7 Horrible Things About Kissing That Everyone Thinks, But Won't Say
byAutumn Jones
When I was younger, I built up the idea of my first kiss so much that when it finally rolled around it was a huge let down. It was nothing like the passionate kissing I saw on television and movies. And who knew there was going to be tongue involved? Not this girl! This kiss checked many boxes for the horrible things about kissing. But I'm glad I didn't give up, because it eventually got so much better.
As with anything you want to be good at, practice makes perfect, and kissing is no exception. Not many people are born with the kissing skills that make their partners melt — you have to earn your stripes. That means you're probably going to fumble through some pretty rough make out sessions before earning your gold star. And once you figure out how to do things right, you're not going to want to stop.
But even if you become a master of the French kiss and learn all the techniques and tricks, there are still some pretty gross things about kissing. Though the negatives aren’t quite enough to make you give up kissing altogether, there are enough that may keep you from kissing the next stranger you drunkenly meet at the bar. So next time you’re thinking of smooching a new drunken conquest, consider the seven horrible things about kissing. You could save yourself from an awful experience, and maybe even a cold come Flu season.
