Most young adults would be mortified if their parents sat them down along with their fiance for a lesson in kissing, but most young adults aren't Jessa Duggar.
Most parents aren't Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar, either. That's putting it mildly.
As you know if you watch 19 Kids and Counting online, Jessa and Ben Seewald got schooled in lip locking this week by her folks, and it was cringe-worthy.
For us, at least. Jessa took it in stride as much as anyone could be expected to ...
The 22-year-old 19 Kids and Counting star, who is now married to Ben, sought out advice from Michelle and Jim Bob on the Tuesday, March 17 episode.
Above, the clip filmed before Jessa and Ben's nuptials last November featured the Arkansas family patriarch and matriarch getting their learn on.
The Duggars, as fans know well, do not kiss or even engage in full frontal HUGS until they're married. So Jessa was still a kissing virgin at this point.
To wit, proud papa Jim Bob sought to impart his fountain of romantic wisdom.
"Both of you'll like the physical relationship, but [for] the guy [it] will be kind of like the main focus," patriarch Jim Bob told the soon-to-be married couple.
"But for a woman," he cautions. "Communicating is the most important thing, and so taking time each day to communicate, that will mean the world to her."
The Duggar parents often accompany their kids on dates in order to maintain "accountability" and "keep things from going in the wrong direction," per Jim Bob. The girls are fine with this, as being alone with men puts them in grave "moral danger." When the parents aren't available, their older siblings will often tag along, making every date a group date and a family affair.
Even in the kids' late teens and early 20s, mom and dad are creeping on their text messages. When Ben Seewald jokingly wrote to fiancee Jessa, "Give me a ring," Jim Bob actually jumped in on the group text, writing "No ring yet." With a smiley face emoticon. Seriously, he did that. Jim Bob needs his own Instagram so he can start posting screen shots of this stuff.
This moment you see here between Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard would not have been permitted until the couple was married. Side hugs are the preferred method of PDA in order to prevent any further temptation or hanky panky, as has been well documented on 19 Kids and Counting. The Duggars love their side hugs so hard. Any touching beyond that? Save it for your wedding night.
This is probably an obvious one if you know anything about the Duggars. The family does not smoke or drink. They do, however, enjoy the occasional sugary dessert or getting high on life and love.
Safe to say the Duggars are in the minority, having not read Fifty Shades of Grey (the movie adaptation of which they won't be seeing either, we're guessing). The Bible warns not to "think about gratifying the pleasure of the flesh," so instead the family studies Christian text and not E.L. James' erotic fiction. The Duggars' option is probably better-written.
Avert your eyes, Michelle Duggar! The family matriarch feels that dancing encourages "sensual" feelings, while Jessa Duggar has said that she feels modern music promotes "sex, drugs, all that type of stuff." Instead, the family chooses to play gospel music together.
Yes, seriously. There is Duggar-approved swimwear (it's conservative and not very revealing, spoiler alert) but when it comes to the beach, that's not happening. At all. Blame the general public. "It's just too hard for the guys to try and keep their eyes averted," Michelle explains. If we happened upon Kaley Cuoco doing beach yoga, we might see her point. But we also wouldn't complain.
Even if you took out the boozy parties and sexy nurses and cats looking to get frisky, Halloween would still be a no-go for the Duggars. According to the parents, magic and witches are "part of a demonic realm God wants us to stay away from," and this holiday qualifies. To each their own.
We don't actually know if there's a definitive rule against the use of birth control in the Duggar household, but it's clearly not something the family is thinking about, or using, ever. Just saying. Once those vows are exchanged, fornication and procreation tend to happen early and often, ensuring that the great state of Arkansas will never have a population shortage of really nice, quirky, family-first, side-hug loving human beings.
It's definitely something to think about, the difference between the physical and the emotional connection, and how crucial communication is in a relationship.
Jessa and Ben went on to explain how they express their feelings to one another. "I think we communicate pretty well, what do you think?" Jessa asked.
"Yeah, we like to talk, but it's more than just talking. You can be talking, but you've also got to communicate," Ben added, and that is a key distinction.
Then it was time to dispense with the marriage counseling get down to business, as Jim Bob grabbed his wife to display how to properly kiss a woman.
Necessary head tilts and all. Hey, the man is a seasoned veteran at this.
It's unclear if Jessa and Ben took detailed notes, but the couple - who had their first kiss in private on their wedding day - appear to have figured it out.
