I have heard that it is very good way to practice kissing. My younger sister, about your age, does the same thing and sometimes with her mirror. It's very strange to walk in and see her kissing her mirror though I must admit.

David Lewis agony auntWhen I first started to learn to kiss, I used to kiss my hand. I was bad though and eventually received a slap.

I decided it was time to move on to the real thing.

P.S I have received a few slaps since too, lol

of course it's normal, dont worry about it. I used to do the same thing and (I've been told) I'm a fantastic kisser so I think maybe it does make you better.

Who wants to be normal?

I used to "french" kiss my pillow. Until I realized that I wasn't frenching but just smooshing my nose into it. I found french kissing was with open mouth and tongue.

I gave that up in a hurry and found a boy to kiss when I was in grade 7. Still talk to the guy.

It's harmless.

But if you start humping the pillow, just make sure you use protection to avoid an unwanted pregnancy.

Irish49 agony auntYour posting is refreshingly innocent, dear and it truely made me smile. I think most of us have done that "kissing the hand" bit at one time or other in our formative, teen years. I agree with everyone else, it's very normal. Not sure if it will make you a better kisser. Like DrPete says, kissing will just come naturally to you when you kiss the right person, someday. Take care, dear

Dr Pete agony auntI seem to remember kissing my hand when I was around your age so it must be completely and entirely normal behaviour.

Kissing your hand probably won't make you a good kisser - kissing comes naturally when you do it for real and it is different with each individual. Kissing can be very intimate and special, and I think around 6,489 times better than doing it on your hand.

David Lewis agony auntThe best way to learn to kiss is to kiss, funnily enough.

When somebody does kiss you, try to follow their lead, like in a dance, do what they do. Move mouth slowly and gently, rather than rapid movements and dont tense. Stay as relaxed as possible, then go with the flow.

Kissing hand can help with technique, but cannot help you learn to kiss.

Hey don't worry we have all done it,i done it when i was your age.I don't think that kissing your hand will make you a better kisser because believe me it is so much different when it happens.

bonym agony auntNo there is absolutely nothing wrong with you at all. But as Yos correctly said the only way to be good at something is to actually do it. For example a pianist can only become as good as Beethoven if not better if he practices as often as possible. The more you practice the better you become. Becoming a "better" kisser also is a question of individual preferences. I am not sure what makes a "great" kisser but at the end of the day, a kiss is just a kiss. xXx

Yos agony auntIt's very normal! Lots of people have done it, though most won't admit to it. People practice kissing all sorts of things (I don't recommend a cactus btw).

As for whether it will make you a better kisser? No, not really :( The only way to get good at kissing is to kiss someone. You can expect to be very nervous the first few times you do kiss... which makes it very difficult! However you get used to it quickly and then it gets much easier.

I should add that movies and TV showing kissing are not much help either. People in the real world kiss rather differently than people in movies. They always seem to miss out the bit where someone has spinach stuck between their teeth, and then the other person sneezes!
