Kisses are not just reserved exclusively for the face. There’re places where a kiss on the body is welcomed or can be planted.


A kiss can mean so many things depending on what type of kiss it is and who it’s coming from (Take note: Who’s coming from). A kiss can be one of the most magical experiences of one’s life.

Every kiss offers a special connection to the other person if it’s coming from someone in love with you. Whether it’s a kiss of friendship, passion or a warm greeting, it sends out strong vibes.

There’re so many options of kiss to choose from. You will kiss your significant other much differently than that of a dear friend. The way you hug a friend is also different from the way you hug your partner.

Here are some of the different types of kisses and what they really mean.

1. Kiss on the hand.
This is when you grasp a persons’ hand with your fingers gently and kiss the back of the palm. It’s a polite move and one that shows your admiration and passion for someone. It could also be used as a show of respect for the other person especially if they’re way older.

2. Single lip kiss.
A subtle single lip kiss is where you suck and insert their lip between yours at the same time. This is a suggestive kiss that lets the other person know that you are very much into them and hope for a chance soon.
