Lips. Lips are wonderful things: useful,
decorative, sensitive, erogenous. Many of the best things that life has to
offer are experienced through the lips: fine wine, fancy cakes, a consensual
kiss, crack cocaine. They are marvellous, fabulous devices, like sculpted scar
tissue, like little chipolatas, like a soft seagull of sensual promise. Parts
of the lips have evocative names like the vermilion border, and the cupid's
bow. They are also full of nerves and blood vessels and muscles, and the skin
there is thinner, making these perfect, pink protuberances extremely vulnerable
to twisting, pulling, scratching, pinching and tearing. They don't like being
bitten either.
In body part terms, they are weak, effete, as if their epicurean
life has made them weak and decadent, like swooning dandies. Punish them, test
them - they will not stand up to any great scrutiny. Oh, and sometimes lips
have hair attached to them, in the form of a moustache or goatee / standard
beard. This hair can be pulled, causing eye watering discomfort. A most
effective technique.
