that his woman, he is better able to kiss her. He must be
able to sweep her into his strong arms, and tower over her, and look down into
her eyes, and cup her chin in his fingers and 1 hen, bend over her face and
plant his eager, virile lips on her moist, slightly parted, inviting ones. All
of this he must do with the vigor of an assertive male. And, all of these are
impossible where. the woman is the taller of the-two. For when the situation is
reversed, the kiss becomes only a ludicrous banality. The physical mastery is
gone, the male prerogative is gone, everything is gone but the fact that two
lips are touching two other lips. Nothing can be more disappointing.
PREPARING FOR THE KISS
A paragraph back, we mentioned that the woman's lips were
slightly parted when she awaited the lips of her lover. There was a reason for
using this description. Always, in any sort of kiss, just before the male's lips
settle onto the lips of his partner, the female's lips should be slightly
parted. One reason for this is that cherry-red lips serve as a charming frame
for a row of gleaming, white, even teeth. The picture that confronts the kisser
is one that draws him onward. And even, months later, when he thinks back to the
kiss in the retrospect, he will remember that pretty little picture of the
pearls of teeth nestling in their frame of-cherries.
The deliciousness of a long-remembered kiss was beautifully
expressed in a poem 'called, "Three Kisses," in which occurred the verse:
I gently raised her sweet, pure face,
Her eyes with radiant, love sight filled.
That trembling kiss I'll ne'er forget
Which both our hearts with rapture filled.
Another reason for-parting the lips is that there is a
definite gratification the male obtains from the delicious odor that emanates
from his loved one's mouth. John Secundus, in describing a kiss,. said - that !&
lover's kiss was like:
"... every aromatic breeze That wafts from Africa's spicy
trees;"
The odor of a woman's hair can send shivers of joy coursing
up and down a man's spine. The odor of her body can convulse him with throes of
passion. Odors are as necessary to love as is love, itself. That is why it is so
essential that the lips be parted just before the kiss. And that is why the
breath should be kept always sweet and pure so that, when the lips art opened,
the breath will be like an "aromatic breeze." Sometimes it is advisable to touch
the corners of the mouth with perfume. But be certain that there is only the
faintest suggestion of an odor and no more. Another thing, lipstick is
definitely out in the kiss, because it comes off so readily. A very light coat
of lipstick should be worn so that, when it does come off, it will not serve to
betray you. Similarly, the teeth should be kept cleaned and polished. Nothing
can dampen a young man's ardor, or a young woman's for that matter, than a row
of brown-stained, unkempt teeth.
