucker up and read on!

*A kiss on the cheek is a friendly greeting to an acquaintance or a dear friend.

*It can also make one reminiscent of childhood and first crushes/kisses.

*A kiss on the forehead is by far the most important of kisses. Its so much more than a sensual or friendly kiss. It means you deeply love and care about someone, whether it is your significant other or a child, it signifies a higher kind of love.

*Butterfly Kisses isn't just the name of a song. These kisses are super sweet, fluttering your eyelashes over someone's skin.

*Eskimo kisses, or rubbing noses, are a cute alternative to the butterfly kiss

*A deep sexy kiss ending with nibble on your lover's bottom lip may suggest your aggressiveness and that you're ready for a kinky romp.

*The more romantic kiss with tongue, also known as the French kiss, signals sexual intimacy. French kisses are usually long (make-out session) and passionate, with closed eyes. Make sure you are prepared and keep your breath fresh and lips soft for optimum tonguing technique!

**French kiss trivia: It is often misconceived that this kiss originated in France, when in   actuality, was named after the country because it is known for its romance and love   and the acceptance of public displays of affection there.
