It's normal to be nervous about French kissing, especially if you haven't done it before. Don't worry though, because French kissing, while it may seem complicated, is actually quite simple, and often goes without saying. A French kiss is a kiss where you touch your tongue long and deeply against your partner's. Whether you're new to French kissing or want to master your technique, there are several ways to practice this romantic kiss on your own at home.

To step

Method 1 of 2: Learn the technique

1. Tilt your head slightly to one side. This prevents your nose from bumping into your partner's during French kissing. Even if you're not exercising with a person, it's good to get used to tilting your head slightly.
   • If you decide to practice French kissing with another person, you should be direct and let them know that you want to practice kissing, not because you necessarily like them.
   • You can French kiss with your hand, a piece of fruit, or even exercise your imagination. If you are using your hand, make a loose "O" shape with it to recreate your partner's lips and mouth. If using fruit, bite into a piece of ripe, firm fruit, such as a peach or plum, to make a small hole that resembles a mouth.
2. Close your eyes and slowly move your lips towards your partner. By closing your eyes you can focus on the physical feeling of the French kiss. Lean towards your partner and bring your lips to his or her.
   • Otherwise, bring your lips close to your hand or the piece of fruit. You should be only about an inch from the piece of fruit or your hand.
3. Gently press your mouth against your partner's. It's best to start with a soft kiss to test the mood before continuing with a French kiss. Use light pressure and keep your mouth slightly open. Avoid opening your mouth too wide so that you don't startle your partner and end up with a wet, sloppy kiss. Your lips should match his or her - your upper lip can be either above his or her upper lip or between his or her lips. Your lower lip would then rest either between his or her lips or under his or her lower lip.
   • If you practice alone, gently let your lips fit on your hand or the piece of fruit.
4. Gently touch your partner's lips with your tongue. This slow motion helps you gauge if your partner is ready to French kiss and prevents him or her from being startled by sudden tongue movements.After gently kissing him or her on the mouth, slowly stick your tongue out until he touches his or her lips - this could be his or her upper lip, lower lip, or both. If you kiss someone in person and they open their mouth as well, continue with the French kiss.
   • When practicing on your own, use light pressure to touch your hand or the piece of fruit with your tongue.
5. Slightly slide your tongue into his or her mouth. The next step is to slowly and gently slide your tongue into his or her mouth. You can put your tongue above or below his or her tongue, or even move it slightly. Keep it slow and playful. Don't go too deep either; you only need to put a little bit of your tongue in your partner's mouth. Tilt your head slightly to one side and use your lips as a barrier between your teeth to avoid bumping your teeth together.
   • If you are practicing with a piece of fruit or your hand, gently stroke the object with your tongue.
6. Touch your tongue against your partner's with slow, gradual movements. These movements can include touches, caresses, curls, and swings. Your kiss, when you kiss a reactive partner in real life, will naturally build in intensity, pressure, and length. The most important thing in practicing French kissing is to start slowly, then get into a natural kissing rhythm with your partner based on his or her physical response to the kiss.
   • Less is more when it comes to tongue, so don't be too aggressive! However, don't keep your tongue completely still, as that could be uncomfortable.
   • When practicing alone, experiment with different ways of moving your tongue against your hand or piece of fruit until you find a pattern or method that feels natural.

Method 2 of 2: Prepare to actually kiss

1. Watch romantic movies and series in which people kiss French. This will help you become more familiar with French kissing, including how to set the mood and move your head, mouth, and body while kissing.
2. Freshen your breath before kissing. Bad breath or oral health can mess up the mood and make it unattractive to kiss you. If you can't brush your teeth before kissing, use a mint or some gum. Just remember to spit out the gum before the kissing session starts!
   • If you can't brush your teeth between eating and kissing, avoid strong foods like garlic or onion to avoid bad breath.
3. Keep your lips moisturized and soft. Dry, flaky lips can be unattractive and feel rough against your partner's lips. Drink enough water and apply lip balm as needed to keep your lips soft and supple. Just make sure that the scent of the balm is nice and that it is not too slimy or sticky.
   • If your lips are particularly dry, exfoliate with a sugar scrub or even a clean toothbrush.
4. Dim the lights and create a romantic atmosphere. The more relaxed and romantic you feel, the better! Choose a quiet, private place to spend time with your partner. Light nice-smelling candles or play soft music to make the mood romantic.
5. Make your partner feel comfortable. You need his or her clear consent every time you plan to get intimate with another. Ask your partner if he or she is okay with kissing you. If you feel too shy to discuss boundaries with your partner, you probably aren't ready to have physical contact with him or her either.
   • Remember to stop immediately if at any time your partner seems uncomfortable, pushes you away, or asks you to stop.
6. Break the touch barrier. Before you start french kissing right away, start with some light touches. Hold your partner's hand, cuddle with him or her, or lie close together under a blanket. This will make it more natural to switch to French kissing.
7. Use your hands while kissing. Don't just stand by it with hanging arms while you tongue kiss someone. You can wrap your arms around his or her neck or waist. Or, you can hold his or her face lightly, or run your fingers through his or her hair. Do what feels most natural and good for you.
8. Remember to breathe. It's easy to forget to breathe while french kissing someone. Breathe through your nose while you're kissing, or pause the kiss every now and then to take a deeper breath. Try not to pant on your partner - slow down if you feel short of breath or dizzy.
9. Change your technique every now and then. You don't always have to kiss the same way. In fact, it's best to add some variety to your kisses. Try gently sucking your partner's lower lip or massaging his or her tongue with your own for a few seconds. You can also lightly kiss his or her lips or neck in between French kissing.
   • You can also whisper some sweet words to your partner in between kisses to intensify the mood. You could say things like, "I love kissing you so much," or, "You're making my heart race."

Tips
