Kissing and The Truth about How to Kiss Women
Ryan returned to the subject of kissing, comparing it to a hotel bill. He said kissing is like a lobby … if the lobby is nice, you might get to a room. If there’s no lobby, or a bad lobby, you’re not getting any further. Ryan said he’d found an ebook ‘the truth about how to kiss women’ and had the author of the book, Peg Sausville, on to talk about what makes a good kiss. Ahead of the interview, Ryan claimed not to have said he was a good kisser … despite Ellen quoting his words and them playing them back, Ryan wasn’t having any of it! Pressure a bit much with an ‘expert’ on the line, hmm?
Peg told Ryan that to a woman, a good kiss is soft, sensual, moist but not drippy. She said it can get passionate, but women want soft, sensual, sweet and a build-up rather than going for it right away. Ryan was demonstrating his cheek stroking technique on his microphone … I hope Natalie got THAT on video … but then killed the mood by asking how much licking is appropriate, being told a very firm ‘none!’ Ryan’s next question was what a guy should never do. Peg told him that the guy shouldn’t assume a girl’s up for a full kiss straight away, adding that women like gentlemen and a bit of restraint. Ellen reminded Ryan that he’s told a lot of stories about kissing, including practising with a pillow and a poster. Ryan quickly explained that he had imagined kissing the girl on his poster, not that he’d been kissing the poster.
Melrose Place
Ryan admitted that he used to have an embroidered denim Melrose Place jacket, which he claimed to have won from a radio station. Ellen thought Ryan had lived in Melrose Place when he first moved to LA; Ryan said it was more like the Melrose Place complex and talked about sharing a place with his friend and eating all kinds of things that he has since learned are not so good as he thought.
Ryan had watched the pilot episode of Melrose Place, and this was what he thought of it…
He described one scene where a guy who looks like Michael Phelps proposed to a hot chick. The guy made a great proposal that gave Ryan chills, but she just gave him a blank stare, a pause and then asked to think about it for a day. Oops!
Ryan’s not an expert on make-up
… or so he says! A girl called in to ask Ryan’s advice. She’s been going out with her boyfriend a while and always worn lots of make-up, but now her boyfriend thinks it’s too much. Ryan decided that the guy is worried about other guys hitting on her and advised her to keep the make-up, keep wearing short skirts, and leave the guy!
Boyfriend’s friends
Another caller wanted Ryan’s advice, this time a girl called Teresa who hates her boyfriend’s friends. Ryan knew straight away what the problem was, which Ellen was sceptical about. To her challenge, Ryan wanted to know if she questioned Santa Claus … that’s a pretty good come back, though I’m not sure Ryan should encourage comparisons with fat blokes with beards. Teresa described her boyfriend’s friends as immature, complaining they drink too much and play beer pong. She wants them to be more more boring responsible. Ryan said there was something she could do to stop her boyfriend going out with his friends …. but he’d tell her after the break. I mean, after 8. When he eventually got Teresa back on the phone, Ryan advised her to plan, choreograph and rehearse ultimate sex … that’s possibly the best advice I’ve heard him give out ;)
Justin Bieber
Ryan told a story about him and Randy being on a flight, both listening to music through their headsphones (Ryan wearing his buds and Randy rocking out the equivalent of 22 inch rims) and when Ryan asked what Randy was listening to, it turned out they were both listening to the same track.
Ryan thinks this kid’s picture is going to be on the inside door of a lot of lockers this fall.
