First kiss

#askvicki , #boys, #kissing

If like many other girls you are waiting for your first kiss, you’ll know it can be exciting and daunting all at the same time. Lots of girls worry about what technique to use, being really nervous or that your special someone will fall into fits of laughter. Here are some tips that should make this very special moment in your life memorable:

  • Kissing is the most natural pastime in the world and whilst it’s ok to practice on your pillow when the time comes you will instinctively know what to do.
  • Being nervous can make lips dry so moisturise with a lip balm or clear gloss.
  • Don’t rush it. Relax and take your time and you could even let the other person take the lead.
  • A first kiss is a very personal moment in anyone’s life so don’t be afraid to tell your date that you would prefer NOT to do it in front of a group of friends.
  • Whilst it can be fun to gaze into someone’s eyes when kissing, some people find it uncomfortable. So, just as your lips are about to touch, gently close your eyes and enjoy the moment.
  • Turn your head slightly to the right or left to ensure noses don’t bump. Don’t worry if they do - it’s ok to laugh and it takes time to get to know what the other person likes.
  • You may ask yourself what do I do with the rest of my body… a good tip is to lightly place your arms around the other person’s neck or waist.
  • If you’re a little taller than someone, don’t worry, you can just bend your head a little.
  • Don’t feel pressured into French kissing (when the tongue is placed gently in the mouth). But if you feel that this is something you would like to try, slowly open your mouth and gently touch the other person’s lips with your tongue, they will get the hint and respond.
  • We all like encouragement but very often moaning or sighing is difficult when your lips are locked, so instead gently squeeze the other person’s arm, or simply stop, give them a smile and continue.
  • Finally, when the moment has ended don’t be tempted to pull away, instead rest your head on the other person’s shoulder and give them a hug so they understand you enjoyed your first kiss.

Bisexual Girl

My first kiss was when I didn’t know I was bisexual so like there was this girl in my class and she came out as lesbian last year and one day we got sat next to each other in form and we became friends. We became really good friends and I got her to join the rugby team. Soon we were going round to each other’s houses, telling each other everything. And then we got invited to a party together. Then one of my rugby team members (she’s reallly annoying) started trying to get me to kiss this boy who i kissed in the Year 8 boys-girls disco. Actually he’s gay and he has a boyfriend now. So I went back to my friend and we explored the hotel together and then we went to a secluded room and she kissed me and I was like what?!?! and then I kissed her again like i thought I was straight. Then one of my stupid rugby teammates turned up and I had to leave. Now we’re dating and we’ve come out to the whole year ❤️

I love that all the first kiss stories on here are LGBTQ+ stories like there is like one story abt boys I have seen so far lol. Anyway I wanted to say abt my first kiss. So basically it happened a few weeks ago, I’ve been in a relationship with this boy for abt a year now and one day we just went to the beach together. We paddled for a bit and then we sat on the shore and we kissed like for a really long time and it was great so yeah that’s my first kiss
