Oh dude, I've kissed some bad ones. I've had a girl "make out" with me like a dog. That's where I got the bit about "don't go back and forth like a panting dog". It happened to me and it was weird.

Hmm.. I have full confidence in a normal human being to understand how to bite playfully and softly without causing pain. Even if your inexperienced, I think you understand the concept of how to bite into things without chewing on them and eating them.

Yes, I advised a virgin to behave like a 21 year old who wants to make a move on a girl that has TOLD HIM she likes him.

Thank you. I've made a point of trying to defend this. And I'm trying to get people to not just read this Jezebel article, but read the Reddit post from the beginning, to my comment and beyond.

And I'd probably not enjoy your company. Like I said, I've never had a girl react negatively to a soft bite of the lower lip. How is that something you do weeks down the line if you're already making it? If your tongues are already all over each other, how is a bite of the lip any more?

I'm quite aware of that.

I wasn't trying to vindicate myself so much as I was trying to point out that there are multiple opinions on what I wrote, not just what was being represented on Jezebel.

Then I can die knowing I did good in this world.

I may have responded directly to another of your comments, I'm not sure.

I understand where all the rage came from. I'm no fool. I knew this would happen if it was read by anybody other than a handful of redditors.

It's not wishful thinking. I based it on real life experience of what has worked for me. This was purely anecdotal, and you'll see several times in the comments I say "Your mileage WILL vary."

OH MY FUCK THANK YOU. This is genius.

I'm about to get laid.

This is some legit advice.

Not during the initial kiss. This is something you do down the line while "making out".

Context has been the crux of my defense. A lot of this was taken out of context, and the whole thing was treated like I wrote it as a how-to guide. I wrote it for one person. It was a personal response to him, and him alone. I was taking his situation into mind, and sharing what I thought could be helpful.

It's what I expected when somebody messaged me that it got sent to Jezebel. I knew it was going to be pulled apart and treated like it was fantastical erotica written by a rapist.

It's bizarre. I thought this comment would be read by the OP and disappear into the shadows of reddit forever. Whoever put me on /r/bestof .. you.. what have you done.

I hear that. That makes complete sense.

You're absolutely right on all counts.
