Preparing For The
Kiss
Previously, 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 a 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.
