Kissing Classes

Monday, February 14th, 2005

Happy Valentine’s Day! Looking over at my Yahoo News feed I ran across this article about a kissing class being offered in Seattle, WA. Sounds like fun!

As Byrd guides couples through exercises, such as kissing only the bottom lip or licking an ear, soft music plays. In a calm, breathy voice she tells them to “tease, surrender and risk” touching their partner in ways they’ve never tried before.
