Check out G&STC’s Director Jesse Kahn talking with Sabrina Talbert at Women’s Health about what how to be a better kisser.
“‘Physical contact and touch is an emotional and physical need and can release oxytocin, reduce stress, and calm our nervous system,’ explains Jesse Kahn, LCSW-R, CST.”
“‘Consent at all stages of intimacy is important,’ says Kahn. ‘Some great ways to ask for consent can be as simple as 'Can I kiss you?' or 'I want to kiss you—is that okay?'
Kahn also recommends starting a conversation by asking how someone likes to be kissed, so you can feel things out before straight up asking.”
MORE ON KISSING FROM G&STC DIRECTOR JESSE KAHN:
Kissing preferences are different for every person, so being a good kisser for each person may look different. It can be helpful to take time to think about what you like about kissing, what feels good to you when kissing and how you like to be kissed, and then also ask the person that you’re kissing.
