Part 1 |
When a man kisses the upper lip of a woman, while she in return kisses his lower lip, it is called the
`kiss of the upper lip'.
When one of them takes both the lips of the other between his or her own, it is called `a clasping
kiss'. A woman, however, only takes this kind of kiss from a man who has no moustache. And on
the occasion of this kiss, if one of them touches the teeth, the tongue, and the palate of the other,
with his or her tongue, it is called the `fighting of the tongue'. In the same way, the pressing of the
teeth of the one against the mouth of the other is to be practised.
Kissing is of four kinds: moderate, contracted, pressed, and soft, according to the different parts of
the body which are kissed, for different kinds of kisses are appropriate for different parts of the
body.
When a woman looks at the face of her lover while he is asleep and kisses it to show her intention
or desire, it is called a `kiss that kindles love'.
When a woman kisses her lover while he is engaged in business, or while he is quarrelling with her,
or while he is looking at something else, so that his mind may be turned away, it is called a `kiss
that turns away'.
When a lover coming home late at night kisses his beloved, who is asleep on her bed, in order to
show her his desire, it is called a `kiss that awakens'. On such an occasion the woman may pretend
to be asleep at the time of her lover's arrival, so that she may know his intention and obtain respect
from him.
