"All right," came the dulcet tones, calm and encouraging. "If you have not already, kiss your partner once, softly, on the cheek." It seems that the hostess did in fact understand that some couples would move faster than others. "A kiss, even a chaste one like this, is more than just a simple mark of affection. It represents a gateway to a still stronger feeling of love and perhaps desire. We only kiss those who are truly close to us. Of course, we often now see that being watered down, but we also have to note that often the kisses of that kind don't actually touch anything but air. A true kiss, even a peck on the cheek, requires lip contact."<br/><br/>She paused, but only for a second. "Now let your hands trail down and begin undressing your partner. We wear clothes partly to protect ourselves from the elements, but all too often it is truly to protect us from each other and what we truly look at and feel. Being undressed is tantamount to being vulnerable. Yes, the risks are far greater, but so are the rewards if we are willing to take them. And allowing another to undress us is to entrust that person with our vulnerability.<br/><br/>"Maybe you will just undo a button. Perhaps two. Perhaps something will come off. Perhaps everything will. You will know how much feels right when you get there. Once you have, make sure to become acquainted with the treasure you have uncovered, both with your hands and with your body. Skin-on-skin contact is something we instinctively crave, seeking its comfort as much as we seek its excitement. Well... go on! What are you waiting for?"
