Orangina, I always figured that good kissing was a matter of empathic ability. I also believe that skill wouldn't matter nearly so much if we lived in a world where people, especially less powerful people, could make a friendly suggestion about technique without having to find new plans for the afternoon. (Oh look! I found an opportunity for good feminism on this blog! Thank Goddess, I was getting worried.) Glad your plans worked out well.
And I don't think Clear was trying to make you academicize your entry, I think he was suggesting that you devote a couple years to something fun--if it inspires you. Plus, it's my view that studying this question directly takes a feminist stance by speaking the unspoken things. The book would, then say, "You are a bad kisser! Please stop choking me." Or whatever. That seems, not only marketable, but important.
