K.I.S.S.I.N.G.

Kissing. I like it. It is easily one of my favorite forms of expression...kissing can be playful, serious, suggestive, sexy, romantic, passionate, telling, fun, and a turn-on. This is good kissing. Bad kissing on the other hand can be awkward, disappointing, sloppy, also telling, lazy and ultimately a turn-off. Now, its not like I go around kissing everyone (I would like to at Marc Jacobs), but I have had my share of kissing, and I have to tell you, there is nothing worse than a bad kisser.

Case and point Sex and the City season 3ish where Charlotte dates the "perfect guy", except for one thing, he is a bad kisser...he saturated, and as she recalls it, "raped her mouth" she was unable to continue seeing him. Rashes will do that.

Now, why is kissing on my mind? Well, recently I started seeing Danny who I have been kissing...just kissing. And its good kissing, but new kissing. Here I thought I had had every kind of kiss possible...not at all my friends.

In my kissing history I have had a few different types of kissers. No judgement, this has been a purely anthropological kissing effort.
-It seems that the majority of men in their 20s are very good kissers. They evenly and gently kiss with tongue intermittently and not forcibly.
-The rest of those guys (possibly the nerdier ones--just an assumption), overuse the tongue and don't come up for air. Ew, I need to breathe. Very sloppy.
-Eastern EU's. Yep, with my limited experience, watch out for these guys...(or don't). Their accents are at least hot, and this may be why their tongues are so sharp. These guys are darty and fast, it reminds me of the jack-hammering form of kissing, and if tongues could bruise, they would.
-Older men...I'm talking late forties and up. Again, with what I assure you to be limited experience, I consider these guys to be similar to nerdy 20-somethings but not nearly as groping, they are wet with too much tongue kissers. Its like their prudish (x)wives never allow(ed) any tongue and therefore they need to make up for lost time. Stay away from these guys, money can't buy you good kissing.
-And last, the new species, 30-somethings. Not to divulge too much, but Danny is a no-tongue kisser. Like none. I almost feel perverted when my tongue makes contact (sorry TMI). These 30 somethings may not do a lot of tongue, but their kissing is not solely concentrated to the mouth...hello, I'm talking about the neck! As I said, my late night man is a bit of an Edward :).
