Happy Birthday!
Hey Everyone!
It's been a year since Episode 1 of Making Out. In honor of that, and of my actual birthday, this was the cake that my parents got me for my birthday.
I'm sure they're so proud of me.
So Happy Birthday, gang, and keep making out! I can't believe a year went by so fast.

Episode 48: Strangers
When people kiss someone different from them, that person to some extent represents more than just themselves. They represent all Russians, all lawyers, all only children, etc. By kissing one (or a few) people feel like they have made contact with a community through a person. And not just any contact, but a sumblime mutual appreciation. By kissing a dancer, for example, I can say "Dancers like me! Dancers kiss me! And in this moment, I am making out with Dance!"
The largest such group is the group of strangers. By kissing a stranger, I am kissing all of the humanity I don't know. This may have a special significance living in a city because I am surrounded by hundreds of trillions of strangers. We barely acknowledge each other and we don't know each other's name, but by kissing a stranger I get to feel that, though we pass quietly on the street and in the subway, we like each other. And that makes the city's strangers into kind of a mysterious wonderful place to be.

Episode 47: Metal in Your Mouth
There are three kinds of mouth-metal I can think of: tongue rings, mouth rings and braces. After much thought, I think I prefer mouths the way the Lord made them.
I've only ever kissed someone with metal in their mouth once. It was a tongue ring, kind of a small rod with small orbs on either end. I recall it was kind of cool, but definitely a novelty. I have no idea how it felt for her. But I remember in college seeing girls with tongue rings and thinking, "there is someone with a wild sexual side" and also thinking "there is someone who's not making out with me." This is why, the one time I got to make out with such a person, I thought "ha ha! I've achieved this kind of making out!" But that alone is novelty, not a sustainable basis for making out enjoyment.
The other kinds of metal, lip rings and braces, pose the same level of novelty, but make a mouth look less human and more... gross actually. There are ways for lip rings to be cute, but I'm afraid they'll get in the way, accidentially hurt you. And braces are only cute because they suggest innocence and up until you wonder how clean the teeth underneath can be. And the more you think about why they suggest innocence, the more you get creeped out at yourself.
So ultimately, I'm sad that I haven't experimented here more. But a cool personality and/or outfit and/or general attractiveness can do a better job than metal to show how wild or innocent you are.
