in the midst of. Don't be like that bashful young
lover who, after a sweet, long kiss, drew his lips away from the lips of his charmer.
Immediately, She burst out into tears.
"What's the matter?" he asked solicitously.
"You don't love me I" she said between sobs.
"But I do!"

"I couldn't breathe," he said naively.
Breathe? Who wants to breathe, who even wants to think of breathing in the middle of an
impassioned kiss? Breathe through your nose if you have to breathe. But kiss, keep on
kissing, as long as there! Is one minim of breath in you. Kiss, as Byron said we should
kiss, with the "long, long kiss of youth and love."
Recently, in Chicago, there was held a marathon kissing contest to determine Which
couple could hold their kiss the longest without being forced to separate. One pair was
able to hold their kiss for fifteen hours. Think of that! Fifteen hours. And yet the naive
lad stopped kissing because be couldn't breathe.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning must have spent many an ecstatic night of kissing with the
poet, Robert Browning, if we are to judge from an excerpt from her "Aurora Leigh," in
which she described a kiss as being "As long and silent as the ecstatic night."
Another poet, unknown, but certainly one who knew whereof he speaks, wrote the
following poem which deserves to be quoted in its entirety.
Oh, that a joy so soon should waste,
Or so sweet a bliss as a kiss
Might not forever last!
So sugared, so melting, -so delicious.
The dew that lies on roses,
When the morn herself discloses,
Is not so precious.
Oh, rather than I would it smother
Were I to taste such another.
It. should be my wishing
That I might die kissing.
At this point, it should be explained that the lips are not the only part of the mouth which
should be joined in kissing. Every lover is a glutton. He wants everything that is part of
his sweetheart, everything. He doesn't want to miss a single iota of her "million-pleasured
joys" as Keats once wrote of them. That is why, when kissing, there should be as many
contacts, bodily contacts, as is possible.
Snuggle up closely together. Feel the warm touch of each other's bodies. Be so close that
the rise and fall of each other's bosoms is felt by one another.
Get next to each other.
"Snuggle Up Closely Together"

than your lips. After your lips have been glued together for some time, open them
slightly. Then put the tip of your tongue out so that you can feel the smooth surface of
your kissee's teeth. This will be a signal for her to respond in kind. If she is wholly in
accord with you, if she is, truly, your real love-mate, then you will notice that she, too,
has opened her lips slightly and that., soon, her teeth will be parted. Then, if she is all that
she should be, she should project the tip of her tongue so that it meets with the tip of
yours.
Heaven will be in that union!
Lava will run through your veins instead of blood. Your breath will come in short gasps.
There will rise up in you an Overpowering, overwhelming surge of emotion such as you
have never before experienced. If you are a man, you will clutch the shoulders of your
loved one and sense a shudder course through you that makes you pant. If you are a
woman, and being kissed, you will feel a strange languor passing through your limbs,
you-r entire body. A shudder will go through you. You will moan in the delicious
transports of love. And, in all probabilities, you will go faint because the blood in your
veins will be rushing furiously into your entire system and away from your head. Thus,
you will be unable to think any longer. You will only be able to feel, td feel the most
exquisite of pleasures that it has been your lot to feel.
THE FRENCH "SOUL" KISS
But don't stop at this.
Surely, there is more to your tongue than merely its tip. Probe further. Go deeper. Gently
caress ,each other's tongues. For, in doing this, you are merging your souls. That is why
this kiss was called the "soul" kiss by the French who were said to be the first people to
have perfected it.. The French have always been
