Part 1 |
IT is said by some that there is no fixed time or order between the embrace, the kiss, and the
pressing or scratching with the nails or fingers, but that all these things should be done generally
before sexual union takes place, while striking and making the various sounds generally takes place
at the time of the union. Vatsyayana, however, thinks that anything may take place at any time, for
love does not care for time or order.
On the occasion of the first congress, kissing and the other things mentioned above should be done
moderately, they should not be continued for a long time, and should be done alternately. On
subsequent occasions, however, the reverse of all this may take place, and moderation will not be
necessary, they may continue for a long time, and, for the purpose of kindling love, they may be all
done at the same time.
The following are the places for kissing: the forehead, the eyes, the cheeks, the throat, the bosom,
the breasts, the lips, and the interior of the mouth. Moreover the people of the Lat country kiss also
on the following places: the joints of the thighs, the arms and the navel. But Vatsyayana thinks that
though kissing is practised by these people in the above places on account of the intensity of their
love, and the customs of their country, it is not fit to be practised by all.
Now in a case of a young girl there are three sorts of kisses:
The nominal kiss
The throbbing kiss
The touching kiss
When a girl only touches the mouth of her lover with her own, but does not herself do anything, it is
called the `nominal kiss'.
When a girl, setting aside her bashfulness a little, wishes to touch the lip that is pressed into her
mouth, and with that object moves her lower lip, but not the upper one, it is called the `throbbing
kiss'.
