- In celebration, romantic social network Zoosk.com releases Canadian Kissing Report -
TORONTO, July 4, 2012 /CNW/ - Canadians would appreciate a little more
"lip service." Nine-in-ten say they wish their partner would take the
initiative to kiss more, according to the Canadian Kissing Report
compiled by romantic social network Zoosk.com, which surveyed 13,000
members around the world - including those who are in a relationship,
as well as singles. The report, released in celebration of
International Kissing Day, this Friday, July 6th, shines light on kissing in Canadian culture and reveals Canadians'
favourite types of kisses and their biggest kissing turn-offs.
"Kissing is that initial indicator that shows how much chemistry you
have for one another," says Shannon Tebb a dating and relationship
expert, matchmaker and certified life coach. "Great kissing chemistry
often leads to passionate physical intimacy, which is a key component
for a healthy romantic relationship. The beauty of kissing is that one
can show affection for the other without saying a word."
To help Canadians get in the spirit of the holiday, Tebb gives her top
kissing tips.
Kissing Tips:
-
A kiss is more easily reciprocated if your partner is aware that you are
coming and you don't catch them off guard. A surprise attack may work
in movies, but actors have scripts! In real life, it's best to move in
slowly.
-
Kissing should be soft and gentle, tilt your head slightly to avoid
bumping noses and close your eyes.
-
Start the kiss off slowly, and then build up to a faster pace if
desired.
-
Always have fresh breath, so keep gum, breath strips or mints handy.
-
Moisten your lips regularly so they are nice and kissable. But ladies -
don't kiss too soon after applying lip gloss or lip stick.
-
Use your hands and arms to caress your partner's face or hair while
kissing or to embrace. It can be very sensual to touch or to be touched
while kissing someone.
