Sex Definitions / Question
Published: April 23, 2002
Dear TeenHealthFX,
I haven't kissed yet and I have been asked, but I said no. I don't know how and I was embarrassed that I would do it wrong. Well I think that this is the reason my boyfriend broke up with me, but he hasn't said anything. I was wondering if you could tell me how to French kiss. I mean how do you place your mouth because I don't want to bite their face!!! And what in the world do I do with my tongue? Let it sit there and let him do all the work? By the way I am laughing the whole time I am writing this because I realize how dumb I sound. I need help desperately.

Dear I Hope I Don't Bite Their Face,
There is no dumb questions - Yes, some are funnier than others, but you do not sound dumb!
TeenHealthFX realizes that puberty and all the things that go along with it can be rough. It is all new to you with many new responsibilities and feelings.
If you are learning how to kiss, we say take it slow. TeenHealthFX has answered many questions similar to yours; please check out How Do You French Kiss A Guy? and Help With French Kissing for more information.
As a side, you mentioned that you think your ex-boyfriend broke up with you over this kissing issue. If this is the case, then maybe the relationship was not meant to be. In any relationship, you both need to be ready for kissing (or anything sexually for that matter). The two people in the relationship need to feel comfortable with each other and be able to discuss these issues.
