There aren’t that many experiences more nerve-racking than the first kiss. Jeez, when I remember mine, I remember this overwhelming anxious feeling of having no clue what I’m supposed to do. Back in 1942, LIFE magazine saw this as a problem too, and the only reasonable way to fix it, of course, was the “How to kiss” guide.
Intended to educate actors, the photo guide shows a “wrong” and “right” way of kissing in a true 1940s fashion. It covers the key elements of the romantic activity (this is the moment where you put your science hat on) like how to kiss on an armchair or how to choose the right distance between you and your partner.
Do you agree? How would your kissing guide look like?
(h/t: vintag.es)
“WRONG: They look too juvenile if they are so stand-offish”
“RIGHT: Boy and girl should stand close together and not hold each other too tightly”
“WRONG: Sprawling all over the chair is considered ungraceful”
“RIGHT: Girl should sit on arm of the chair and boy should hold her firmly but lightly”

Share on FacebookYES! There are no other positions to kiss. Sorry, if you are on a bed, lying down, on the stairs, etc. NO KISSES FOR YOU!
Load More Replies...If the kiss is good enough, it's worth it.
Load More Replies...Is it correct etiquette to grab both buttocks, or is it just one? :)
For the chair one, I don't think any look right....also, what is the point of this guide?
the last one is like" how to kiss when your partner has passed out "!!!
sweet article bro... did someone find these images and was just too excited to post that they didn't realize that they were making an article of two images that don't have any real meaning..... seems legit.
I think it was published to show how different media (and life in general) was decades ago.
