The Art Of Kissing - Part 6

THE DANCING KISS

A very pleasant way to kiss is found in the “dancing kiss.” Here, again, it is the closeness
of the bodies of the participants that adds to the enjoyment. What more could a pair of
lovers ask for than a dimly lighted dance floor, the tender, rhythmical strains of a waltz
being played by Wayne King, their arms around each other, their eager young bodies
kissing each other in a myriad of excitable places, the while, their cheeks meet in
glowing, velvety strokes? Naturally, in such situations, the rules of social etiquette w ill
not allow the pair to enjoy an extremely appropriate “lip kiss.” Although this can very
easily be accomplished in the privacy of one’s parlor while the radio is broadcasting the
music. In fact, the “electric kiss” can be ideally performed under these circumstances.
But, when dancing in a public place, the only kisses allowed would be those surreptitious
ones stolen under the straying eye of the chaperone. Under the pretense of whispering
pretty nothings into your partner’s shell of an ear, allow your lips to touch her earlobe, her
cheek and her chin. A few covert eye-kisses, perhaps, can be stolen in this manner, too.
But, these stolen sweets should suffice the happy couple until they return home,. Then,
stimulated by the forepleasure of these previous non-lip kisses, the pair can indulge in all
the variations listed in this booklet, to their hearts’ and their lips’ content. The while they
recall, perhaps, those lines from Sir John Suckling’s “Ballad of a Wedding,” which went:
Oh, they sudden up -and rise and dance;
Then sit again, and sigh, and glance;
Then dance again, and kiss.

THE SURPRISE KISS

A most charming manner of kissing is called the “surprise kiss.” This is performed when
one of the parties has fallen asleep, on the sofa, let us say. On entering the room, when
the other sees his lover asleep, he should tip-toe softly over to her. Then, lowering his
head slowly, he should implant a soft, downy, feathery kiss squarely on her lips. This first
kiss should be a very light one. -But, thereafter, the intensity of the kisses should increase
until the sleeping one has awakened. and, of course, even beyond that. The effect of such
an awakening to a sleeper is almost heavenly. For, while in the midst of a dream, a
pleasant one, most likely, for it will concern the other half of the couple, she feels
vaguely, faintly, as though it were the touch of a butterfly’s wing, a subtle kiss on her lips.
Naturally, in the depths of her sleep, she imagines that it is part of her dream and the
result. is a pleasant sensation, indeed. Then, gradually, athough still asleep, she feels the
kisses continue. And the pleasantness continues. Then, as she starts to come out of her
sleep, she realizes that the kisses are to real for a dream. But she is sure that she is
dreaming. And so, immediately, a relapse from the happiness sets in and a twinge of
sadness comes over her because she knows that’, instead of being with her lover, she is
only dreaming of him. Imagine, then, her extreme gratification, when, while thinking
these drab thoughts, she feels the actuality of an intense, ardent kiss on her lips. Her heart
flutters wildly. Her pulse runs riot. Perhaps she is not asleep, she argues to herself. Then
she opens her eyes. And she sees the darling face f her beloved bending over her. And
she feels the sensuous touch of his lips on hers. Truly, no awakening can be more
pleasurable!

KISSING UNDER THE MISTLETOE

Perhaps, in conclusion, it would be appropriate to make mention of a few kissing customs
which have intrigued mankind. For instance, there is the rite of kissing under the
mistletoe, at Christmas time. The origin of this custom is uncertain. Suffice it to say, it
must have been started by some woman because, in, it, She rule is that if a woman is
caught standing under a sprig of mistletoe, any man has the right to kiss her,
peremptorily, without asking her permision or begging her pardon. Here is one time when
social convention doses its eyes to lover’s delights. For, then, you can seize hold of the
girl with impunity and smack her to your heart’s content without being socially ostracized
for it.

KISSING GAMES

One wonders at the prevalence of kissing games in this civilization. Games on the order
of “Postoffice,” “Kiss the Pillow” and innumerable others which have been devised for
the jovial disports of lovers. In these games, because they are games, it is perfectly
legitimate for two people to lass. In fact, in the game Postoffice” this kissing is
encouraged behind closed doors where- the happy couple are alone in a room. The game
is so widespread that comment in regard to the manner in which it is played would be
extraneous here. But, what would make an excellent topping off for this booklet, would
be a conjecture as to the reason for the prevalence of such games, even during the.
dreaded Victorian -times , when etiquette was so strict that the dictum was made
forbidding the placing of a book by a female author next to a book written by a man!
These kissing games existed and shall continue to exist because man and woman must
kiss. In fact, man is the only animal who uses the kiss to express his love and affection.
Dogs, cats and bears lick their offspring. Horses and cows rub noses and necks. Birds
nestle together.
But, only mankind kisses.
Only mankind has the reason, the logic, the happy faculty of being able to appreciate the
charm, the beauty, the extreme pleasure, the joy, the passionate fulfillment of the kiss!
Nature kisses, in her way, but nature hasn’t the brains to profit from the kiss. Only man
can do this.
Perhaps it would be appropriate to conclude this summary of the art of kissing with an
excerpt from Shelley’s immortal poem in which occur the following lines:
See the mountains kiss high heaven,
And the waves-clasp one another.
No sister flower would be forgiven
If it disdained its brother.
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea;
What are are these kissings worth
If thou kiss not me?
