Ingrid Bergman once said, "A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous."
What a beautiful quote, no? But whether you agree with it or not, you can't deny that kisses have something magical about them.
After all, putting two pairs of lips together sounds like such a simple action. But when it happens with the right person, there's that feeling that's not quite explainable to someone who's never been kissed.
Oh, I'm sure a scientist could tell me some mumbo-jumbo about pleasure and neural impulses. But listening to an explanation of a kiss and actually kissing are two very different things.
Yes, sometimes kisses can be magical. Sometimes, there are sparks and excitement and electricity. But sometimes, kisses are horrible, to the point that I know many women who will refuse to go out with a great guy because he's a bad kisser.
Sometimes, the kiss is bad due to lack of experience. There are as many horrid first kiss stories as there are sweet ones. Sometimes, one party or another is just a little too under the influence. I've heard multiple tales where one partner threw up in the other's mouth. (Um, ew!! I don't think any amount of mouthwash could cure that one for me.)
Sometimes, you have different kissing styles. Due to a traumatic Spin-The-Bottle game in 8th grade, I'm not big on tongue. This was a big problem in Argentina, where every guy I made out with wanted to drool in my mouth. (
Note: All the American girls that I was with agreed that Argentines use too much tongue, so this wasn't just my issue.) One time,
a guy pulled away and asked me why I didn't like him, just because I wasn't using as much tongue as he wanted to.
But some people are just really bad at kissing. Like the guy who licked my sister's face. He lapped her cheek, as if he were a dog. And OK, that's not technically kissing. But they were making out at a club, so it still falls into the "weird kissing fails" category.
What was your worst kiss ever?

In high school my friend felt sorry for me, so she got this guy to kiss me cause apparently being single in high school is some sort of sin haha. Anyways, he was some chick's baby daddy and he slobbered on my face. T.T Horrible.
It was a limp lipped kiss. Yuk.
I was a freshman in high school, the guy was 3 years older than me and his birthday. It was my first kiss really. It came out of the blue and although I had no experience. This guy, likes tongue wrestling, and it was ridiculous. Wayyyyyyyyy too much slobber of sorts.
I hate those kisses that I do not have a spark. No spark, nothing. Those suck. Also the kisses that guys like to use too much tongue. YUCKKKK I am not an ice cream cone don't lick my face!

No matter who you're kissing or why, the basic kiss relies heavily on one muscle - the orbicularis oris, which runs around the outside of your mouth. Your orbicularis oris changes the shape of your mouth while you talk, and it puckers your lips when you kiss.
About two-thirds of people tip their heads to the right while kissing. Scientists believe this preference starts before we're born, when we tip our heads to the right in the womb. So muscles in your head, neck and shoulders tilt your head so your nose doesn't collide with your partner's nose.
Anyone who has ever been kissed knows that the sensations involved aren't confined to the mouth. Your facial nerve carries impulses between your brain and the muscles and skin in your face and tongue. While you kiss, it carries messages from your lips, tongue and face to your brain to tell it what's going on. Your brain responds by ordering your body to produce: Oxytocin, Dopamine, Serotonin, Adrenaline.
When you kiss, these hormones and neurotransmitters rush through your body. Along with natural endorphins, they produce the euphoria most people feel during a good kiss. In addition, your heart rate increases and your blood vessels dilate, so your whole body receives more oxygen than it does when you're just standing around. Endorphins can be found in the pituitary gland, in other parts of the brain, or distributed throughout the nervous system.
Do you ever wonder why you feel better after a long run, a good laugh or a good kiss? It comes from a release of endorphins. Endorphins are neurotransmitters produced in the brain that reduce pain.
They have also been known to induce euphoria. Drugs such as morphine, heroine and cocaine are classic endorphin-releasing entities, but luckily for us, there are less-addictive ways of experiencing such sweet rhapsody: Kissing!
Worst kiss ever? How about disgusting? I remember one guy I dated, and we were making out. All of a sudden, I felt him trying to suppress a sneeze and too late. He sneezes in my mouth! Grossssss.
My first tongue kiss. He was this dude I dated when I was 14 and he was 17. Yeah. Anyway he smoked a cigarette, had to be like a minute beforehand, then dogged me with his tongue down my throat. The rest of the date my throat burned and I had a headache. ICK!
Had a girl who gets too energetic and likes to lunge when kissing so she bashes her teeth into mine, or my face pretty much every few seconds. Makes the kissing suck. Others have sucked for other reasons, but I guess bashed teeth were probably the worst.
first kiss. I was sitting down, he was standing up. he leans forward, I turn my head towards him, he bumps teeth and rams tongue forward.
yeah absolutely no feelings.
I don't know if you can consider it a kiss when he tried to shove his tongue down my throat. I am not sure what he was trying to accomplish, but I had to push him away when I gagged.
I was dating this chick once and I don't know why I was attracted to her okay cuz she was really nasty in a way... Anyways, we we're outside late at night and I was getting ready to leave her house so she followed me out to my ride like always. I'm getting ready to say my goodnight to her and all of a sudden... She pushes me up against the side of my truck and starts making out with me. Next thing she is like getting all frenchy with me (keep in mind she has braces). I feel the braces snag on my lip and I nudged her away. I started bleeding and was like okay enough and left... Lol, we continued seeing each other for awhile after that but things were never the same. Lesson learned: try to stay away from chicks with grills.
Totally has nothing to do with this post but im like 96% I saw that same picture in the museum of modern art in NYC. ok
Lucky me, there hasn't really been anybody who has slobbered my face with too much tongue.. It was more the lack of knowing what to do in the guy's part.. Like it seemed like the person didn't know what to do or was too scared to do anything... and his breath stank.
The first girl I kissed literally used to open her mouth so wide she was swallowing half my face.
Worst. Kiss. Ever.I almost went back to men out of fear that all girls would be that awful.\
Or that time this guy who had such poor oral hygiene his teeth were literally ROTTING OUT OF HIS HEAD tried to put his slimy tongue in my mouth. Feeling it on the outside of my mouth was enough to almost make me puke.
Worst kiss ever was on a St.Patrick's Day years ago. I was drunk and dancing with the dude he started kissing me so I kissed him back. After he pulled away I tasted something peachy and realized I was chewing gum that hadn't been in my mouth prior to the kiss. So I spit it out on the dance floor and went back to kissing him. He was not a good kisser but I was too drunk to care.
@heart_leigh@xanga - EWWWWWWWWWWW
The worst was the first time I kissed a man. My first kiss with a woman, however, was amazing.
It should have been really exciting and romantic.
I'd just done a show, and I wanted to make out with someone. So I started hitting on this guy that looked mildly interesting. We were in a bar, and we heard the police were coming around. My passport had been stolen, and so I had nothing to prove I was in the country legally. He didn't have his ID with him, either, and I guess here, that can be a problem. So we hid in his car together and started making out.
And he used WAY too much tongue, it was really slobbery...I was so grossed out! So he didn't get any further with me that night...or ever! (And it wasn't just because he used tongue. I've since had a few really good French kisses. But he was the first one to use tongue on me and I did not like it at all!)
my first kiss... my boyfriend at the time used too much tongue. it was not perfect. i was sad. =\
Looking at the comments, the take home message is: guys, don't use too much tongue.
I don't use any tongue because the girl I'm with now doesn't like tongue. She's too germophobic, lol. She sucks at kissing at first though. Limped lips.when i tried to do dawson creek's cliche by going thru the window and leaned in for a kiss but also almost falling off the roof but luckily caught myself but then dislocating my right shoulder. yeah worst kiss ever
My worst kiss ever didn't even involve tongue. The guys lips were just....super scrunched up and tense...so there was no softness at all, and he could barely do anything because of it. I know I wasn't his first kiss....I couldn't believe how awful it was.
I feel pretty sorry for anyone he's kissed since. Maybe he'll find someone who cares enough about him to give him a few pointers...
My worst kiss ever was pretty much all these entries...too much tongue. It was our first kiss and he shoved his tongue in my mouth and I pulled away and was soooo grossed out. And I remember he used to eat onions and always try to kiss me.. ewww... I hated kissing him -.- I have no idea why I dated him anyways :/ call me cruel
my most recent ex could not kiss worth a crap. I had to teach him because he used his tongue way too much. grosss
Worst kiss? Easy. Read all about it here. Clicking teeth and everything.
drool all over the face.
