The author of The Art of Kissing said Tuesday that the vacuum kiss, the upside-down kiss, and the Trobriand Islands kiss are all forms of oral pleasure. At a multimedia presentation at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, William Cane said, "All of the action is in the lips."
Cane said the purpose of his "kissing show" was to increase the quantity and the quality of kissing. While Cane read excerpts from his instructional book, three couples demonstrated various types of kisses such as: the Eskimo kiss, the butterfly kiss, the lip-o-suction kiss, and the French kiss.
"If you can eat spaghetti, you can French kiss. You've got all the tongue movement you need," said Cane. Statistics showed that 96% of the respondents said the French kiss was their favorite and most intimate kiss. He recently published a 47-page booklet on how to French kiss.
Cane said college campuses are full of great places to kiss. He suggested kissing at party or while listening to loud rock music. "If you don't have a partner, practice on a picture in a magazine or on a doorknob," said Cane.
Cane said that kissing isn't just about technique; it's also about relationships. In general, women are more interested in kissing than men, said Cane. Cane said, "Kissing is a safe way to get to know your partner." Cane said there is a one in 70 million chance of contacting AIDS from kissing. However, college students should know that mononucleosis does spread through the mouth, said Cane.
Cane, a former English professor at Boston College, has appeared on over 100 radio and television shows. His book was published in 19 countries and in 17 different languages. To find out more about Cane and the art of kissing visit the website: www.kissing.com
