A smooching scene turns the entire living room awkward with parents searching for a remote to change channels even today. But do you know about the ancient Indian text that had an entire lesson dedicated to different types of kissing?
Yes, we are talking about Kama Sutra – a text on the philosophy of life, social status, self-improvement, relationships, and romance that became world-famous for all the wrong reasons. While it also talks about the process of attaining “moksha” in your older years, today we will talk about the aspect you are more interested in – different types of kisses as per the book that makes you a better lover.
Without any further delay, let’s just dive right into the 12 out of the many types of kisses mentioned in the Kama Sutra.
12 Types of Kisses from the Kama Sutra –
- The Eyelash Kiss
Kama Sutra is not only a guide of sex, but also a manual on living life well and fostering healthy relationships. The Eyelash kiss transcends mere lust. As the name goes, it is about touching your eyelashes with that of your partner’s, as if the eyelashes of both are kissing.
As your eyes meet, it naturally fosters deeper eye contact, laying the foundation for emotional intimacy. Gradually, your breath syncs with your partner’s, fostering a sense of unity. This intimate gesture extends beyond passion, making it one of the most enchanting kisses, especially for new couples embarking on the journey of shared connection and understanding.
- The Throbbing Kiss
Bollywood has been replicating this kiss on screen without even realizing it. It is the throbbing kiss. Here, the woman feels a little reserved and shy, but yet can’t resist kissing her lover. Her lips touch his passionately, but only her lower lips move. Her upper lip fails to twitch as she grasps the man’s mouth.

- The Measured Kiss
In the Measured Kiss, one partner takes charge, leading the kiss, while the other enjoys the moment passively. The other partner avoids moving their lips, allowing dominance to the other partner. It’s a way to spice up roles in a relationship or during role-plays. Yet, consent remains a priority.
- The Direct Kiss
Unlike the measured kiss, the Direct kiss is the “kiss of the equals”. Here, both partners participate equally in a passionate smooch. Faces close, lips brushing, this kiss allows for mutual participation – kissing, sucking, and biting with equal fervor. It’s a celebration of respect and the absence of power dynamics in a relationship.
- The Finger Kiss
A unique kissing technique that also works as a perfect indication of oral sex. As the name goes, the finger kiss involves inciting your partner with your fingers. First, use your fingers to caress their lips. After a good moment, put your fingers inside their mouth and rub their saliva onto your lips and theirs.
- The Brushing Kiss
Have you ever kissed your lover with your eyes shut before your lips even touched theirs? Then probably you have “brushed kissed ”. This happens when you are kissing someone for the first time or at least want to create the expression that you don’t do this enough. You can also shut their eyes with your hands while kissing. This affectionate gesture resonates with innocence and love.
- The Bent Kiss
Who doesn’t love a partner who is eager to make important decisions? This feeling is reflected in lovemaking when a partner makes the first move by taking the face of their lover, bending it lovingly to move it up to their mouth, and kissing them. It’s intensely romantic, passionate, and a great starter to foreplay leading to an erotic climax.
- The Clip Kiss
Ever engaged in a playful tongue tussle with your lover? It’s a bit childish, and a tad messy, but it unleashes your inner child, infusing playfulness into your relationship. In the Clip Kiss, both partners playfully press their tongues together, creating a love game where the winner and loser both win.

- The Askew Kiss
The kiss where your nose doesn’t get in the way! The askew kiss is common in today’s time but was also mentioned in the ancient text. To make this kiss successful, a couple tilts their heads in a way that their nose doesn’t interfere. They are free to move their tongue as deeply as they want. You can spend minutes doing this one.
- The Pressure Kiss
This is the perfect kiss for times when your partner likes it rough. Begin with kissing your partner passionately, keeping their eyes and mouth shut. It’s you who’ll do the talking (or kissing). You are allowed to bite, but only if your partner wants it. If it’s getting too rough, you can cover your partner’s face with your hands to take the heat on yourself a little. Again, it must be done with mutual understanding and consent.
- The Stirring Kiss
Has there ever been a time when your partner is not in the mood, and you want to turn them on? In the Kama Sutra, there’s a special kiss for this – the stirring kiss. When your partner is inattentive or feeling lazy, you can turn them on by kissing them. This is called the stirring kiss. Remember, it teaches you to pursue, not to force.
- The Reflection Kiss
Are you weak in flirting? That’s why it’s said, – “Listen to your elders”. Because your ancestors had already figured out a flawless way of flirting centuries ago in the Kama Sutra. It’s called the reflection kiss. In this kiss, you look at your lover in a mirror and playfully start kissing the mirror. You slowly move the kiss from their lips to their neck and continue it further – all in the mirror. Suggest a better way to make your partner blush.
