Other authors describe four other kinds of kisses:
the straight kiss; the bent kiss; the turned kiss; the pressed kiss.
1)
When the
lips of two lovers are brought into direct contact with each other, it is called
a ‘straight kiss’.
2)
When the
heads of two lovers are bent towards each other, and when so bent, kissing takes
place, it is called a ‘bent kiss’.
3)
When one
of them turns up the face of the other by holding the head and chin, and then
kissing, it is called a ‘turned kiss’.
4)
Lastly
when the lower lip is pressed with much force, it is called a ‘pressed
kiss’.
There is also a fifth kind of kiss called the
‘greatly pressed kiss’, which is effected by taking hold of the lower lip
between two fingers, and then after touching it with the tongue, pressing it
with great force with the lip.
As regards kissing, a wager may be laid as to which
will get hold of the other first. If
the woman loses, she should pretend to cry, should keep her lover off by shaking
her hands, and turn away from him and dispute with him saying, ‘Let another
wager be laid.’ If she loses this a second time, she should appear doubly
distressed, and when her lover is off his guard or asleep, she should get hold
of his lower lip, and hold it in her teeth, so that it should not slip away, and
then she should laugh, make a loud noise, deride him, dance about, and say
whatever she likes in a joking way, moving her eyebrows, and rolling her eyes.
Such are the wagers and quarrels as far as kissing is concerned, but the
same may be applied with regard to the pressing or scratching with the nails and
fingers, biting and striking. All
these however, are only peculiar to men and women of intense passion.
