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 joined in kissing. Every lover is
a glutton. He wants everything that is part of his
sweetheart, everything. He doesn't want to miss a single
iota of her "million-pleasured joys" as Keats once wrote
of them. That is why, when kissing, there should be as
many contacts, bodily contacts, as is possible.
Snuggle up closely together. Feel
the warm touch of each other's bodies. Be so close that
the rise and fall of each other's bosoms is felt by one
another.
Get next to each other.
"Snuggle Up Closely Together"
And, this same thing applies to the mouth in kissing.
Don't be afraid to kiss with more than your lips. After
your lips have been glued together for some time, open
them slightly. Then put the tip
