An author has written an advice book called 'The Art of Kissing back in 1936', where he explains, with the help of his poetic wisdom, the art required behind kissing your lover back in those days.

In the book, Hugh Morris wrote that a man must be able to sweep a woman into his strong arms, tower over her, look down into her eyes, cup her chin in his fingers, and then bend over her face and plant his eager, virile lips on her moist slightly parted, inviting ones.

However, he pointed that all of these are impossible when the woman is the taller of the two, News.com.au reported.

Morris further explained that in kissing a girl whose experience with osculation is limited, it is a good thing to work up to the kissing of the lips.

He claimed that the man has to first allay her fears with kind, reassuring words and the next step is to flatter her in some or the other way.

Morris then explained kissing a woman according to the size of her mouth, saying that there is no problem if the mouth is small, but incase of women with broad and generous lips, the technique in kissing such lips is different because wide expanses of lips are left untouched and therefore wasted.

Therefore in this scenario, Morris advised the men to lift their lips up a trifle and move around the girl's mouth and after making the complete round, return immediately to the centre and use more tongue.
