Lots of tongue play, highly pleasurable, and definitely intimate – that's what differentiates the passionate French kiss from a regular kiss. So, perfect the art and drive your man wild. Here, sex experts reveal hot French kissing techniques that will spice up your lip-locks.

French Kissing Basics

You know the basics of making out: Tilt your head to one side, part your lips, slip your tongue into your partner's slightly open lips, then engage in a passionate tongue tango. But what should a sensual French kiss feel like?

"Kissing someone on the lips can be very powerful because all the major senses are involved. You can see your lover, smell his skin, feel him, taste him and hear him," says Marcelle D'Argy-Smith, author of The Lovers' Guide: What Women Really Want. And although there are many variations of French kissing, they all have the same rule: Keep the tongue movement slow.
