Let's consider it, shall we? Herring is a delicate fish, with hundreds of tiny little bones that runn along its flesh. Of course, their not too tough, you could probably eat them, but you also risk the chance of having one caught in your throat, and choking. It takes patience, it takes finesse. The unfamiliar person would mash the flesh with their fingers and fish out the bones, pulling them away from the flesh and consuming that little bit at a time. But, any smoked herring aficionado will tell you, you must put a piece in your mouth and delicately massage the flesh off the bone, simultaneously feeling for the bones themselves, separating it so that you bring the flesh to the back of your throat, while bringing what bones you have to the front of your teeth. With enough practice, you can pull every bone out, having such a feel for its soft, airy texture that you'll never worry or even think about choking while eating fish again.
Now consider the later. Rushing in to kiss a woman, mashing your tongue in there without patience or without any finesse. How might that end? If she's drunk, she probably won't notice, but in that case, she probably won't remember you later. If you're into that sort of thing, you're into that sort of thing. Otherwise, any well to do girl might slap you hard, or laugh in your face after the fact. But if you can remember that herring, or, when eating herring, remember that girl, your tongue may become an appropriate guide that not only communicates soft, delicate touch, but that says, I can lead you, all-the-while making her feel safe, delicate, and not worrisome about choking or any kind of bit lip- unless, of course, she's into that sort of thing. You may very well make her melt in your mouth (pardon the pun) if you can remember how to eat smoked herring. With tenderness, patience, and finesse.
Doesn't that sound appetizing. But, a word of advice: just don't eat herring before kissing a woman.
