I am woefully inexperienced in the area of kissing, so I need some help.
At one point, my female main character is going to be in an enclosed space with her love interest, and he is going to push her up against the wall and make out with her. So what's that like, making out all passionately while pressed in a tight space? What do you do with your hands? Is there anything else to note?

It's pretty nice-- hands have a tendency to go everywhere and not a lot gets said. Usually if someone's against a wall bodies are gonna be pressed pretty tightly and all parties involved are going to be fairly into the moment-- expect lip-biting and the like.

Take into consideration their height differences. If he's quite a bit taller than her, he'll have to crouch a little. My boyfriend and I are about the same height, and I usually bend my knees a little or step my legs apart a bit (yay grinding). Fun things to do with hands:
- If he's not crushing his body against her, she could rub his chest.
- She could grope his butt
- Arms wrapped around his chest and rubbing over his back, admiring his muscles, tangling fingers in his hair
- She could wrap her leg around his leg a bit, depending on how much she's into it and how much writhing and grinding you want going on
- If she's bold she might rub her leg between his legs a bit, but take into consideration the potential for knee-to-groin pain.
After a while her back and shoulder blades might hurt a bit from being rubbed against the wall. If she's really into the kissing, this might not distract things much. He could also pick her up and she could wrap her legs around his waist and they could kiss like that. If she needs to catch her breath he might kiss her neck. Also there's that sexy/weird (depending on your idea of sexy) thing that you can kind of breathe through each others mouths... heh.

This amuses me :D
Erm, to tell the truth, it's not much different than regular kissing. I think the thing that really makes it feel different is that the act of pushing one up against a wall can take a person by surprise, so it add spontaneity to the kiss, which can make it more exciting. It's also an act that seems a bit "primal", I guess, because it is kind of rough and dominating in nature, so that can add to the excitement. Most people like it because they see their partner taking control, and we're all kind of lazy and want our partners to be the one to take control, I guess XD I don't really know what to say... (I just found this question awesome so I wanted to contribute :3)
But yeah, the hand stuff is all kind of the same as per regular kissing. The person against the wall has more free range with their hands, whereas the person not against the wall can't really wrap their arms around the other person (since they're, ya know, against the wall... unless they want to wrap their arms around their partner's lower back, I guess.) One thing that the wall is good for is that it presents the person not on the wall to pin the person against the wall's hands to said wall.
And that's really it! hope I hoped ;)

if it is someone you really like it is amazing. you feel like mega wow! and your mind races and your heart feels complete.
me- i tend to entwine my fingers in my significant other's hair. she tends to put her arms around my waist and pull me tighter.
not much is said with voice but plenty with body language
it is awesome and you feel like you are so close but not close enough and yeah...
sometimes i forget to breathe :) maybe as a funny point you can use that?
mmmm now i want to kiss against a wall lol :) such fond memories!

The person who is pushed up against the wall is usually in a great position to get some butt-grabbing in. It doesn't seem too uncommon among people who are younger or a bit intoxicated (or just uninhibited in general) to go straight for putting hands down the pants to grab the other person's butt.
Also, one thing that is often overlooked in describing scenes like that is age. Someone's age - and experience - shows a lot in their technique. For example, have you ever seen someone 30+ who has a hickey? It seems to be considered cool to have or give someone a hickey when you're a teenager, but when you're an adult and you have to go to work with that ugly bite-shaped bruise on your neck, it's a lot less "cool," so you learn not to do that. It's something a lot of people don't really think of.

Oh man, it's amazing. Being kissed against a wall is very passionate, because the wall symbolizes the person could not wait until you were anyplace else - it had to be there, it had to be then. I really enjoy when my fiancee pushes me into the wall and lifts one of my legs onto his hips and afterwards uses the same hand to very firmly run his hand over my side, his other hand pulling me against him even though his lips are pushing me against the wall. It's like this continuous struggle of whether or not you're gonna let yourself fall into the wall in pleasure or push back into his hips with desire.

It's pretty hot, because like others said, it's all about being in the moment and being so into each other you can't wait to even sit down. In terms of hands, it depends a lot on what the guy (in your case) wants to do. He could be pinning her arms to the wall, or just one of her arms, then roaming with the other, or have his hands on her hips, or one on the neck and one on the hip, many possibilities. But hands seldom stay still in any circumstance, but especially when things get *that* passionate. If her arms are free, she can wrap them around the guy's waist, neck, under his arms, play with his hair, rear end, again, anything is possible and everything is possible if they're going at it for long enough. And also, depending on how far you want them to go and how intense you want it to be, you can write it differently. That is, if you want it to get pretty darn intense, he can pick up one of her legs by the thigh, or if you don't want it to go that far the action can stay entirely above the waist. Hope that helped somewhat!

Well, if it's sudden and unexpected, the person against the wall can end up in some pretty awkward positions - arms stuck between him and her, unable to move. She may need to wiggle a bit to readjust before she's able to do anything.
As some people mentioned, butt groping is always a good choice. Also, she may want to run her fingers through his hair and touch the back of his neck. Because of the positioning, she has something to brace herself against, so she'll probably end up pulling him towards her really tightly, be it by wrapping her arms around his torso and pulling him in or by taking the back of his head in her hands and pulling his face into hers.
Teeth may bump, but she won't care.
Best of luck!

that's great! i'm trying to spread the phrase "wall throw" as the new way to say that someone is really hot. like, i'll see a hot girl on the street and i'll turn to my friend and say "oh my god, that girl is a TOTAL wall throw!"
based on the idea that when someone is super hot you want to just throw them against a wall and kiss them, etc...
i'm using it several times in my novel. feel free to use it in yrs!

**EDIT to add this quote from recycle.me**
V hot.
I agree with this 100%:
Personally, I think it's incredibly sexy. It's primal, like he just wants you so bad that he can't wait until you're anywhere else and just becomes so animalistic that he feels the need to push you up against the first surface he could find and start kissing you. It's also a very aggressive move, like he's indicating his dominance over you. When you're pressed up against a wall, you're allowing the other person to be in control. Along that line, I've had guys hold my wrists either against the wall by my waist or, if they're a bit more daring, against the wall above my head.
... Also, with the wall supporting her back, she can easily wrap one of her legs around him to pull him closer in and assert her own dominance which can be incredibly hot.
Everything everyone else has already said, including the quote below!
Once I had a drawstring bag on my back with crips in, and got unexpectedly
pressed up against a wall. My first thought was "Oops" when I heard
the crisps being all broken up, haha. It was with a guy I sorta didn't
like, too. Ahem. That's another story.
Last one was good, however I was sorta surprised so didn't react in time :P.
It can be v awkward but it can also be quite sexy/romantic (:D).
Hands: on hair/playing with hair, around waist, on butt,
on hips. I would assume the people would be pressed pretty close.

The only kinda negative is that you can't pull your head back slightly to vary the intensity of the kiss, it's all up to the partner. A minute of great pressing intensity is one thing, but kisses, in my opinion, need a bit more subtlety if they last much longer than that, and if someone's kissing you too hard it's more like being swallowed. Just sayin'.

A lot depends on the wall. If it's uneven, it can be uncomfortable. If it's outside, what has the weather done to it? Is it damp? Is it made of stone, or siding, or brick, or what? Is it grotty? Stuff like that can distract from the glorious sensation of a primo wall throw.
And if it's uncomfortable for the throw-ee... does the throw-er notice? Or is s/he too into it to realize the beloved isn't having as much fun? That's, alas, a pretty common problem in making out.

Oh, god. Honestly? Best kiss of my life was up against a wall. It was FANTASTIC.
The guy and I were walking down a hallway, and once we turned the corner (out of sight of anyone else - we were secretly seeing each other at the time), he put his hands on my shoulders and pushed me against the wall and shoved his tongue in my mouth. I don't know what this says about me, but the dominance and aggressiveness in his actions made it really hot for me. After he knew I wasn't going to try to get away, he did the whole hands-on-my-face thing that you see in movies all the time. My arms pretty much kept to his back and head (he had a shaved head, so I couldn't run my fingers through his hair or anything).
That was the only time it happened.
Egad, it was hot. I miss him sometimes.

Some of my favorite kisses probably started up against the wall.
Personally, I think it's incredibly sexy. It's primal, like he just wants you so bad that he can't wait until you're anywhere else and just becomes so animalistic that he feels the need to push you up against the first surface he could find and start kissing you. It's also a very aggressive move, like he's indicating his dominance over you. When you're pressed up against a wall, you're allowing the other person to be in control. Along that line, I've had guys hold my wrists either against the wall by my waist or, if they're a bit more daring, against the wall above my head. Other than that, what your hands are up to are pretty much along the lines of what those same people would normally do in any other situation. Depending on the ages of your characters and how daring they are, he'll probably be moving his hands around the back of her neck, feeling her breasts and her butt, and holding onto her waist. Again, depending on how daring they are, he may start to explore her...erm...crtotch...er...region, either over or under her clothing. Bear in mind, if she's incredibly aroused at this point, even touching her over a pair of jeans will be further arousing. She'll be in a great position to grab his ass and she'll probably be running her hands up and down his back and across his neck, maybe lightly scratching his back or squeezing the more muscular portion by his scapula. She may reach down and massage his crotch. Also, with the wall supporting her back, she can easily wrap one of her legs around him to pull him closer in and assert her own dominance which can be incredibly hot.
With regard to what a lot of people have mentioned about adjusting positions or being up against a somewhat uncomfortable surface, I've found that if you're really into it and things are pretty "hot and heavy" (so to speak) you don't really notice the little things like the fact that the arches in your spine are painfully rubbing against concrete. I've been in situations where I'd notice a massive bruise the next day and realize when I incurred it, then wonder to myself how I managed not to notice it at the time.

Damn, I love it. Fortunately my bf does it quite a lot, when I don't expect it. It's just, passionate, sexy, animalistic. It sweeps all my thoughts and all I can think of is how could I persuade him to have sex with me? We just stand there, wild kissing, and even trying to get undressed. And we try to touch everything on the other's body we can reach.
Sorry, it all has been said before. I just wanted to add my two cents. ;o)

I guess its pretty much been said but this is such a cool post I had to put in my two cents' worth!
I love it, it's so rough and sexy, makes you feel like you can't wait to be home in private, quite primal.
Even if it's your husband (not just a hot date but someone you've been with forever) it can certainly spice up the relationship.
Once my husband caught me in the kitchen at home and pushed me against the wall, man it was so hot.
Your leg (of the one against the wall) immediately goes up to latch around one of his legs, your hands are free to pull him closer by his bottom. You feel like you need to get closer and you press against each other using the wall as leverage. I imagine the guy might place one hand against the wall by her face and the other reaching round her waist to pull the bottom part of her body close.The roughness of the wall behind you and its unfamiliarity is a turn on. It's very domineering. He leans in close and you know he's going to kiss you but he'll take his time to make you want it more, and then... his lips would touch yours and become more urgent and demanding. I imagine there would be some clothes ripping or blouse being pulled apart .. depends how far you want to take it. You could even have the female being the one who puts her man against the wall - men love it when women take charge.
Shew... I gotta go. Need to find my husband.... !

Hmm, I did this a couple weeks ago on Halloween. We were both drunk and actually verbally decided to go against a wall (which I can't picture people doing sober). He said we should find someplace to sit, and I said, "Or we could just go to that wall over there." So I guess it was laziness. I don't remember it being at all uncomfortable even though I think it was a brick wall, outside.
I laughed out loud at "What do you do with your hands?" Like somebody else said, it's pretty much the same as making out anywhere. Your hands can go pretty much anywhere on the other person. I don't really think you need to go into detail with this unless you really want to up your word count. I remember wrapping my legs around him I think--I guess that is something different because without a wall this wouldn't be as easily done, unless you were lying down.
A weird thing to add--later on, somebody asked me if the guy had been sexually harrassing me or something and said, "You looked like you were trying to get away." I thought this was really funny but it probably did have something to do with the fact that I was pushed against a wall.

If the bf is strong enough, mine was, he might pick the girl up, girl wraps legs around guys waist and gets held up partially by the wall. That position doesn't last too long though. Guy either flops girl onto something like a sofa or bed or legs have to go down, which can lessen the heat of the moment somewhat, mostly cause it's a little awkward...

Ok I can't really add more to this as everyone else has already pretty much described it, but its HOT. It's amazing and like so many have said before me some of my best kisses were against a wall LOL. There's just something about having a guy throw you up against a wall and kiss you in that way that is utterly mind blowing. There was nothing I could think about other than that moment when our lips met fiercely and he took total control, it really was as if everything else just faded away...I didnt care that it was lunch time and anyone could walk past at any moment as it was near a pretty busy street.
----------Then there was the one where I dont think I particularly loved the guy and it was on a night out and I must have looked pretty uncomfortable because minutes later we were interrupted by the police, someone had gone and told them I was being harrassed lol that was so embarassing but to be honest I was glad of the interruption.
Wall Throws are best done with someone you are at least really into in my opinion.

THIS.
It is hot because it is primal and more than a little bit forceful. It makes you feel confident and sexy- like someone said before, it's hot because they can't wait long enough to take you somewhere else to kiss you.

Hate to be a wet blanket, but she better be just as much into him! Someone did this to me once, and because I wasn't thinking/feeling about him in that way (yet or ever, we were just going on a get-to-know you date) it seemed overly-dramatic. And the wall makes it double tricky to get things back to normal (if it is found he's not flipping your switch..now, I meant that figuratively, but yes, watch the light switch!). That said, yeah, it would be good with my guy!
