The Background: If I was told I could only perform one erotic “act” with a partner for the rest of my days, it would be kissing. As my grandparents would have had it “necking on” or as my 80s teen self would call it “snogging”. A brit expression that is both a bit gross but somehow correct. The US has “making out” or “First Base” (what is it with Americans and sports / military analogies?) Parking , canoodling or sucking face (!)
A good kiss of this nature can be almost transcendental when performed well, an infinite loop of mental and physical pleasure. It’s both innocent (first base) and as erotic as the mind permits.
Thing is, you can’t really go about kissing strangers like this. Of course, there are events where you can, but let’s face it, these sorts of events tend to go waaay further than a heated smooch!
The Brief: Facilitate and promote this health-giving, gently erotic activity.
The Idea: A Kissing Club.
Held in a comfortable, inviting venue, couples and individuals arrive to spend the evening kissing one another. After an allotted time, everyone swaps.
The rules of consent are of course paramount. “No” is taken as no, nothing personal, move on. Likewise, one can “tap out” at any point without issue. Same sex/switching can be signaled by a wearable button (or other visual device, like hankies in pockets etc).
No other shenanigans are allowed at Kissing Club. For that, “get a room” or swap numbers.
Good Fit For: Breath mints, dental practices, deodorant cos, lip balms, hotels etc
