It’s not that I’ve kissed so often that I’m an expert; I’m actually one of those girls who watches all the kissing part on TV dramas and movies looking for tips. And, today, bffs, I will share them with you.

Here’s what I have learned:

It’s pent-up fierceness, cultivated by long stares from across the room, brushes of hands against sleeves, near meetings that fail to come to pass. Ferocious kissing involves tongues first, light tenderness in the coffee breaks and all the hands, lips and stroking of faces you can fit in for dessert.
