Kissing a girl - Should you do it? And if so, how?

Bicuriosity is cool

"I kissed a girl and I liked it" sings Katy Perry, making it sound so easy, but obviously kissing a girl is not at all simple. Just when you thought you'd mastered kissing a boy, society throws a whole new type of kissing into the saliva-based cake mix.

How often have you heard a friend say, "I don't know what happened, one minute we were talking and the next.. well, his tongue was down my throat?" Situations like that happen between heterosexuals all the time. It's just like magnetism - opposites attract. Likewise two women naturally repel each other.

But that bicurious kiss might be just the things that secures you that man you've always wanted, so here are some tips to help you kiss a girl.

Bribe a friend

It may be hard to convince another girl to kiss you even if you pay her money. However you could get her to kiss you in front of the man of your dreams by promising to do the same to help her out. If your timing is right you may be able to titillate both men with the same kiss, thereby saving you from repeating the same icky act twice.

Imagine the girl is a boy

The girl you kiss may well feel softer than a man and you might be able to smell her perfume! Get over this my imagining that your dream man exfoliates regularly to preserve his flawless skin, and that he has bought a new fabric conditioner.

Keep your lips together

It is possible to make a kiss look genuine and quite passionate without ever having to open your lips. If you do use tongues be sure to leave at least one whole inch between you and the girl you are kissing, so that any onlookers can see the hot tongue action.

Carry mouthwash in your handbag

A good cap full of Listerine will stop you from catching cooties and other orally transmitted diseases. It also means that any traces of her boyfriend will not end up in your mouth, meaning that your own boyfriend won't feel threatened.

Watch out for lesbians

Britain is inhabited by dozens of actual lesbians - that means women who engage in dark sexual practices with other women. These have on occasion, been known to prowl straight bars posing as bicurious women in order to try and pull unsuspecting straight women. Faking a sexuality is highly offensive and if you spot anybody trying to do so, you should report them to the police.
