Find a girl who's a masochist? Or one who also has braces, and therefore a tongue as tough as yours?

if she also has braces you may get locked, then you pray your parents, and your orthodontist are understanding, I know enough people who this happened to to know that it can be funny as well as tragic

if she does not have braces, just don't, talk to her, discuss your concerns, discuss that you think this particular style of physical intimacy might be difficult and find some proxy activity, you don't need to shove tongues into each others mouths to have a relationship

no one ever wants to hear that answer

:wtf: I had braces for four years and never once had a problem, I had a perfectly active social life.

The thing about locking etc is an urban myth. You don't use your teeth to kiss unless you are planning to bite her lips off.

This isn't really the place to be asking anyway, ask your orthodentist, and he/she will confirm it.

Kissing is an important part of the bonding process; love is based - and this isn't to downplay its importance and value as an emotional rollercoaster of feelings - on the drive for reproduction, and physicality (for lack of a better description) is an important (reinforcing & increasing it) part of that developing closeness.  Actions, after all, speak louder than words - and, franlkly, I'd be worried about a relationship without that set of urges.

You guys are nerds, so you've had braces.

that's a fairly huge assumption

I think it's pretty obvious he was speaking at least partly tongue in cheek - the :p was a dead giveaway

Ah, kissing with braces.  I'm worried about kissing all the time too (I am wearing braces too if you guys remember my braces thread a year ago).  However, I think you should be fine if you stay gentle.  Tilt you head slightly (like you normally would when kissing someone on the lips) and place your lips softly on hers.  Gently kiss her with the 'nibbling' moment (very gently) and when you get more comfortable, you can explore a bit with your tongue.  Bear in mind, being gentle is the key :D  You are more likely to cut yourself if you're being rough (plus you would scare her when she could feel your braces).

I often get more cuts having quick pecks on my nephews' cheeks because the kisses are always too quick and hard.  Anyway, just relax, be gentle and enjoy :D

Exactly, unless you're trying to bite someones face off it's really not a problem. I suffered more from cuts on my gums from the wires than from any problems kissing.

My first kiss was right after my braces got removed so I don't know. (just 4 weeks ago)

However, one of my best friends told a story about one of her best girlfriends was kissing her boyfriend. And they both had braces... I'm guessing you know what happened, they both got stuck to each other and eventually one of them grabbed a pencil and used it as a crowbar between them :P

You see, this is odd, I was wearing braces for over 4 years and knew absolutely no-one who had this problem. The teeth are behind the lips so I dread to think how these people were kissing.

These braces... are they this sort?

If so, French kissing may prove a problem regardless of what anyone says.

When she goes to kiss you, just put your hands on her shoulders and gently apply pressure....

The vulcan nerve pinch only works in Star Trek and even there is generally frowned up as a dating technique.

It's worth mentioning - what has more feeling; the surface of teeth or the surface of lips? :)

What on earth are you talking about?!  :nervous:  Sounds like you need to date and kiss more often :P

Lips, they are full of vessel networks.  So kiss the lips, not the teeth surface :D  Hmmm... on the other hand, if you do kiss the teeth (depending on what you bought her for dinner) you might end up tasting food, instead of mint.  Not as boring as I thought it would.

Alright, some confusion i guess; The other person DOESENT have braces. And thanks for the advice, Fragaria! :)

Edit: And yes, my first post was maybe a bit sarcastic. :p

yes but the point is he wants the tongue in someone else's cheek.

if she has good aim there's no problem, she'll go straight between the braces into the mouthal area.  i had 2 years with braces, and i did some kissing.  its no biggie.

retainers are a ***** though, best to take those out.

I had braces from 2nd till 4th grade and 6th till 8th grade. I got them off a few months ago.

They sucked balls

...

That was a horrible analogy

I never liked french kissing/making out/whatever.. one tongue is plenty.
