There's no denying kissing is important in love and sex, especially since it’s usually your first initial physical contact with a new partner. It's also why a bad kiss can end things before they even start.
In fact, a 2012 survey by the State University of New York at Albany found that the majority of people will straight up end a relationship because of a bad kiss, with 59% of men and 66% of women bidding adieu to someone who didn't kiss well. A 2013 study from Oxford University also suggested kissing is a way for us to size up potential partners, as well as a way to keep long-term relationships together.
Of course, bad kissing is subjective. While you may not like to have your teeth licked during a make-out session, I’m sure someone out there does, and if that makes them happy and turns them on, then good for them! I once had a guy suck on my chin, and although I thought it was horrifying, I believe he’s out there right now sucking on someone else’s chin and they’re loving it.
The effect a great kiss has is like a drug, due to a neurotransmitter called dopamine that's released, causing you to crave more. It's why we lust after people who are great kissers, and forget the ones who aren't. But no worries, you guys; anyone can be a better kisser, and here are 21 tips to prove my point.
