Make sure both people want to kiss
Start slowly and gently
Keep your lips relaxed
Tilt your head slightly to avoid bumping noses
Close your eyes if that feels natural
Begin with a light, brief kiss
Match the other person’s pace and pressure
Use soft, minimal movement at first
Pay attention to their response
Keep your breath fresh
Use your hands comfortably and respectfully
Avoid too much tongue unless both people clearly want that
Pause occasionally to check comfort and connection
Stop if the other person seems uncomfortable
Be present and attentive rather than rushed
