THE "SPIRITUAL" KISS

For instance, there can be kisses exchanged merely in intense glances. A sort of "spiritual kiss." can pass between the adoring eyes of a pair of lovers. The hot blooded Latin races know the power of such kisses.

Their fiery temperaments are ever questing for new delights, for variations, for delightful and artful ways of adding to the pleasure of love. There is a poem extant written by a young Spanish poet to his sloe-eyed, raven-tressed senorita. No doubt it was sung by him under her balcony while the romantic moon streamed down liquid beams. But the poem quite amply describes this point of kissing with things
other than your lips.

Then she kisses with her eyelids,
Kisses with her arching eye-brows,
With her soft cheek softly rubbing,
With her chin and hands and fingers,
All the frame of Manuela,
All her blood and all her spirit,
All melt down to burning kisses.

There, Perhaps fifteen feet away from him, was the light of her love. Yet, by means of her eyes, she was
able to kiss him so that their love continued to flower.

PUT VARIETY INTO YOUR KISSES

It is with the last few lines of this poem that our next subject for discussion concerns itself. As wasmentioned before, the true lover is not satisfied with only one or two contacts. He wants n6thing to beheld from him. It is for that reason that, when kissing a girl, after. you have given sufficient time to the
kissing of her lips, you should vary your kissing by diverting your zeal to other portions of her face.

Robert Herrick, who wrote, many beautiful love lyrics in his day, has a poem which ideally synthesizes
this idea of varied kisses. In it he says:
It isn't creature born and bred
Between the lips all cherry-red;

It is an active flame that flies
First to the babies of the eyes;
Then to the cheek, the chin and ear;
It frisks and flies-now here, now there-
'Tis now far off, and then 'tis near;
Here and there and everywhere.
Let us say that you have revelled in a sweet, long kiss. Suddenly, you see your loved one's eyes close as
though in a moment of weariness. Gently detach your lips from her's and raise them up to her closed
eyelids. Drop a kisslet first on one eyelid and then on the other. Feel the rolling orb quiver under your
lips. Then , when you have done this, run your lips down along the line of her nose, stopping at odd times
to purse them into a tiny kiss. When you reach the wrinkle of her nostrils, bury your lips deeply into the
curve and kiss little niblets into first one and then the other. If her eyes still are closed, repeat the process.
But return to the lips.
Never forget this important injunction, "Return to the lips," for they can never become satiated with
love's ardent kisses. The little kisses that you have deposited on her eyes and her nose serve only to vary
the Menu of love. They are but spice to the course of love's banquet which should always be the "lip
kiss."

THE VACUUM KISS

The Vacuum Kiss

This time, when your eager lips have been deposited on the eager lips of the girl, try to vary the kiss. For instance' instead of using the soul kiss, try what is known as the "vac uum kiss." Here you start off by irst opening your mouth a. trifle just after you have been resting peacefully with closed lips. Indicate to your partner, by brushing her teeth with the tip of your tongue, that you wish for her to do likewise.

The
moment she responds, instead of caressing her mouth, suck inward as though you were trying to draw out
the innards of an orange. If she knows of this kiss variations your maid will act in the same way and
withdraw the air from your mouth. In this fashion, in a very short while, the, air will have been entirely
drawn out of your mouths. Your lips will adhere so tightly that there will almost be pain, instead of
pleasure. But it will be the sort of pain that is highly pleasurable. That may sound odd but, nevertheless,
it is a fact. Pain becomes so excruciating as to become pleasure. This subject will be gone into very
shortly in regard to what is known as the "bite kiss." But, at present let I us continue with the "vacuum
kiss."

This kiss must, of necessity, last a comparatively short time. There is tog rill4ch strain on the delicate
mouth tissues and the muscles tire very easily. It is .for that reason that this kiss should be shortened.However, there is a special technique to be used to terminating it. When you decide that you have had
enough of it, don't suddenly tear your mouth away. At least, don't do it if there are other people present in
the house. For, they will become startled by the sound of a loud report which will result if you act
suddenly. Any vacuum when suddenly opened to air gives off a loud popping noise. The procedure is
simply to open first a comer of your mouth. You will hear a faint hissing sound when this is done.

Immediately, you will find the pressure in your mouth lessen. The muscles will relax. And a delicious
sense of torpor will creep over your entire body, giving it a lassitude that is almost beatific

THE FRENCH "SOUL" KISS

But don't stop at this.Surely, there is more to your tongue than merely its tip. Probe further. Go deeper. Gently caress ,eachother's tongues. For, in doing this, you are merging your souls. That is why this kiss was called the "soul"
kiss by the French who were said to be the first people to have perfected it.. The French have always
been a liberal minded people. And, it is because of the fact that they droppedPuritanism many years ago,that they were able to. perfect themselves in the art of love and, particularly, in the art of kissing.
Learn from the French.

Learn also from the Old Romans , especially Catullus, whose love poems to Lesbia have lived throughhe ages because of the sincerity of his passion and the genius of his ability to express his emotions in the
form of beautiful poetry. For it was Catullus who wrote:
"Then to those kisses add a hundred more,
A thousand to that hundred so, kiss on!
To make that thousand up to a million;

ENJOY THE THRILLS OF KISSING

But don't be in a hurry I As in all matters pertaining to love, don't hurry the process of kissing. A kiss istoo rapturous a thing to be enjoyed for the moment and the moment only. Linger longer on her lips thanyou have ever lingered before. Forget time. Forget everything but the kiss in which you are in the midstof. Don't be like that bashful young lover who, after a sweet, long kiss, drew his lips away from tlips
of his charmer. Immediately, She burst out into tears.

"What's the matter?" he asked solicitously.

"You don't love me I" she said between sobs.

"But I do!"
"Then why did you draw your lips away?"
"I couldn't breathe," he said naively.
Breathe? Who wants to breathe, who even wants to think of breathing in the middle of an impassioned
kiss? Breathe through your nose if you have to breathe. But kiss, keep on kissing, as long as there! Is one
minim of breath in you. Kiss, as Byron said we should kiss, with the "long, long kiss of youth and love."
Recently, in Chicago, there was held a marathon kissing contest to determine Which couple could hold
their kiss the longest without being forced to separate. One pair was able to hold their kiss for fifteen
hours. Think of that! Fifteen hours. And yet the naive lad stopped kissing because be couldn't breathe.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning must have spent many an ecstatic night of kissing with the poet, Robert
Browning, if we are to judge from an excerpt from her "Aurora Leigh," in which she described a kiss as
being "As long and silent as the ecstatic night."
Another poet, unknown, but certainly one who knew whereof he speaks, wrote the following poem which
deserves to be quoted in its entirety.
Oh, that a joy so soon should waste,
Or so sweet a bliss as a kiss
Might not forever last!
So sugared, so melting, -so delicious.
The dew that lies on roses,
When the morn herself discloses,
Is not so precious.
Oh, rather than I would it smother
Were I to taste such another.
It. should be my wishing
That I might die kissing.
At this point, it should be explained that the lips are not the only part of the mouth which should be

HOW TO KISS GIRLS WITH DIFFERENT SIZES OF MOUTHS

Another question which must be settled at this time concerns the size of thekissee's mouth. Aconsideration of this factor is important. Where the girl's mouth is of the tiny, rosebud type, then oneneed not worry about what to do. Merely follow the directions as they were outlined above. However,there are many girls whose lips are broad and generous', whose lips are on the order of Joan Crawford's,
for instance.. The technique in kissing such lips is different.

Different Sizes of Mouths Require a Different Technique in Kissing
For, were one to allow his lips to remain centered, there would be wide expanses of lips, untouched and,
therefore, wasted. In such cases,. instead of remaining adhered to the center of the lips, the young man
should lift up his lips a trifle and begin to travel around the girl's lips, stopping a number of times to drop
a firm kiss in passing. When you have made a complete round of the lips, return immediately to the
center bud and feast there. Feast there as did that lover of Fatimas, in Tennysen's poem, in which it was
written that: "Once he drew, with one long kiss, my whole soul through my lips-as sunlight drinketh
dew."
Then, sip of the honey.

Like the bee that settles on the fragrant pistils of a flower, and sips in the nectar for honey, so should you
sip in the nectar from between the lips of your love. And it is nectar. For there is in this mingling a
symbol of the holy communion o f the spirits of two soul-mates, joined together in the bonds of an
indissoluble love. It was a kiss such as this which caused the writer of an old German novel to write:

HOW TO APPROACH A GIRL

In kissing a girl whose experience with osculation is limited, it is a good thing to work up to the kissingof the lips. Only an arrant fool seizes hold of such a girl, when they are comfortably seated on the sofa,and suddenly shoves his face into her's and smacks her lips' Naturally, the first thing he should do is toarrange it so that the girl is seated against the arm of the sofa while he is seated at her side. In this way,she cannot edge away from -him when he becomes serious in his attentions.

This done, on some pretextor another, such as a gallant attempt to adjust the cushions behind her, he manages to insinuate his arm,first around the back of the sofa and then, gradually, around her shoulders. If she flinches, don't worry. If
she flinches and makes an outcry, don't worry. If she flinches, makes an outcry and tries to get up fromthe sofa, don't worry. Hold her gently but firmly, and allay her fears with kind, reassuring words.

Remember what Shakespeare said about "a woman's no! However., if she flinches and makes an outcry,a loud, stentorian outcry, mind you, and starts to scratch your face, then start to worry or start to getyourself out of a bad situation. Such girls are not to be trifled with ... or kissed. It is such as they, in most
cases, who still believe the story 6f the stork which brings babies because of the consequences of a kiss.

But if your arm is comfortably reposed across the girl's shoulders and "all's right with the world)" then
your next step is to flatter her in some way. All women like to be flattered. They like to be told they are
beautiful even when the mirror throws the lie back into their ugly faces.
