First kisses are often awkward, but seldom are they judged as harshly as Erin Moriarty’s first kiss. The Boys actress, on A Little Late with Lily Singh, revealed her first kissing experience, and apparently, it was not what she expected. The actress opened up about what was going on in her head while engaging in her first kiss and talking about how she views it now.
Erin Moriarty had her first kiss when she was in the seventh grade. It was a sea of inexperience that she had to tread through. Moriarty, in conversation with Lily Singh, opened up about her first, last, best and worst experiences in given situations. The game merited that she choose one descriptor for the events that Singh would mention and then regale what the scenario was.
Erin Moriarty’s first kiss was ‘the worst’
Erin Moriarty talked about her first kiss, which she had in the seventh grade. The actress talked about how weird it felt, and how long it lasted, making it it awkward for her, and with a very bad taste in her mouth, no pun intended. The actress, speaking on Lily Singh’s talk show, said:
“I think I was in seventh grade, and I remember there was a lot- a lot of tongue. And I left it like ‘Oh, my God, I hate kissing. Like kissing is not for me’ , Like I left it traumatized. I had post-first kiss PTSD for a while. It was not good.”
Moriarty, upon prompting from show host Lily Singh, indulged questions about her first kissing session, which was so horrible that the actress felt traumatized going into such situations again.
Further, the kiss allegedly lasted “30 Mississippis”, which is a very long time to be kissing someone bad at it. One can only assume how annoying the situation must have been for the actress, having to put up with such an experience but not having the know-how to make it stop, given her inexperience.
Erin Moriarty almost gave up on kissing
Moriarty talked about her first kiss and how horrible it made her feel, but she also revealed a key detail about the situation. What exactly went through her head could have spelled doom for her future partners, if the experience was the only exposure the actress had to kissing. She said:
“I was like first kiss/make out session. And I just remember standing there, and I was just like- “If this is what kissing is, it’s not for me.”
However, as deduced by Singh. Moriarty moved on from the experience, being much more comfortable with the act, which no doubt was due to better experiences later in life. First kisses are like a flip of the coin, they can be great, or they can be horrible.
While Moriarity seemingly drew the shorter end of the stick, it does not mean that later experiences cannot amend the initial disappointment. Moriarty might have had a dodgy start with kisses, but it is safe to assume that she too found her way to what worked for her.
