Your Preferred Style Of Kissing Can Reveal A Lot About Your Relationship

The way you kiss your partner can reveal a lot of things about your relationship. You can deny all you want but according to Sheril Kirshenbaum, author of the book The Science of Kissing: What Our Lips Are Telling Us, there is a logical explanation as to why we kiss and how it can be telling about our personalities and relationships with other people.

“A kiss really works as nature’s litmus test. It tells us whether we decide to pursue a relationship. This brief kiss is about seeing if there is a spark that might lead to more advanced types of kissing.”
The book lays down the most common kissing styles, with Kirshenbaum presenting insights about what your relationship and personality.
“The Gentle Kiss is one that is all about anticipation. Each person very lightly kisses the other on the lips, not applying very much pressure at all.”
Kissing on the cheek shows that there is a sign of fondness or a show of politeness when you kiss your partner on the cheek. Basically it says ‘I like you’ to the person on the receiving end of the kiss. Romantic feelings may still be present, but one can tell that true friendship is present between the two of you.
“The Angel Kiss is about protection and a sense of security. One person lightly kisses the other on the eyelid while they are sleeping, as a reminder that someone is watching over them.”
For couples who just recently got together, this could be taken as a sign that you are not yet comfortable with each other. Long time couples, however, who engage in the ‘Closed Mouth Kiss’ can indicate signs of “emotional walls” between the two of you. While a kiss is not the sole indicator of the state of your relationship, it can be one of the main reasons why you are happy or unhappy with your partner.
The “Sloppy Kiss” is a kiss that is charged with passion and intimacy. That pretty much sums up the kind of relationship you have with your partner as well. According to Kirshenbaum, “Men tend to express a preference for wet, sloppy, open-mouthed kisses”.
