Someone can be surrounded comfortingly by someone’s arms, or terrifyingly trapped by them. I’d only mention noses if a kiss is supposed to be awkward or uncertain or nervous.īodies - bodies are either close together, or far away. They easily get in the way, especially for first kisses! People have to tilt their head to one side or the other, and if they don’t, noses bump. Where are they? Does one character have on on the back of the other’s head or back, holding them close? Are they on someone’s shoulders pulling them near, or pushing them away? Fingers brushing someone’s cheek or palms grabbing someone’s ass convey two very different kinds of situations, even if the kiss itself is exactly the same. In order to describe a kiss, usually you want to also describe the hands. And a kiss on the lips can be all of those! <3

Kisses on noses or foreheads are cute and adorable, kisses on cheeks are sweet, kisses on chins, ears, and throats are very sexual. Kisses can leave lips, quite easily, and become kisses on chins, cheeks, noses, foreheads, ears, necks, throats. Noses bump, cheeks flush, ears turn red, foreheads either wrinkle or relax. Have them do whatever you like, but don’t leave them out- give them at least a mention!įaces- Faces are what the lips are attached to. Eyes can gaze lovingly, lustfully, wistfully, hungrily, seductively- it all depends upon the emotions of your characters. A person biting gently is sensual, a person biting roughly is sexual.Įyes - Eyes can be wide open with surprise, half-lidded with desire, fully closed with pleasure. A person biting their own lip is cute, a person biting another’s lips is sexy. Teeth- teeth can clack together awkwardly, or teeth can bite down sensually. It’s only sexy when you like the person you’re kissing, or else it’s kinda gross. When tongues are involved, there is drool. They can be smooth and graceful or teasing and flicking. They can trace over lips, teeth, or another tongue. Tongue - Tongues are always wet, and always warm. Lips also can smack- the sound of two of them coming together or pulling apart, because they’re wet and warm and soft. If there is lipstick or chapstick there is lipstick or chapstick flavor, otherwise, lips don’t have a taste (can you taste yours?). They can match, top-to-top and bottom-to-bottom, or they can overlap, with one person’s top or bottom lip captured between the other person’s lips (yummy). Lips- Lips can slide, glide over each other smoothly, or they can be chapped and rough and dry and get stuck on each other. The most important part of a kiss isn’t the how, but the who- because of the emotions between the two people.

A kiss without emotion is just wet mushy lips stuck together. It is lips, but also tongues, teeth, eyes, faces, hands, noses, bodies, heartbeats, breath, voice- and most importantly, a kiss is emotions. Okay, first, remember that kiss is much, much more than just lips. Rebloggable version, as requested by davrosbro.
