Analysis of First Kiss
The first time is factitious
somewhat sketchy
somewhat game
The first time is suspicious
somewhat tetchy
somewhat lame
The first hug is judicious
somewhat scary
somewhat keen
The first hug is propitious
somewhat wary
somewhat lean
The first kiss is ambitious
somewhat pushy
somewhat set
The first kiss is lubricious
somewhat mushy
somewhat wet
