I have downloaded the Boys Night Out podcast for my Pod so I can listen to it while at work. They tackled this particular topic about MOMOL, which actually triggered my writing brain to hit the PC and do this blog. Alam kong marami akong mga taga-basa na hindi accustomed sa ganitong mga set-up, pero you will find out what I’ll be talking about as you go along reading this article.

Una, ano nga ba ang MOMOL? MOMOL is actually an acronym for (Make-Out-Make-Out-Lang). Many people confuse this with “casual sex” but its actually not. Its like foreplay but with the clothes on. No actual penetration whatsoever. It can be a gateway to “sexy time” but I won’t talk about it. I’ll just limit this article just in the art of MOMOL-ing. MOMOL’s can occur sa mga social gatehrings, clubs, drinking sessions, wedding receptions, binyag, kasal, sa park, sa sinehan, or sa kung saan pa, as long as may two persons na parehong may attraction sa isang possible counterpart. Generally involves heavy kissing, touching, petting, and all other possible skin-to skin contact.

Sam YG of Boys Night Out has made this certain MOMOL rules, but the list, at least for me, needs revision of some sorts. So I’ll just reckon all those items that are generally applicable and insert some of my thoughts to it. But most of I have written here are for the guy’s perspective. But in case there will be some girls that will be reading this, feel free to speak out. You know, you may agree, or explain it with the light on your side, or whatever. You may put it in the comments section.

Protocol 1: MOMOL-ing is not LOVE! Never mix the idea of this two: –MOMOL most of the time happens to two people who haven’t even met before. Stick this reality to your brain: first time niyo nagkita, at kung love at first sight ‘to, hindi kayo magmo-MOMOL sa first day of encounter nyo pa lang. Dahil sa inyong dalawa deep inside, may ibang klase kayong pagna-nasa sa isa’t isa. Kung love yan, you’ll have this respect to each other na you will not dare engage into MOMOL.

Protocol 2: Freshen-up: Self explanatory. Always have a good breath. Clean up! MOMOL involves heavy kissing. You don't wanna share what you've just eaten with your partner. Do something with chapped lips. Alam nyo na yan. Hygene is a great factor.

Protocol 3: Communicate: let the girl tell you if gusto niya o kung ayaw niya ang nangyayari during MOMOL. Soft moaning from the girl is a good response. Once you hear this it means you are on the right track. And don't be shy to raise some things during the MOMOL time if you don't want something that is happening or you are feeling uncomfortable because of anything.

Protocol 4: Kiss Good: Kissing is one major part of MOMOL. Huwag kang mang-gigil (unless the girl like it). Don't just concentrate in the face. Explore other places. Apply the right pressure. As much as possible, refrain excessive licking of lips. Lalo kang nag-mumukhang manyak. DON’T EVER WIPE YOUR MOUTH after kissing. Baka isipin pa ng partner mo na nandidiri ka sa pakikipag-kissing sa kanya.

Protocol 5: Easy with the hand, wait the right timing with the tongue. Hindi kailangan maging hyper ang kamay and tongue during MOMOL session. Put your hand at the right place, stick out tongue at the right time. Apply some power pisil here and there but not too hard that it may hurt her. Stroke her hair if you can. And not too much laway. Hindi mo naman siguro gugustuhing matawag na “parang aso” ng ka-MOMOL mo.

Protocol 6: It’s nicer with eyes shut: you may do occasional silip and some eye to eye contact but as much as possible it is much good if your eyes are closed. Let yourself flow with the moment. If your eyes are open all the time during MOMOL, you might have some tendencies to be “technical” and maaaring hindi mo masyadong ma-enjoy yung moment. And it’s kind of creepy for your parter if kada silip nya sayo e nakatitig ka sa kanya while MOMOL-ing. But if its in a public place but you are doing it “patago” (say carpark o sa gilid ng bar) you can open your eyes much more time, to check the rumorondang manong guard, or some other chismoso who wants to watch you.

Protocol 7: Drunk MOMOL-ing can be a make-or-break for you: you can find some of the prospect MOMOL counterpart in the bar especially during inuman sessions, she and you might be in the influence of alcohol. BUT, if you are too drunk, its better not to engage into MOMOL-ing. Ok lang yung nakainom ng konti pang tamang lakas ng loob lang.

Protocol 8: MOMOL-ing lang, walang personalan: pag-may kilig na, stop it. MOMOL-ing is not designed for the faint-hearted. Hindi ito para sa mga madaling mag-fall. Isalba ang sarili habang maaga pa.

Protocol 9: Don’t leave MOMOL traces: nibbling (small bites) can be good on some places, but not on those obvious areas. Hickeys can be embarrassing also. Isipin mo syang ine-explain kung san nya nakuha ang hickey sa nanay nya. So don't leave MOMOL marks. Hindi ayos mag-turtle neck kung tag-init ng isang linggo.

Protocol 10: MOMOL like there’s no tomorrow: perform good. Most of the MOMOL-ings are by chance encounters. So just do your best. Lalo kung hindi ka naman artistahin, daanin mo sa performance. If you may see each other in some other place and time, pwedeng maulit. A satisfied customer will always come back to you if you have your product available. Or malay mo, maaaring maging “by referral system” pa ang MOMOL service mo. A girl caller in the podcast said: “ang lalaki, gusto nila yung “chase”, ang guys dapat binibitin kasi pag alam nila na mayroon pa silang mapapala, hindi sila titigil. Pero pag girls, ang gusto nila, kung anong makita nila yun na yon, kailangan makuha nila yon. Kasi pag hindi nila nagustuhan yan… parang shoe shopping yan, pupunta sila sa isang shoe store, pangit yung shoes don, hindi nay an babalik, Kaya dapat kung ano ang best mo, give it your best shot, kasi sa babae, first impressions last. Hindi yan nakikipag-habulan gaya ng mga boys.”

Protocol 11: Never say “Thank You”: Some of us guys say “ang galling mo!” (or something else in that context) while doing it, which you might find funny right now, but if you say it DURING MOMOL, it can turn the girl on more and she can find it motivating. BUT NEVER SAY THANKS!!! On the other hand, wag ka rin naman masyadong pa-macho feeling, na parang binigyan mo pa sya ng malaking favor by making out with her. You can say to her: “you enjoyed it” but never say “thank you!”

MOMOL-ing can lead to something else. But hey, you can never lead to something unless you start somewhere. Just keep in mind; successful MOMOL-ing focuses more on giving and less on receiving. And that moment after MOMOL-ing can be quite awkward, so be a gentleman and try to lighten things up. You don't have to technically follow all the protocols mentioned above, pero those items may help you be a good MOMOL-er.

Tandaan: MOMOL responsibly!
