Long before Pepe Le Pew came along, the French had that reputation for being a bit promiscuous. In fact, the origin of the term is a bit vague, but you probably know that a French kiss involves something more than just your lips. Not that you'd want to make out like this at the altar, but these tips could come in handy after the ceremony and beyond.

Prepare for the kiss: Ummm...brush your teeth, take a mint, and skip the onions. Bad breath = bad kiss. Also, invest in a good lip balm. Dry, sticky lips don't slip.

Get ready: Be kind to noses; angle your head. Close your eyes...or keep them open, whichever seems the most romantic in the moment. Touch your lips together softly.

Go for it...gently: Start slow, think soft (no lunging) and gently explore your partner's mouth with your tongue. Nothing is really off limits here as long as you're both into it (and you'll know soon enough if your partner's not into it).

Refine your style: First, remember to breathe. Nobody likes to go from kissing to giving CPR. Second, stay focused and tuned in to your partner. This is not the time to decide what color to paint the dining room. Explore and go for variety for extra fun! Still confused? Try this instructional DVD. Happy kissing!
