You should also soften your lips with lip balm (not sticky, thick lip gloss!) before kissing.

You can run your fingers through your partner’s hair from front to back, all the way down to their neck if they have short hair. You can also tuck a stray strand of hair behind their ear.

Taking a break from kissing is entirely acceptable, and it may even assist you in getting back into the kissing mindset. If you’re exhausted but don’t want to stop kissing yet, just take a breather, slow down your kissing pace, or don’t be ashamed to ask for a glass of water.
