A Little More Juju

Text

projectgutenberg:

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.

- Vatsyayana, The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana, translated from the Sanskrit by Shivaram Parashuram Bhide, Richard Francis Burton and Bhagavanlal Indrajit (1883) [full text]

 I really don’t know how to comment on this one. But my mental image of a dude taking “both lips of the other between his or her own” is making me laugh hysterically, like a dude’s trying to eat my head or something.

Oh, Kama Sutra.
