If you’re not kissing during sex, then what the heck are you doing?! It literally makes the entire escapade much more enjoyable, among many other reasons. But really, whatever dynamic you have going on (friends with benefits, exclusive relationship, etc.), kissing during sex is a constant. A given! A makeout session or any kind of kissing cannot be missed out on.
Let’s talk more about it in full in this short guide down below. Happy reading!
Why Do People Like Kissing During Sex
Oh, there are a lot of reasons why. Keep reading this section for more deets!
1 It’s hot.
Body on body contact is already steamy, but add your lips into the mix and you literally can’t get enough of one another. Along the way, you may stumble into the door or any other furniture before getting into the bedroom. Plus, think of all the sexual tension that built up before you’re finally kissing and doing the deed while you’re at it. Exactly.

2 It’s intimate.
If you’re kissing someone lips to lips, you’re face-to-face with your boo. The eye contact from this occurrence strengthens your emotional closeness and encourages you to be and live in the moment. But if your lips go elsewhere, like their genitals, neck, chest, etc., you feel so seen and appreciated. And if there’s deep eye contact? That’s the kind of instance that’ll get you wet or hard!
3 It lets you savor the moment.
Rather than seeing sex as a goal, you’re rooted in the journey. In every moment you’re with your partner. When you’re kissing, it slows things down, and you simply enjoy the experience. Even if you’re kissing all quick and crazy, you’re very much present with your boo. Like, c’mon, your desire for them is all over the place (and vice versa).
4 It deepens a couple’s connection and bond.
Kissing alone can release lots of hormones like oxytocin (the love hormone) and dopamine. Add sex, and there are endorphins due to all the physical actions. Such hormones make you feel good and relaxed, even reinforcing feelings of affection and trust.
5 It’s for any kind of sex.
Penetrative or non-penetrative, kissing during sex is possible. In turn, that means anyone, regardless of sex or gender, can engage in and have a lot of fun with it.
How to Incorporate Kissing During Sex
Let’s explore the different ways you can kiss during sex here.
1 Penetration
Kissing during vaginal sex can be face to face or from behind (if doggy). As for anal sex, kissing can be through lips to lips wherein the receiver looks back to lock lips with the giver or the giver gives them back and neck kisses.
Also, don’t forget kissing mid-thrust! It builds more rhythm and intensity to the whole act.
2 Non-Penetrative Acts
Handjobs and fingering makes kissing possible, multitasking pleasing a genital with one another erogenous zone. It can be the lips, neck, below the ear, shoulders, and many more. Get adventurous here!
Moreover, you can make out with your boo when you ride their thigh. And technically, oral sex is kissing during sex because you’re making out and pleasing their genitals!
3 Beyond the lips
We usually associate kissing with lips to lips, but it’s more than just that! Use your lips to kiss your partner’s inner thighs, navel, nipple, and whatever part they find pleasurable!
4 With sex toys
Sex toys are your best friends during sex, they say. So while kissing, using sex toys as your main source of pleasure can elicit so many positive emotions and enhance your bond.
5 Post-Orgasm Cuddles
Slow and tender kisses once you’ve orgasmed together make the moment a lot sweeter and memorable. It’ll further ground you into relaxation before moving into aftercare.
Tips To Remember When Kissing During Sex
Maximize your experience by being mindful and respectful towards your partner, alongside the tips below.
- Communicate all throughout: Whether verbally, through body language, or through eye contact, it helps you stay in sync with your partner. And you must listen and respond as the comments arise to make the experience more enjoyable.
- Ask for consent: Even if you’ve kissed this person before, asking them “Can I kiss you?” before proceeding shows that you care about their well-being and boundaries. Plus, it’s hot and sexy.
- Prioritize your breath: Kissing requires a lot of oxygen, so it helps to pull back when needed. Moreover, you can utilize eye contact to keep you both locked in the mood.
- Stay hydrated: Hydration means more moisture on your lips and mouth, which is vital for kissing. That way, everything is soft, smooth, and comfortable.
- Practice makes progress: Kisses can be messy and imperfect, but that’s what makes them memorable and thrilling. Don’t stress too much over technique, as you and your partner will find your rhythm and keep on exploring what kisses turn you on.
