Which would you druther...

I confess I am sucker for kissing. This includes kissing books, kissing pictures, thinking about kissing, talking about kissing, and getting tips for better kissing. I'm not completely preoccupied with the subject but sometimes it's more interesting than say... everything. I just asked a friend what he thought was more interesting than kissing and he couldn't come up with anything else either. Ha! Proof.

Several years ago I found these reprints of 1936 pamphlets that are to help those of us who are a bit more Napoleon Dynamite than Don Juan. Guilty. Anyway, I thought these pamphlets were funny and I was curious what another generation would have to say about courtship. This week I'll be posting some of my findings. No longer will you need to sheepishly hang out in the "Sexuality" section of Barnes and Noble or casually flip through Cosmo while hoping the check-out line goes slowly.

"Another question which must be settled at this time concerns the size of the kissee's mouth. There are many girls whose lips are broad and generous. The technique in kissing such lips is different. For, were one to allow his lips to remain centered, there would be wide expanses of lips, untouched and, therefore, wasted."
"Then, sip of the honey. Like the bee that settles on the fragrant pistils of a flower, and sips in the nectar for honey, so should you sip in the nectar from between the lips of your love. And it is nectar."

Hm, and I thought RAID was the appropriate approach with bees.

I pick number 2. Very kissable!

It really would be a pity to waste any expanse of lip while kissing. I want to hear their strategies for couples with mixed mouths, say one thin-lipped and one thick. How does the thin-lipped one satisfy the other?
