Enthusiastic About Kisses
Here is something experience has
taught me. The men who have q
purely friendly affection for me
have never betrayed any frantic
desire to kiss me. When they be-
gin to get enthusiastic about kisses,
one OF the queer changes that take
place in the emotional laboratory
of a man is working A new ele-
Lent is there. The purely friendly
is mixed with or negatived by It.
And this is what I say to you.
You are not broadminded. You are
mixed minded. You are longing for
love and playing with fire. You are
taking the signs and symbols OF
love and deliberately pretending
that they stand for friendship. But
they DO NOT.
