Start with your lips
The first thing that comes to mind when you think about French kissing is probably your tongue, but that shouldn't come into play right away. You should ease into it and follow your partner's cues. Start just by lightly kissing the surface of the lips (either the top lip, the bottom lip, or both).
A kiss without any tongue at all is perfectly fine. When you're ready to take it to the next level, open your mouth just a little wider and gently touch your tongue against your partner's. Let the tips of your tongues 'play around' together.
Don't do too much
Don't do much more than that. One common rookie mistake is trying to stick your whole tongue down someone's throat. At the very least, you'll create an awkward moment; at the worst, you'll become an embarrassing story your partner tells for years. When it comes to tongue, a little goes a long way, and teasing can be very arousing.
The best spots to place your hands are along your partner's neck, jaw, or waist, or on the back of your partner's head. If you want to be extra-romantic, softly cup your partner's face.
Using your hands while you kiss helps make things far more romantic, sensual, and tender. Never just leave them by your side; that's just awkward, and you're missing an opportunity to make your partner feel more than just your tongue.
Take regular breaks to pull away and look into your partner's eyes. It'll give you a chance to catch your breath, share a smile, and savour the moment. It'll also help slow things down a bit, and slower—as any good lover will attest—is sexier.
