5.0 out of 5 stars great for beginning and experienced kissers, December 29, 2003

By 

george cutler (Portland, ME USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Art of Kissing (Paperback)

This is the best book on kissing -- period. Not only does it offer creative ideas for beginners, it has plenty to suggest for advanced kissers as well. Sure it deals with some kisses that you may have heard of before (like the eskimo kiss and the french kiss) but it treats them in depth so that even experienced kissers will learn something new. (By the way, if you think the eskimo kiss is just for kids you haven't read this book.) The best part of this book, though, is all the great romantic ideas it offers experienced kissers. It's down to earth and practical, like Ovid's THE ART OF LOVE, but devoted all to kissing. Who knew that lip-o-suction could be done in a pulsating action? Who else tells you how men and women respond differently to french kisses? Do you know how to do the Trobriand Islands kiss? This wonderful volume tells you everything there is to know about kissing and it's by an author who has done his research, having surveyed over 100,000 people! It's written in a romantic style that's appropriate for teenagers as well as adults. And because it's a whole book devoted exclusively to kissing, it's something you could give as a gift without embarrassing yourself. If you love to kiss, do yourself a favor and get it. I consult it before many dates and it always inspires me. After all, isn't that what a book on kissing is supposed to do?

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT!, April 15, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Art of Kissing (Paperback)

I've been going out with my boyfriend for 5 months now. Everything has been great but there had been one aspect of the relationship that was creating tensions. He didn't know how to kiss differently...just one way ALL the time. It was gets a little old, and getting to the point where I didn't want to get intimate and kiss. I had to someway ameliorate our relationship before we just ended it. Our five month anniversary was April 6 2000 and I bought him this book, and he laughed. We would hang out alone and try them out. It's improved our relationship 100% and I can't wait to kiss him when we're together! We both realized what we want "physically" out of each other in kissing and such. It was wonderful!

5.0 out of 5 stars Kiss! JUST KISS!, December 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Art of Kissing (Paperback)

Although people that kiss probably know this things... The book helps you seeing the kiss in another way, it has some interesting thoughts and the good part is the opinion of men and women... I think anyone will find at least something important to know from this book. So if you want to know what the opposite Sex like, then: BUY IT! But if you want to improve your relationship and to make someone feel in love, then I think you should start with books like "Light his fire" or "Light her fire" and "Then 10 Second Kiss". After you read these books, you can come and buy this one. Practice the kisses with your mate, because some of them are hard to do...
