1. The Dying Fish
She says: “When we made out, he shoved his tongue in my mouth and had no control—it flopped around like a fish out of water and it was gross.” – Lauren, 29
How to fix it: Rather than letting your tongue bob and droop around uncontrollably once it’s in there, try some light, varied moves that won’t remind her of a slimy creature. Andréa Demirjian, The Kissing Expert and author of Kissing: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About One of Life’s Sweetest Pleasures, advises, “After introducing the tongue, alternate by pulling back on it, and just focus on the lips, slowly caressing her lower and/or upper lip with your tongue, sucking her lips gently, or just softly kissing her lips. Teasing between tongue and no tongue can be very arousing, and lets the anticipation build.”
