Hey Icequeen,

You can kiss and will kiss but I wonder if theres something going on beneath the surface? Forgive me for asking but I know because i was in a similar position with stuff from my past. PM me if you wish, your not on your own.

Here are some links that might help you, the first one has pictures....it really isn't all that complicated, really, and everyone is a little different, just kind of follow his lead.

I remember my first kiss many many years ago and looking back I could tell neither one of us really knew what we were doing, and I was so nervous I was literally shaking....so I know how you feel kind of....but trust me, you will be missing out on some pleasurable signs of affection if you don't let a guy you really like kiss you at some point...Just close your eyes and follow the steps.

Good luck, you sure got a lot of response to your question!

damluvaam agony auntWell, I'm glad you feel like you can talk to me...Actually I really do get what you're saying about the tongue roaming around bit. That, um...can be a little "eh??"...and sometimes it can be just gross. The tongue thing is, in my personal kissing view, it's a "feature" of the kiss..NOT the point to the kiss. So, to hang out in someone's mouth like that,...yeah, I get what you're saying.

I also think it's kind of significant that the girl criticized your kissing then TOLD people your personal business...THAT'S not cool! And it probably helped you to sort of "brand" yourself as a bad kisser.

You know what? If the thought of kissing someone is giving you stomach pains and you feel like crying and all that...just know that you DONT have to do this. You dont have to do anything you dont feel comfortable doing with regard to anything physical like this... What's the rush?

damluvaam agony auntWell...Poor thing, you're putting a whole LOT of concern into something that is really very enjoyable and you're going to worry yourself into a state about it. I'm thinking that you're going to find out - just like the rest of us have - that you worried for nothing and, in fact, HAAAY! you really LIKED THAT! NOBODY knows if their kissing "technique" is "right". No one. We just kiss and the intensity matches the situation. I kiss my Italian grandmother on the cheek and I better make it "meaningful", as she says. I kiss my goddaughter and love, concern, security and trust are what I'm trying to communicate. I kiss my sisters...we're family. I kiss my wife, on the other hand...and those big explosions of light and color you THINK is for bringing in the New Year...nope...I did that!

Dont you worry about this - not this much, anyway. Kissing is NOT anything to cringe about or feel embarrassed about, so long, as other posters have said, YOU are kissing who you want to kiss. You dont want to kiss someone...dont, but dont fret over this and think that after you do kiss him or whomever, people are going to pop up out of now where and applaud or boo you! LOL

You got lips? You CAN kiss. You just havent yet. It'll be alright.

Good luck

damluvaam agony auntBut why does it make you cringe, though? What goes on in your mind about it?

Is it just the romantic kiss that bothers you or is it ALL kissing? A kiss can communicate SO many things SO much better than words...

icequeen18 agony auntto the anonymus reader i dont understand how a kiss can connect people.

same with sex when ive had it its been anything but that

i really dont think i could feel connected to some1 by kissing and sex two things i dread and hate

iam sorry i dont think i could ever feel like that because kissing makes me cringe so much when i see people kissing it makes me so uncomftable its just horrible why do i have to do it just to be connected

n show him how i feel and what not i hate it all!

thanks tho

A female reader, Starlights United Kingdom + , writes (20 August 2009):

Starlights agony auntI feel your not ready to kiss anyone yet.

You dont feel comfortable about kissing someone and if you dont want to, then dont!

There's nothing strange in it.

However your first kiss will happen naturally when you want it to, at some point.

But maybe now isnt the time.

Dont stress about it, and explain to your bf not to push you into kissing him as your not comfortable about it,

if he doesnt understand or respect your view he isnt worth it!

(just a note, my first kiss was when i was 21, not because I didnt have any offers of it,

but because I didnt want too kiss anyone until I was ready. -and it turned out to be a good kiss! )

Good luck!

icequeen18 agony auntchanny 2009 no i havent even given him a normal peck nothing at all hes kissed me on the lips but i dont retaliate i try 2 pull away from him as much as possible it makes me cringe i feel horrible emmbarssed and stupid and nervous.

i just cant it upsets me because thers no point in me trying to be in a relationship with anybody because its just going to be the same hurt n pain of having to leave them with this man hes everything ive been looking for he cares about me n respects me and all that but i put up walls iam horrible and mean sometimes and iam not comftable with myself

or with kissing and sex..i dread kissing more than sex i dread foreplay i will not do it i cant! i wish i didnt have too! and if i do kiss him which i doubt i will afterwards when he looks at me il think all sorts and il feel horrible and il make assumptions about what hes thinking.

A reader, anonymous, writes (20 August 2009):

Your entitled to leave it but, let me try and describe what you might be missing forget about the physical side of how to do it.

Id been with my GF for 5 years, One night she turned over and said she was going to sleep( we always kissed goodnight) she lay in my arms and I kissed her and I can not tell you what I was physically doing but I do know at that point I felt as connected to her as I have ever been connected to anybody on an emotional spiritual and physical level. The kiss lasted minutes and at the end there was absolutley no need of words. I could see in her eyes that she felt the same.

Thats what a kiss can be. I have only ever had one kiss like that in y life buts its worth every single bad kiss for one of those. If you have problems with relationships thats fine, many of us do but definitely dont knock kissing till you try it.

A female reader, Susan Strict United Kingdom +, writes (20 August 2009):

Susan Strict agony auntWhy "stupid"? Because you've never kissed and "don't know how to kiss"? Or because you don't like the idea of kissing?

If it's the first, don't worry about it. Let him press his lips against yours and just do what comes naturally. Don't believe what you hear about "good kissing" - it's ALWAYS good with someone you really like, and if it's not - if you and he don't get the "buzz" from it - then he's not the man for you! It honestly makes no difference to the enjoyment whether or not you're "good at it" or experienced at it. There's no such thing as "doing it wrong".

If it's the second, and you really don't WANT to kiss, then all I can suggest is try it. It's not going to hurt you.

Either way, there no "humiliation and embarrassment" - not unless he's a complete ****hole (that's "***hole" for anyone in the USA reading this), in which case the sooner you walk away from him the better.

have you kissed him, you know just a normal peck? Id say just take your time. Explain the situatiuon to him. If your that serious and he really does like you then he'll understand and you can get through it together. If he laughs and gives a horrible reaction then he isnt worth it anyway.

A reader, anonymous, writes (20 August 2009):

Look everybodies first kiss is a wee bit strange.

However if you never ever try it you will never know how good it can be. If he is experienced then let him kiss you, he will not say anything like oh your really bad because in my opinion girls are always good kissers, take it slowly, imagine you are just touching your lips againt his, then purse your lips and repeat, it doent have to involve tounges at all.

I do wonder though why are you so afraid of being bad at something that you have never tried? I was 19 before I had my first kiss so dont feel bad.

As a general rule any guyy who will ever say to to you that you arent good at kissing, sex whatever isnt particularly good at it themselves, because it takes two to make thos things great. I wish you the best with it.

honeysoul agony auntwell i believe kissing should come naturally, you can not rate you kissing unless you have done it. so go ahead and smooch your guy you really like him it won't hurt just to see what a little...... or a lot of kissing can do for your relationship.
