Did you know that apart from the regulars like the French kiss and the classic peck on the cheek you can lock lips in myriad ways? Chuck the mundane and opt for the innovative to heat up your coochie-cooing session

From hunky Shashi Kapoor and glamorous Zeenat Aman in Satyam Shivam Sundaram to dynamic Emraan Hashmi and sexy Mallika Sherawat in Murder and Adonis Hrithik Roshan and gorgeous Aishwarya Rai in Dhoom, actors have been setting the screen on fire with their celluloid kisses! Now it is your turn! Variety is the spice of life and a kiss is an essential ingredient for spicing up matters of the heart. So, here are some interesting varieties of muaah muaahs to set the ball rolling. Pucker up!

The Single-Lip Smooch

To send shivers and tingles down your man’s spine, grab him closer and give him this extremely romantic treatment! Take his lower lip in yours and gently tug and nibble on it. Do not rush it! ‘Slow and steady wins the man over’ is the moral of this kiss.

Eye Contact

Do you see your sweetie sleeping on a recliner on a lazy afternoon with a book on his lap? Doesn’t he look absolutely kissable? Time to plant a cute peck on his eye then! Place a tender kiss on top of his closed eyes, right below his brow bone. Men love this one.

Finger Food

No, this is not what you think it is! No, not even that! Dip your finger in whipped cream or chocolate sauce and lie down next to him. Allow him to suck your fingers. Guaranteed to whet the appetite, literally and figuratively!

Foot Fetish

To execute this highly erotic kiss, slightly suck your man’s toe fingers and plant a light peck on the foot. Well, it might tickle him but the sensation is bound to be a pleasurable one! It also helps in gently massaging the base of the foot. Ladies, this can get highly seductive!

Melt in the mouth

This one is absolute fun as certified by umpteen Hollywood flicks! Hold a small ice cube in your mouth and pass the ice using your tongue to him. While passing it you should kiss your partner. Why not take turns here and make it more fun? Remember, you have to pass it before the ice melts! The ice can be substituted with strawberries, grapes or small pieces of fruits too. Nibble one half of the piece while he nibbles the other half. Messy and squishy yes but very romantic!

Ear erotica

A man’s ear is known to be one of his most erogenous zones because the area around the ear is full of nerve endings. Explore around his ear with your tongue and lips and whisper naughty nothings to increase the sexual anticipation. When he is all charged up take his earlobe between your teeth and nip it gently to make it an earth shattering experience. He will be forever ready to lend you an ear.

Lip Gloss Kiss

In this fun and flirty kiss, apply a generous amount of lipstick or lip gloss, preferably in shades of scarlet, and rub your lips on your partner’s until his lips turn crimson! Surprise him with his favourite flavour.

The Eskimo Way

Did you know Eskimos kiss by rubbing their noses back and forth against each other? Keep your eyes closed and rub your nose against his. Don’t be surprised if he grabs your lips while doing this. This is more of an affectionate kiss than a passionate one.

Vampire Style

Yes, this is the one that gives love bites. Before you give (or get) a hickey, ask for permission. People usually find it embarrassing to walk with a dark pink bruise on the side of their neck. While the hickey might hurt a little bit, the sucking on the side of the neck takes you to sensual heaven. What better way to initiate foreplay than this.

Get kiss ready

Before the right romantic moment strikes to seal your love with a kiss run through this quick checklist

	Ensure that your lips aren’t chapped. Dry lips can be quite a turn off. Always keep a chapstick handy with you. Also carry a mouth freshener spray. Bad breath can be a huge put off too!
	Do not project a ‘leave me alone’ message through your gestures and expressions. Have a pleasing, warm and an inviting face which hints just the right things. Make sure you dispel all discomfort and awkwardness before getting cosy or else the whole effect will get ruined.
	Make eye contact first and then gaze at his lips. Then a demure look straight into his soul through his eyes should do the trick.
	It is all in the stance. Hold his shoulder or his neck or his cheeks with your palm. You will have to tilt your face a little bit towards the side for the perfect kiss.
	This needs coordination between you and your partner. Keep switching between the upper and the lower lip. Do not bite it hard and make your man squeal in pain! Remember just nip and tug, not pull and tear.
