There aren’t that many experiences more nerve-racking than the first kiss. Jeez, when I remember mine, I remember this overwhelming anxious feeling of having no clue what I’m supposed to do. Back in 1942, LIFE magazine saw this as a problem too, and the only reasonable way to fix it, of course, was the “How to kiss” guide.
Intended to educate actors, the photo guide shows a “wrong” and “right” way of kissing in a true 1940s fashion.

Do you agree? How would your kissing guide look like?
