Kissing is said to be a universally loved act.

It has also been proven scientifically that kissing has many health benefits. They vary from burning calories and aiding in glowing up your skin among many other benefits.

Now we do kiss pretty often in different forms. Sometimes we kiss our parents, our siblings, friends or even our special someone.

It is a very beautiful form of expressing love. At times when we can’t find words to express, gestures like kissing always come to the rescue.

For those who don’t really know, every kiss has a different meaning to it. It is obvious that while kissing, you may not think of what it meant. But you could use this knowledge the next time your partner kisses you.

Air kiss

Air-kissing is a social gesture that involves pursing your lips and leaning in as if you’re kissing, but without actually touching the other person’s cheek (the little “mwah” sound is optional).

It can be a hello or a goodbye. It basically communicates endearment—like, something you may do with a friend or family member when you’re saying goodbye.

Back kiss

This kiss means your partner wants more than just kisses.

The back kiss can be done only in a private space. It heats up the moment and things will escalate quickly.

Try this kiss only if you are ready to take things forward.

Bite kiss

Kissing and playful biting on the lips, cheeks, jawline, collarbone, or neck can be really tantalising.

While it makes for a seductive first-time hookup, introduce the idea slowly.

Go easy to start and you’ll know if it’s well-received but if the person pulls back, then it’s off the table.

Body kiss

Besides the neck, there are tons of other areas on the body worth kissing, including the chest, stomach, torso, feet, and booty. All this depends on an individual’s sexual preferences and ticklish meter.

Remember, what feels good to one person might not feel good to another.

If you really pay attention to your partner’s body language, you’re going to get a lot of information.
