your loved one. After that, the technique calls for no
specific action. Kissing, like loving, is instinctive.
ELECTRIC KISSING PARTIES
Some few years ago, a very peculiar kissing custom arose
which deserves mention here because, from it, we can learn how to adapt the
method to our modem devices. At that time, when young people got together, they
held, what was then known as, "electric kissing parties." Young people are ever
on ' the outlook for novel ways of entertaining themselves. In fact, when ether
was first developed as an anesthetic, the young bloods of the town used to form
"ether-sniffing" parties in which they got a perfectly squiffy ether "jag." But
to return to the "electric kisses." An excerpt from a contemporary writer will,
perhaps, give us some idea of what happened.
"The ladies and gentlemen range themselves about the room.
In leap year the ladies select a partner, and together they shuffle about on the
carpet until they are charged with electricity , the lights in the room having
been first turned low. Then they kiss in the dark; and make the sparks fly for
the amusement of the onlookers."
The same sort of experiment could be performed nowadays, on
cold, dry nights when the air is overloaded with electricity. But be certain
that neither you nor your partner touches each other after shuffling furiously
on the carpet with your feet. Merely lean over slowly and, when your lips are
about half an inch apart, slow the process down even more until the spark jumps.
However, considerable practice should be had before this kiss variation can be
done successfully. The natural reaction to this sort of shock is to pull away
from each other. But, try to resist this natural impulse because, if you do not
kiss the moment after the shock has been perpetrated, the pleasure will be all gone.
Once you have practiced this for Some time, you will become
so inured to the slight shock that you will seek more potent electric shocks.
These can be obtained with the use of an electric vibrator or in fact, any
device that is worked from a battery and a coil which steps up the weak 3 volts
of the battery. Shooting galleries have electricity testing devices of this
nature which have two handles. No matter what you use, the method is as
following: first you take hold of one pole of the live wire, of the handle of
the machine, if that is what you are using. Then, your partner should take hold
of the other pole, or handle. This done, bring your lips together until there is
about an eighth of an inch separating your lips. At this moment, turn the
rheostat that increases the current. As soon as the charge is strong enough, a
sudden, intense spark will jump the gap of your lips. Again, learn not to flinch
but to seize hold of the opportunity of bringing your lips together in a grand,
climactic kiss. The advantage of this, method is that you can regulate the
electrical charges go that, when you become inured to one strength, you can
increase the current almost indefinitely.
A word of warning,
however, is apropos here. Be satisfied with the current generated by this
battery set. Don't be like a young friend of mine who discovered that the
battery set, even at its highest output, was too weak for him and his partner.
Being of an experimental nature, he decided to see what would happen were he to
use the ordinary house current as the electrical stimulus. And
