The Art of Kissing

Before the sexual revolution ushered in the age of the totally liberated libido, rites of courtship included the formal act of osculation perhaps better known as kissing. In this hilariously out-dated guide, originally published in 1936, Hugh Morris expounds on this wonderful ritual. It s all about why people kiss, preparing for a kiss, the thrills of naughty kissing games, not to mention how to put variety into your kissing. There are instructions on the French Soul Kiss, the Vacuum Kiss, the Eyelash Kiss, the Nip Kiss, the Dancing Kiss, even the Surprise Kiss (don t try this one at home!). You ll come away from this book with a smile, a slight puckering of the lips, and a few winsome thoughts on how far liberation has really taken us.
