My first kiss was terrible: I was 16 years old — a late bloomer. I had crushed on a friend for most of the school year, so when he finally made his move I didn’t want to ruin the moment with my inexperience. How do I move my tongue? I thought. Unlike many of my peers, I hadn’t practiced on a girl or on my own hand. What if I suck? I panicked.
Before I could finalize a kissing strategy, my crush leaned in. I closed my eyes, opened my mouth, and went with the flow — until it felt like a torpedo had landed in my mouth. His tongue went full-speed ahead, and I swore off kissing him for good.
My next kissing experiences were an improvement. Still, from time to time there comes a guy that attacks my tongue in the same manner. I know you can all relate as we have all locked lips with a crappy kisser.
Here are some other things men do to turn us off with just one kiss:
1. Talking While Kissing
You’re on the sofa making out with a hot papi and he begins to whisper sweet nothings in your ear. That’s nice, you think.
But then he won’t stop. He yaps like a teenage girl who’s looking for reassurance after a first date. Every time he nibbles on your lower lip, he asks, “do you like that?” He plants another smooch and keeps mumbling. Shut up, hombre! Just kiss me!
What a buzz kill.
