or "vacuum kissing" has been indulged in and both lovers
lie back tiredly, looking into each other's eyes , the-young man should lean
over the face of the girl. But, instead of implanting his lips on hers, he
should bring his cheek into direct contact with her cheek again. Then, when this
is done, he should lower his eyelash so that they enmesh with the eyelash of his
partner. This, of course, is done one eye at a time. And when the enmeshing
process is complete, each should gently raise and lower his or her eyelids. The
contact of the hair of the eyelash is one that is almost indescribable. Suffice
it to say, it is a charming bypath in the meadows of love that is pleasant,
provocative and yet not exhausting.
THE "PAIN" KISS
A while back, mention was made of the "Pain kiss." It is
with this seemingly paradoxical pleasure that we shall deal with now. First of
all, it is necessary to explain that, although an act can be painful, it can
still be pleasurable. The explanation is merely another indication of the
variability of human nature. To begin, there are some people who derive an
extreme pleasure out of being whipped or burned or beaten. There is no rational
explanation for this strange, delight. The fact remains that they react
pleasurably to pain. These people are called masochists. Similarly, there are
other people who derive the same pleasure out of being the ones who inflict pain
or perform the beating. Their abnormality, too, is inexplicable. They are called
sadists.
The point is this: these people have these strange desires
in extremes. But normal people have similar desires but they are not so strong.
They are present only in minute degrees. That is why some of us deliberately
uncover ourselves in cold weather or continue to pick at a sore tooth although
the act pains us. It is for this reason that most of us are able to derive
pleasure from the "pain kiss."
The "pain kiss" is simply a tiny bite, a love nip.
Catullus, who knew his kissing, if we are to judge from the
many poems he left on the subject, once rote:
Whom wilt thou for thy lover choose?
Whose shall they call thee, false one, whose?
Who shall thy darted kisses sip,
While thy keen love-bites scar his lip?
THE "NIP" KISS
Horace, another Roman, whose kissing proclivities have come
down through the ages because of his love poems, also wrote something about the
"nip-kiss" when he said:
Or on thy lips, the fierce, fond boy
Marks with his teeth the furious joy.
