sense\
of morals which
has persisted through the ages. To the blue -nos ed Puritans of the past anything that
concerned love was dirty, pornographical. John Bunyan's writings show wh\
at these,
Puritans thought of' the kiss. He wrote in big infamous "The Pilgrim's P\
rogress," "the
common salutations of women I abhor. It is odious to me in whomsoever I see it. When I
have seen good men salute those women that they have visted, or that hav\
e visited them, I
have made my objections against it; and when they have answered that it \
was but a piece
of civility, I have told them that it wa s not a comely sight. Some, indeed, have urged the
holy kiss; but then, I have asked them why they make their balks; why th\
ey - did salute
the most handsome and let the ill -favored ones go." Perhaps old Bunyan thought that way
because be was one of the "ill -favored" who went unkissed and were let "go."
But, nowadays, people have taken a broader outlook on life. Our plays ar\
e becoming
more civilized and less stiff. Our arts are no more censored by laws. Ou\
r books are being
written about subjects that no self -respecting author would ever have dared to put into a
book. Birth -control, divorce and the science of marriage are common subjects for boo\
ks.
Even the strange vices of mankind are brought out into the open and disc\
ussed and not
allowed to fester in the dar k chambers of censorship. Yes, books like Van de Velde's
"Ideal Marriage" and Stope's "Married Love" Ire openly sold in bookstore\
s. But,
nowhere, do we find a book which instructs people in the art of kissing,\
an art which is an
absolute essential to a hap py -life, as we shall discuss in the oncoming pages of this book.
Is it because we are not absolutely freed from the shackles of prudishne\
ss? In certain
parts of this country, men have been arrested for kissing their wives on\
the street! Is this
civilizati on?

ctions of kissers,
historical episodes of kissing together with examples from the literatur\
e of the world in
which kisses were the subject. So, gird up your loins, pucker up your li\
ps and let's to the
kissing arena!
WHY PEOPLE KISS
What happens when a man and a woman kiss?
That is to say, what happens, to the various parts of the body when two \
people in love
join their lips in bliss? Years ago, before our biologists knew of the e\
xistence of the
glands in our bodies, one writer quoted a scientist as saying t hat "kissing is pleasant
because the teeth, jawbones and lips are full of nerves, and when the li\
ps meet an electric
current is generated."
What nonsense! what utter nonsense!
In the first place, two people kiss because they are satisfying, a hunge\
r within them, a
hunger that is as natural as the hunger for -food, water and knowledge. It is the hunger of
sex that drives them to each other. After that, hunger has been satiated\
, then comes the
hunger for a home, for children and for marital happiness. This hun ger is instinctive, that
is, we are born with it, all of us, and we cannot learn it or acquire it\
in any way.
WHY KISSING IS PLIEASANT
Once this hunger for the opposite sex evidences itself, there occurs in \
the human body
what is known as tumescence which, in simple language, is the rhythmical contraction of
the various muscles of the body together with the functioning of certain\
glands, just
which glands science has been unable to say definitely. Gland specialist\
s know, by
performing certain operations, th at the adrenal, the pituitary, the gonad and certain other
glands, control the sexual behavior of human beings. It is these glands \
that re -act, that
secrete what are known as hormones into the blood which, in turn, carrie\
s them into the
various organs effe cted by a sexual reaction.
Therefore, it can be seen that it is the partial satisfying of the sex -hunger that makes
kissing pleasurable.' Electricity is used for turning motors and lightin\
g lamps and heating
curling irons. But electricity 4oes not give com plete satisfaction to the kiss.
But enough of dry science!
