That first kiss is a cupcake-shaped grenade that explodes into springtime rain. As a man, it’s more important than the best seats in the stadium, that huge job promotion, or the first time your father calls you for advice. It is a prelude to all the best things in life: waking up to an empty […]
I have never met a woman who thought she was bad in bed. I have known plenty of women who can rattle off an impromptu, critical dissertation on the carnal failings of most men. “He didn’t get me off.” “He treated my nipples like Xbox control sticks.” “He came before his pants were off.” No, […]
Good morning! Thanks to my friend Cooper, who linked to this fascinating gem of a GIF on Twitter. This is what a kiss looks like from the perspective of one of the tongues doing the spit-swatting. Sexual. [imgur] Original by Amelia McDonell-Parry
Women’s magazines (and probably Snapple Facts) have been touting it for years, but there’s real science behind it: kissing is good for your health. You already know the obvious reasons it makes your life better, but as it turns out, it makes your body a lot better too. Kissing deserves more appreciation in its own right […]
While there’s no one specific way to kiss someone “the right way,” a lot of us could still totally benefit from learning how to kiss someone better. If you’ve ever kissed someone and had them bite your tongue, or use too much tongue or what have you, you know I’m right about this. But even if […]

Apparently, some people find the idea of a parent kissing his or her son or daughter on the lips deranged […]
It’d been a nice night with mixed drinks and homey Brooklyn fare. The conversation hadn’t teetered, except in those first moments when we were testing the waters. Dipping our feet. Then she said, “I find it funny that people feel uncomfortable in silence.” I didn’t say anything. She smiled. We felt comfortable. After dinner, I […]
My sister introduced me to the guy I’ve been dating for some months now. Our relationship could be summarized in two simple statements: When I first saw him, my heart skipped a beat. When he stuffed his tongue in my mouth, my eye twitched. No, nothing was in my eye. The twitch was triggered by pretty […]
I am an aficionado of the kiss. No other act is so simple and so intimate. The light suction, the flick of the lip, the playful nibble, the deep advance and retreat of the tongue—a good kiss is like jazz, an improvisation of melodies, flirtatious staccatos, and passionate brassy crescendos. A good kiss is a […]
