First Kiss

 
I'm just not ready
Sarah, 16, had her first kiss at 14. ''My first kiss took place at the back of the school oval. All my friends had kissed boys and I was sick of being the only one left. When my best mate told me that Jack was going to ask me out at lunchtime I knew that I'd have to kiss him. Any excitement I felt was overcome with nerves. As he leaned in for the kiss I felt sick. Our braces mashed together and my mouth dripped with his saliva. It was disgusting!''
A first kiss is not something that should be rushed. If your girlfriends all seem to be running around kissing boys but you're not ready, there's no hurry. A lousy first kiss is about as exciting as hearing Britney Spears has had another breakdown. If you don't feel ready to kiss a boy, chances are, the kiss will be terrible anyway. Don't succumb to peer pressure. Your friends aren't the ones who will have to live with the memory of your first kiss. The last thing you want is to regret your first kiss, so do it when you're ready. If you're worried about being seen as a loser for not having kissed a boy, keep in mind that Victoria's Secret model, Adriana Lima, experienced her first kiss at 17. Who would've thought that this Brazilian beauty would've been shy around boys?

I haven't met the right boy
A first kiss is something that needs to be experienced with the right person. Why wait 15 or so years to kiss your brother's geeky best mate? For a good first kiss, it needs to be with someone you trust and someone you actually want to kiss. Again, what's the rush? You've got years to kiss boys, but only one first kiss to give.
Lucy, 21, had her first kiss at 18. "Most of my girlfriends had kissed boys back in year nine and 10, but I found myself in first year uni still not having done the deed. The reason I hadn't kissed a boy was simply because I hadn't met the right one. I wasn't about to kiss some greased up, pimple face just to get it over and done with. In the end I was glad I waited because my first kiss was perfect."

You simply don't want to
If you simply don't want to kiss a boy, that's not a problem at all. Not having the burning desire to experience a first kiss does not make you weird. Sexual experiences happen at different ages and there is no deadline for when everything must be done. If you don't want to kiss a boy, don't.
As hard as it may be, try not to be embarrassed if you have never had a first kiss. Whatever the reason, it really isn't that big a deal. Plenty of beautiful, talented women waited for the right moment or boy for their first kiss. Whether you haven't met the right boy, it goes against your beliefs, you're not ready or you simply don't want to, not having experienced a first kiss is as insignificant as never having had your hair dyed.
