The Sloppy Wet Kiss as Salvation, An Alternative to Therapy and Reality

     If I could start and end each and every day with a sloppy wet kiss,  I don’t think anyone out in the world at large could ever bring me down. I know what you’re thinking. Your strength comes from within. You think you’re the only one who’s been to therapy? I still know how a long, wet kiss affects me, and it’s much more uplifting than therapy and the effects can last for an entire ten or twelve hours as I replay the moment in my mind.

     I know everyone focuses on the big “O. But for me, the thrill is always the kiss. No. I’m not some weirdo who doesn’t want the rest and is intent on hours of foreplay with no hurrah at the end. But if I were forced to choose between the two by some perverse S&M dominatrix (and I don’t even do S&M really), then I’d choose the kiss every time. Just thinking about my most recent lingering liplock, leaves me weak at the knees and giddy.  I’m all about the face really. And as long as she doesn’t have four arms and a tumor the size of a watermelon protruding from her torso, the body is secondary for me.

     I see a woman’s kiss as all healing. It erases all the hard edges we’re forced to endure daily. It calms me, pumping me full of endorphines that seal me in a perfect bubble of pleasure, immune from many of the unpleasant realities that take a toll on us if we’re weak and open to them. I know I sound like a lovesick teenager when I write like this, but believe me, if you’re gonna be a fool on paper, or the web, then do it in full color. If it’s worthy of your thoughts and dreams, it’s certainly nothing to be ashamed of. Poets rule and mean people suck, like the bumper sticker claims.

     A woman’’s eyes say it all. The tenderness and the longing in her eyes, moist with emotion, takes me places more perfect than any other place I’ve ever been, complete with fireworks and wild abandon, as one of the only true escapes that doesn’t harm you ultimately.

     Maybe the other reason I believe many of our answers are in her kiss is because I believe that only someone who truly loves you could kiss you every morning and every evening with such enthusiasm. And that love could carry you through anything life serves up. Sex can be mechanical and boring when you’re not into the person. But a long kiss with a woman I love wakes up my entire body and embraces my soul.

     And what do you think the hourly rate for a therapist who could do that for you would be? None of us could afford it. Here’s wishing you many sloppy wet kisses in your future.
