If you are worried about your kissing abilities, here is how not to be. Most people who don’t know how to kiss mess up the kissing process by going to extremes based on the pressure they apply to the process, though few people might be forceful with their kisses and end up bumping their partners and expressing aggressiveness. Kissing is called an art because when done correctly it can heighten the intimacy and add to the bond between partners and also help heighten the pleasures of lovemaking. But there are also many other benefits.

Benefits of kissing

Health benefits

Kissing stimulates the production of collagen. It opens up your blood vessels and can lower your blood pressure. It boosts the production of ‘happy hormones’ like oxytocin, endorphins, and dopamine, giving you an adrenalin rush of excitement and a feeling of happiness at the same time. This combination of hormones also helps in reducing stress and anxiety. It also boosts your self-esteem.

It also increases saliva production which is important in keeping the teeth and gums healthy by lubricating the mouth with healthy bacteria. This is important to help prevent tooth decay, bad breath, and cavities. An intimate and vigorous make-out session can help burn out a few calories.

Helps you connect better with your partner

While sex is an act of intimacy, kissing can be a measure of compatibility. It can help you determine how the person may be at lovemaking before deciding to go all-in into the sheets and out of those clothes.

Increases intimacy

It helps to deepen the bond you share with your partner, as it brings you closer not just physically but also emotionally. Also, the way a person kisses can tell a lot about them and help you get to know your partner better. 

Getting ready

Kissing is sensual and something that ignites passion. In order to enjoy the kissing process, one needs to go slow and ease their way into every kiss. Being anxious over your kissing abilities might lead to rushing up the process.  Nobody wants someone who is hyperactive and all over the place, as kissing is sensual and relaxing. Making you settle down and get engaged in the process. 

If you are sure that a kiss is a possibility on a date or a meet-up, the most important thing to check for is bad breath as this can be a huge turn-off. Make sure to pop in some mints, apply a bit of lip balm, and make the kiss something to look forward to for your partner.

Kissing can mean different things for different people

One needs to understand that a few people are shy and timid and their kisses might end up being lifeless, so they need to apply the right amount of pressure and have a smooth kissing process.

When you start kissing someone, try to keep your tongue out and concentrate on various ways and to kiss by just using one‘s lips. Focus on techniques and skills that you enjoy. And remember, kissing is supposed to be fun so make it like a task to be ticked off a list.

Different types of intimate lip- to- lip kisses

American Kiss

A bit more than pecking the American kiss is deeper kissing and involves opening your lips to one another. The American kiss does not involve the use of the tongue.  

The Lingering Kiss

A lingering kiss is a type that feels like it will last forever. It involves a lot of lip-to-lip kissing for long periods of time and is intense and passionate and often laced with emotions of new love.

French Kiss

The French Kiss involves a passionate play of lips and tongues. It is filled with intimacy, passion, romance and allows your tongue to take over your emotions.

Single Lip Kiss

When you suck and sandwich your partner’s lip between yours at the same time, it gives them a chance to reciprocate and know that you are very into them. It also can hint at power play by allowing one partner to show their dominance over another.

Butterfly Kiss

This is when two people kiss so closely that their eyelashes connect and touch each others’. Often meant for the emotional kinds, this depicts a lot of love and infatuation.

Lizard Kiss

Wet slurpy kisses with a lot of tongue play in and out of the mouth in quick strokes are called lizard kisses. These kinds of kisses are passionate and hot and can end with lovemaking.

Seductive Kiss

This is between an American Kiss and the French Kiss with less tongue play but when the lips are a bit enough to make the partner go weak in their knees.

Bite and Nibble Kiss

Subtle bites and nibbles are deeply erotic. A lot of tongue sucking that ends with a gentle bite on the lower lip can be rather erotic and seductive and is great for couples who are into the power play.

No one can really tell you how to kiss or what technique to follow when and with whom. it is all about trusting your instincts. You can never be a one-type kisser for all these kisses are worth trying at some point. The key is to let the time, situation, circumstances, and emotions help you decide how you want the kisses to flow. You can start with the American and move on to the French and then go with the flow watching how your partner reciprocates.

Man Arrested For Flashing At Bengaluru Based Writer!

“Is flashing an offence in India?”, asks Nupur Saraswat, a Bengaluru based writer who came out for help on Instagram yesterday.

“I’ve lived in this house for over one month now. And I’ve never seen this man before. His distance/ view of my terrace is in the forth slide. He waited there for hours looking at me, which made me uneasy but not to the extent that I needed to ask him to fuck off. Then at a point when he knew I was looking, he pulled his pants down and held his penis at me. Smiling that FUCKING smile.

He is two, TWO buildings away from me. I live alone in the terrace house. I have informed my landlords. The next step is to figure out a way to get legal help. Is flashing an offence in India? Is there a helpline I can call? And how do I make sure that something happens and I am not left in a position where this person a) knows I have reported him, and b) is scot-free.

The last picture is of me, before this. Before I realized that I was about to feel very very threatened in a house, I have come to love. Before I would be shaking in anger and embarrassment (????) and second-guessing if it is my solitude that provoked him or my outfit, I could SCREAM right now, but I want to channel my anger in a tactical way. So if YOU can help me, please DM me,” posted the woman on Instagram.

So what happened next? Tons of people shared their gyaan on whether flashing is really an offence. What should a woman do if some bottlehead cannot keep his organs inside his pants?

Nupur said that people very kind enough to help her via different mediums — different NGOs, helplines including NCW & 1091, and social media accounts were suggested to her — but also a lot of them told her that it is OKAY and such cases often happens with women and that she must forget about this and move on.

But Nupur believes that this is what gives those men courage to do it more often, as they think that women are mostly afraid; and some of them even take their chuppi as a form of consent and keeps on doing more traumatic nuisance than this.

Nupur knew that this needed to be stopped. She knew that this needs some repercussions if not a legal action. She reached out to every possible helpline number of Karnataka & India, but she found that most of these numbers weren’t really helpful. “They were either out of service or not reachable. I wonder how can they still exist on Google and what would someone do if she really needs help! This is so terrifying,” she told Infano.

Nevertheless, she was determined to teach that man a lesson, and she wanted that to be quick as she wasn’t sure if he lived in that area or was just a visitor. Moreover, that one incident didn’t let her sleep whole night, and the trauma and possibility of something similar happening again was scaring her more.

After consulting with her friends, she dialled 100 which redirected her to the Koramangala Police Station and further to the Viveknagar Police Station as for the former one it was out of the jurisdiction area. 

The very next day of this incident, the 4th block of Koramangala witnessed eight cops and four police vans in the area. The officers took no time in guarding out the man, and they took him to the police station to do the needful.

When asked about this, Nupur said that there was no female officer with the team, but the male officers did ask her if she wanted to take another cab/ auto. She was introduced to the lady officer on reaching the station, and she was asked whether she wanted to do press charges against the man or not. She highly recommends other women to call a lady officer while calling the police no matter what.

“I will say this, as a 5’2 woman surrounded by 4 cop cars and 8 male officers and the entirety of the neighbourhood looking at me for “what’s going on”— I don’t wish it on anyone. But i am glad I went thru it because only after it all I found out the predator had been flashing and harassing a 15-year-old in the neighbourhood too. I felt so must safer and reassured by the professional badassery of Inspector Jahida of Viveknagar station, who arrested the wee man and promised me corrective recourse and took my complaint with kindness. When this stranger tried to turn the narrative by saying I am his ex, she believed in me instead. Thanks, @blrcitypolice for getting this done before breakfast ✊🏽,” she concluded in her latest Instagram post.

Soon after this, her Instagram DM was filled with queries/ advice for similar cases, several women shared their personal experience with her, and a lot of people applauded her for this bold step.

Nupur says a part of her was unable to accept if it really happened with her — we hear so many about so many cases, but it does scare us every time we hear it from someone we know!

Though a lot of people told her that this was a normal incident, she knew it wasn’t — and no matter how hard you try not to think about, it won’t go away she says. It will scare you every time you step out, every time a man gives you a creepy look and every time you think of travelling alone. 

Infano reached out to Nupur to listen to her horrific experience and we really appreciate her decision. #InfanoWomen
