News flash, guys: Women love kissing. And while to you making out may just be another landmark on the way to getting it on, consider this. Many a lady has been charmed into coitus by a guy she might not have been all that into, but who was a helluva good kisser.  A great kiss says loads about what else you might have to offer.  Do you have good lip service?

Means to an End

So, you want to be a great kisser to convince a girl to have sex with you? Fine. The first rule then? Stop thinking about sex. When we became adults, suddenly "necking" became  "foreplay". Which means that as soon as we get really caught up in your kissing, there's a hand sneaking up our shirt.  You've clicked on the cruise control and steered the smooching to the final destination -- sex.  Instead of making your make-out session so goal-oriented, can't we just enjoy it for the fun it is? It's not like we won't have sex with you later anyway.

Tongue Twisters

Query a few of your platonic galpals about that kinds of kissing that kill the mood and the most common complaint will likely be along the lines of "random tongue poking".   Didn't your mama tell you it's rude to stick out your tongue? There's nothing more annoying than a guy whose reptilian tongue probes our unsuspecting mouths prematurely. You could take an eye out with that thing. And while we're on the subject of tongues, could we keep it in the shallow end of the pool for a bit? Apart from just generally being unsexy, shoving your tongue down her throat -- especially suddenly -- could induce vomiting. Probably not the effect you were looking for.

Pucker Play

This is supposed to be fun, remember? Shift your pace and pressure. Linger. Let up long enough to share some sexy eye contact. Nibble. Lick. Keep your mouth open. Listen for signals from your kissee. Breathe. Move beyond her mouth, ears and neck.  Find the spot that makes her melt (trust us, she has one). Vary your technique. Sigh appreciatively. And enjoy yourself.
