Now The Truth Can Be Told – Cecile Du Bois<\/a> Has Her First Kiss<\/p>\n

Two years ago, I had to pull this entry.<\/p>\n

My 15-year old friend Cecile had her first kiss at a NFTY (North American Federation of Temple Youth — Reform) conference at the LAX Hilton last weekend. Her new boyfriend is named Dean*. I talked to him for 15-minutes Sunday night to make sure his intentions were honorable.<\/p>\n

Cecile is not a confident kisser, so I gave her and her mother Cathy Seipp<\/a> some tips, for which they were eternally grateful:<\/p>\n

* Don’t drool on your partner.<\/p>\n

* Don’t dive straight for the larynx.<\/p>\n

* Tonsil hockey is not the best metaphor for romantic kissing.<\/p>\n

* Make sure your breath is fresh. Carry around gum just in case.<\/p>\n

I’ve been told that my first kisses are overly strong on technique and lacking in heart.<\/p>\n

While Cecile chatted with Dean*, I did my best fish-lips imitation, cracking her up.<\/p>\n

Chicks dig it when I contort my face like that and then write about it like a 15-year old girl.<\/p>\n

I didn’t have my first kiss until my Junior year in highschool. I was not prepared when Alice drove her tongue down my throat.<\/p>\n

A few months later, I read a book on how to be a confident kisser and over the coming years I implemented its suggestions. Now I think I will update the book for the new generation.<\/p>\n

Cecile also had her first date today — it was with a different guy.<\/p>\n

“It was just an outing with a guy friend,” Cecile claims.<\/p>\n

Cathy needed to know if I thought she was condescending.<\/p>\n

I paused and thought for a longer time than Cathy liked before I said, “Onanism Today does have you down<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

“I’m not condescending all the time,” she said.<\/p>\n

I agreed and she felt much better, bouncing back to her normal superior mode when she was able to point out some other journalist who was more condescending than her.<\/p>\n

I got Cecile’s permission on this entry. She said she needed the hits.<\/p>\n
