French Kissing was a term in the 50s when Puritans were showing TV shows with husbands and wives kissing by touching their lips briefly and nothing more :) French Kissing is really just "normal kissing" - kissing with the mouths partially open and the tongues touching. It's how most people kiss their romantic partner anyway.

Let's start with that 'brotherly' kiss, where your lips just sort of press up against each other. Sure, it's OK to start with. But it's just the start. You want to wait until you're both relaxed to try this next step - don't do this on the front porch when her parents are looking out the window or his kid sister is walking up the steps.

Open your mouth slightly, and slide your tongue out a bit, until it just touches your partner's lips. Lick against them gently until your partner gets the hint and opens up a bit. Keep sliding your tongue in further, tickling your partner's tongue and lips with your own tongue. Think of your tongue as a finger, lightly brushing against your partner's skin. The touch is soft but tantalizing.

Don't be doing lots of other things with your hands while you French kiss. This distracts the person you're kissing! Just hold them and have them focus on this tongue and what it's doing. That should be the primary focus in a French kiss.

When you're both comfortable with the tongues touching, start getting even more erotic. Slide your tongue along your partner's tongue. You're sort of reproducing the sex act here, with your tongue. So slide your tongle along the other tongue gently at first, and then more and more quickly. Do circling moves, where you go around the tip of the tongue, and then do a thrusting slide down the length of the tounge. Then ease off and circle again.

This isn't about strangling your partner with your tongue or getting slime all over the place. It's about teasing each other with gentle touches then firm touches, to awaken those thoughts of the sex act.
