Kisses Masterpost

All the kisses we deserve.

Kisses

A list of 50 types of different kisses for you to write about and for your characters to experience.

How to write a fluffy kiss scene

In a fluffy, non-sexual kiss scene I would make the kisses shorter, but more frequent, everything is a bit slower and calmer. There is no need for urgency. It’s almost a bit lazy. Instead of deepening the kiss they would give each other a short kiss on the lips and then another one and another one, but they would also focus on other things in the scene:

soft smiles

innocent touches, like neck and shoulders

forehead touches and kisses

hushed conversation

eyelid kisses

gentle stroking of cheeks

soft laughs

tucking hair behind ears

First Kiss Prompts

“I would very much like to kiss you right now.” “Please.”

“I’m not sure how to…” “Just follow my lead.”

“Is it ok if I kiss you?” “I would like that very much.”

“I knew I would love kissing you, but this was…” “Even better than the dream?” “Yes.”

“This would probably be the perfect moment for a kiss…” “And we probably shouldn’t waste it.”

“I would like to show you how I good I feel when I’m with you.”

“I’ve never done this before. I’m probably not going to be great at it.” “Neither have I. But we could figure it out together.”

The first kiss was not like the movies. It was a bit too stiff and at an awkward angle. But the second one was already better. Later that evening they had already become masters.

It was always exciting to kiss someone new. The first shy touches of yet to be claimed lips, leading to soft sighs and deepening feelings.

The feather-light touch on her lips made her feel warm and safe.

It was the first time their lips were meeting, but they immediately knew that it wouldn’t be the last.

Accidental Kisses

in a moment of celebration they get overwhelmed with emotions and basically without a conscious decision to do it

they fall into or onto each other and their lips meet

they have to share a very tight space and one of them tries to turn around which makes their lips meet

one gives the other a kiss on the cheek and the other one suddenly turns their head

One of my all-time favorite Universal movies is The Bride of Frankenstein. Elsa Lanchester portrayed the bride. It was the role that brought her worldwide recognition. When someone talks about the Bride of Frankenstein, it is Elsa’s face that pops to mind first. The Bride of Frankenstein was released in 1935. I hope that you all will enjoy my ode to Elsa in this iconic role. The pattern is…
