To ask how you kiss?

So. Weird q! Im a 24 year old girl, reasonably attractive, have met lots of boys and had “things” but never full sex and not yet had a serious relationship... lots of nights out have ended in drunken songs however and I would consider myself a good kisser I think?! But it got me thinking - what is a good kisser? How do you actually do it?! At the risk of TMI, I normally do the alohabet thing: so when going in will use my tongue to “draw” letters on theirs - stops it being too tonguey and adds some interest. No complaints yet... please help

Do you hum the ABC tune In your head while kissing, just incase you miss a letter out or get lost in the alphabet?

Like TrollTheRespawn said - go full on Dementor.

They fucking love that.

Kissing is gross.
Boys...also gross.

Get married quick, then you don't have to do all that kissy crap

(Also stop overthinking. It's not healthy.)

My 8 year old dd finds the idea of kissing fascinating or gross depending on her mood. The other day she said me and dh should sleep with our lips together all night. Sound rather uncomfortable to me!

Littlebelina · 27/02/2018 07:53

Is this mumsnet or a sweet valley high book? Alphabet with your tongue? Hmm

God...my drunken snogs in my younger days were so drunken I couldn't tell you what I was doing. There was definitely no alphabet involved though.

It has to be a pretty special occasion for the tongues to come out these days, much better everyone keeping their saliva in their own mouths 👍

ClashCityRocker · 27/02/2018 08:39

I read in more magazine once that if you hum the national anthem when you're giving someone a blowjob it enhances their pleasure.

It doesn't and leads to some very confused looks.

GerdaLovesLili · 27/02/2018 08:39

The alphabet thing is only a "thing" with teenage boys. So many "innocent" young women on MN recently.

ShatnersWig · 27/02/2018 08:42

For some reason I now keep thinking of millions of teenagers across the globe having their first serious snog while thinking about this week's edition of Sesame Street brought to you by the letter Q and thinking "how the hell do I do that with my tongue????"

But it got me thinking

Grin

You can do better than that!

APontypandyPioneer · 27/02/2018 08:43

I think considering ones self a good kisser and using an alphabet tongue seems a contradiction. Confused And how does using alphabet tongue make it less tonguey. I've just so many questions about this.

But for goodness sake stop over analysing it and let the mood sweep you away. If you start tonguing the alphabet you're not really feeling the moment are you.

SparklyMagpie · 27/02/2018 08:45

Woahhh careful OP, you might catch cooties !

Scribblegirl · 27/02/2018 08:46

To be fair I'm 28, engaged and I still go to the pub, get drunk with my mates, and talk about boys. Sometimes my mates wind up having a drunken snog. And I do remember reading the alphabet thing in Sugar in the early 2000s Grin

Not sure I'd post to ask about technique on mumsnet though... good kissing is intuitive. Generally if I'm thinking about it when doing it, it's just bad chemistry between me and that person - we're not compatible.

Caveat: it's been 6 years since I kissed someone who isn't my fiancé 😂

SparklyMagpie · 27/02/2018 08:47

Well id rather play countdown with my tongue....I'll take a consonant please

APontypandyPioneer · 27/02/2018 08:47

FreudianSlurp - thank you for my morning lolz. Unexpected vowel movement! Brilliant.

Scribblegirl · 27/02/2018 08:48

Actually to my shame I realise last week I suggested to said fiancé that we should establish what kind of kiss we should go for at the end of the wedding service, so maybe I'm not the mature woman of the world I like to think I am Blush

NotUmbongoUnchained · 27/02/2018 08:52

I’d be horrified if husband did the alphabet! I don’t like tongue at all.

Rosamund1 · 27/02/2018 08:54

That’s fair enough scribblegirl, no one wants to see full on tongue wrestling at the alter. More than a chaste peck (He’s 93 and I’m just doing this for money), but no longer than about 3 seconds.

sinceyouask · 27/02/2018 08:54

Not a conversation I've had in more than 20 years op, but you have made me think of a translated poem I love:

Nothing is changed: against the dining-room windows
hard grains of whirling snow still beat.
I am what I was,
but a man came to me.

“What do you want?” I asked.
“To be with you in hell,” he said.
I laughed. “It’s plain you mean
to have us both destroyed.”

He lifted his thin hand
and lightly stroked the flowers:
“Tell me how men kiss you,
tell me how you kiss.”

His torpid eyes were fixed
unblinking on my ring.
Not a single muscle stirred
in his clear, sardonic face.

Oh, I see: his game is that he knows
intimately, ardently,
there’s nothing from me he wants,
I have nothing to refuse.
