The Art of Kissing

"Good morning, you. Yeah, I couldn't sleep so I've been reading. <pause> Have you ever heard of this book? It’s called "The Art of Kissing: A 1936 Guide for Lovers" by Maria Popova. Let me just read you a bit. “Like a 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.” <pause> Yes, I know how much you love hearing me and this is so much better than a menu. Shall I continue? <laugh>

<sultry, very sultry>

"I want you to sip the nectar from my lips. I like reading to you, because you like to listen. This is even better than a recipe. <clears throat> “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 others bodies. Be so close that the rise and fall of each others bosoms is felt by one another."

Does this give you any ideas? Whaaaat? You don’t have to go to work! Why would you want to get out of this warm bed? You stay right there, and I'll come and climb in with you. Oh, you! Never mind 'the children and your responsibilities!' I'll show you what a truly warm bed is! <pause> Oh, you want me to apply the reading? Hmmm. First, to make this truly work, we have to be naked. Then I would kiss you just like the book described. With as much bodily contact as possible.

<slow and sultry>
