15 Types of Kisses and What They Actually Mean

Types of Kisses

Is there a better way to say "I love you" than a kiss? You'll be hard put to find a universal display of affection than locking lips, as it occurs in every civilization from the natives of the Amazon rainforest to the mainstream of Western culture. Kissing is an art form, and each kiss expresses something a little different than the last. Let's dissect 15 kiss types and their meanings to better practice this art form on our partners.

A Peck on the Cheek

Star Wars

A peck on the cheek is often a simple "hello." In many European cultures, it's nearly akin to a handshake. There's no deeper meaning…unless both of you want there to be.

Forehead Kiss

Game of Thrones

You may want to express that you like someone but are simply too shy to make a more intimate move (i.e., a liplock). Kissing someone on the forehead will show you care enough to want a physical connection with the person in question.

The "Muah!" Kiss

The Simpsons

"Muaaaahhhh!" Like a mating call, an air kiss is a demonstration of your affection for someone. You're presenting your lips for that person and signaling you want a liplock. If they don't smile at this display, they're probably not on the same page.

A Kiss On The Hand

Frida Kahlo

"Aw, mademoiselle, how lovely to meet you!" This kiss happens more often at a guy's initiative. A kiss on the hand demonstrates respect and admiration. Simply grasp the hand of the person you admire and kiss the top of the palm. Any woman will likely find this chivalrous and charming…that is if she finds you chivalrous and charming.

Butterfly Kiss

A Kiss

At the beginning of a relationship, you may start off with flirty kisses. They are playful and light, like butterflies. When you kiss someone lightly on the lips but are close enough to flutter their eyelashes with yours, you're engaging in a butterfly kiss. The butterfly kiss is not seriously intimate; it's a way to say, "I like you."

Single-lip Lock

Megan Fox kiss

Now, for some lip-locking action. The single-lip lock is where you really kiss. You suck on the bottom lip of your kissing partner between both of yours, indicating you're ready for more intimacy.

Angel Kiss

nose kiss

Let's get down to business. Angel kisses are more than a simple peck on the cheek or lips. They're when you softly and gently kiss someone's face in other areas, like their eyelids or their nose, suggesting you want more and more of them.

Earlobe Kiss

ear kiss

And so you'll have more with the earlobe kiss. This romantic kiss takes place at the ear (obviously) and involves a lot of tongue and tugging action. The earlobe kiss increases passion, as the ear is one of those super-sensitive erogenous zones.

Time-stopping Kiss

gone with the wind

Returning to the lips, your make-out session should now stop time. A time-stopping kiss is a lip-on-lip number that puts you in a zone of space where time no longer exists.

French Kiss

Black and white kiss

No list of kisses would be complete without the French kiss. Master Frenching and you'll definitely please your kissing partner. This erotic kiss involves knowing how to use your tongue and turns the heat up on your relationship ten-fold.

Kiss of the Lizard

Another intimate kiss with a lot of tongue action, the kiss of the lizard, is when your tongue slides quickly in and out of your partner's mouth. It's like playing tongue hockey, and if your partner likes to play, they'll love this kiss.

Open-mouth Bite

bite

This is a French kiss with a little bite. You may open-mouth bite your partner's lips, cheeks, chin, forehead, or other facial regions. And then move onto the next…

Necking

Kissing neck

Planting your lips on the neck of your partner is a whole other level of intimacy. Kissing, licking, and sucking this erogenous zone adds more and more eroticism to the mix.

The Tease

Passion

When you're both ready to move your repertoire forward, the tease is one way to go. The tease involves kissing from the top of your partner's forehead down to their lips, chin, neck, chest…and further. The tease signals you're way more than friends now.

Secret Signal Kiss

A Kiss

Lastly, one of the best kisses between partners is the secret message kiss. This is an agreed-upon signal between you and your loved one, informing them that you're ready if they are!

Kinds of Kisses with Some Special Meaning

As in different countries, there is a line of what is permissible, so there is a thin thread between people - attachment when lovers want to get to know each other "better." In the cult of modernity, a variety of types of kissing on the lips are studied, from rubbing with the noses' tips to passionate kissing with the tongue's penetration to the glands. You can exaggerate as much as you like, but learning kissing techniques requires many days of practice, a brave partner, and desire on both sides.

More About Common Kinds of Kiss

The most common kisses are on the cheek, corners of the lips, "smack" without deepening, on the forehead, nose, and other parts of the face. They mean "friendship," which will surely grow into something more, unless, of course, the couple is really a friendly union. Step over the flirting stage and rise one step higher - a kiss on the neck or collarbone. True, for this, you need to create an atmosphere. More often, it is formed as a result of a more or less strong relationship. This is followed by "love" kisses, and this is what each means:

A kiss of closed eyes means "I want to get to know you better." The couple is already dating, and there is sympathy between young people. And here he is, the first limited rapprochement occurs, after which all kisses become simple and ordinary. Candid and passionate options follow them.

Kiss with a touch - a man takes a girl by the face, approaches, and bends over her. Can hug, hug him. So it is all "nice to be with you"; when you want always to be there, to serve as support and support. There is no hint of sex or passion here. Intimacy may have already been or should take place.

Adult men experience similar feelings and the urge to touch (to the face or neck). The young, for sure, many noticed that they do not know how to do this: they grab the girl by the neck, pull her towards them and dig their teeth into the gums, beating off the last vertebrae with squeezed fingers. Well, what kind of romance is there ...

He has the right not to participate in the bouquet period, but the woman will definitely remain thinking about him. Young girls often "fly in the clouds" after such an experienced gesture of truth. Either the man takes responsibility for the act, or it means "I like you, I would have dragged you into bed." Interestingly, with the French kiss, the thyroid gland is activated in women, which is responsible for loading the emotional background. Failure leads to falling in love and then - to excitement and readiness to part with immunity in the area of the heaven gates.

Interesting Facts About Kissing

Types of Kisses

Almost all kissing types on the lips are accompanied by the release of hormones of passion and happiness. But this is not the most interesting discovery. There are several facts in the world that scientists have cited to prove that the exchange of microbes, according to philemophobes, is not at all a reason to deny yourself the benefits of a pleasant activity. The current partners also manage to combine two things at once, who is above all the meanness that defiles the significance of such an event between people.

  • The longest kiss lasted 58 hours, 35 minutes, and 58 seconds between the Tiranarats. This is a Guinness World Record.
  • The French kiss is a method of exchanging 80+ million bacteria. According to Microbiome magazine, couples who kiss more than ten times every day are destined for healthy relationships. They have the same types of bacteria. So one can argue how harmful or useful it is to engage in such "hooliganism."
  • In the book by William Kane, "The Art of Kissing," statistics are given: 54% of women love clean-shaven men. 33% are ready to kiss with their lover's stubble, while the rest decided to give up such activity to preserve their skin's smoothness. Yes, it is not very pleasant to feel a burning sensation after passing through an abrasive brush.
  • John Boannon has proven that people remember their first kiss better than sex. The survey was conducted among 500 people. The results surprised everyone.
  • 2/3 of people tilt their head to the right. In childhood, adolescents were often interested in tying her so that her nose did not interfere. And neuropsychologist Onur Gynturkun, observing people for 16 years, came to this conclusion based on his research. It will probably take another 15 years to understand why.

Also, the couples decided to diversify some types of kissing on the lips to bring exotic to their relationship. And that's what came of it.

A Variety of Most Flickering Kisses

To enhance the effect of passion, couples imitate a "surging wave" of kissing - an unexpected, sensual rush of desire to cling to the lips of a partner. Often portends spontaneous sex or foreplay, which also leads to bed.

There is a wet kiss - not because a lot of salivae is secreted, like a brutal predator, but because the lips of partners are slightly moistened with water or a drink. Slowly and surely, you can insert your tongue into your mouth so that it does not seem "unexpectedly slobbering." There is also a "kiss of the Snow Queen" when a girl kisses her partner who has drunk a hot drink with cold lips. He and she feel the heat (from the cold too) each other, which increases the feeling of ardor.

Sometimes married couples resort to role-playing games, kissing each other with sugar lips. You can run a piece of chocolate over them, sprinkle with sugar, or add dessert. The result is a sweet and tasty fusion, and you can refresh yourself in a culinary game.

But the rain of kisses is not the kissing of all parts of the partner's body, but the shaky "eating" of the face with the lips. He was bored as if he had never eaten. I have not seen a woman for a long time and immediately bombards her with a flurry of gratitude. She also kisses her child's mother, whom she lost in the crowd and found, reassured that he is alive and well.

There is an aggressive kiss when the lips capture a part of the ear, lower lip, or eyebrow. The main thing is not to bite so that later you do not have to apply ice to the swollen place where passion is indicated. If everything is done correctly, the man will get excited and get down to business. To cool his ardor will help the kiss of "Eskimos" when partners rub their noses. A ridiculous scratching will cause laughter and joy, so you need to find the moments for such intimate touch carefully. So, by the way, Kate Middleton did when she met the capital guests in her kingdom. Probably no need to say where the comrades came from...
