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.

Gangubai Kathiawadi is a biographical crime film which will be Alia Bhatt’s first project with Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The film is based on the real-life of a famous brothel owner and matriarch mafia queen “Gangubai”.

While the most awaited Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film Gangubai Kathiawadi’s teaser has been making rounds on social media, it has also created anxiety among the fans about the real story behind Gangubai Kathiawadi.

Who is Gangubai?

The real name of Gangubai was Ganga Harjivandas Kathiawadi. Born into a prestigious family of lawyers and teachers in Kathiawar in Gujarat, in 1939, she aspired to become an actress in childhood.

She fell in love with her father’s accountant, Ramnik Laal at the age of 16 and left her family for her husband. She fled to Mumbai with the hope of starting a new life with her husband, but her life turned upside down when she was deceived and sold to a brothel by him for Rs. 500. She had no choice but to embrace the ways of destiny and swing it in her favor.

The Sister of Don

She started as a sex worker in Kamathipura. Being violently abused by a member of mafia don Karim Lala, she sought her revenge by reporting to Karim Lala and demanded justice for her. She eventually became the sister of Karim Lala by tying him a rakhi and securing her safety.

She soon became one of the most well-paid commercial sex workers and was the most feared and respected sex worker in Kamathipura, Mumbai.

Madam of Kamathipura

She began to develop strong ties with the Mumbai underworld under the influence of the don, Karim Lala, and came to be known as the “Madam of Kamathipura” for being an influential pimp in the city with connections with criminals, peddling drugs, and murders.

At a young age, she won the local gharwali elections held to determine ranks among the sex workers of Kamathipura and called herself “Gangubai Kathewali”, a corruption of the word kothewali. The steps taken by Gangubai for the improvement of the sex workers community made her ‘The queen of Kamathipura.’

She was the only brothel owner to own a black Bentley during those times.

An Advocate of Sex Workers Rights

Gangubai Kathiawadi is a truly empowered woman and fought for the recognition of sex workers. Gangubai, herself being a victim of the prostitution trade, was known to be compassionate towards other women and used her influence for the empowerment of sex workers and advocated for their rights.

Despite being a brothel owner, she cared for sex workers like a mother. She was an ardent supporter of her fellow females in the business and never forced any girl into prostitution without their consent.

“Gangubai was known as the only brothel madam who gave importance to women but not business or money.”

She maintained and operated many brothels in the red-light district of the city and earned the title President of Kamathipura. She was the first woman to open a franchise of brothels and different cities of the country.

She even approached Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru to discuss the difficulties encountered by sex workers in India.

Even today, the statue of Gangubai is set up in Kamathipura and her pictures still can be seen on the walls of Kamathipura.

With Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgan starring in the lead roles, the film is ready to hit the theatres on 30 July 2021.
