The electric kiss

As one famous historian, in Europe, for the rich, "the eighteenth century was a time of refined elegance and pleasant life"; gave it little importance to religious principles; the nobles were dressed to the nines, wore wigs, lace and velvet clothes and lived in luxurious houses, where everything was done with the concern to please and impress guests, especially the most important people. 

What mattered was the look and especially keep up with fashion.
In this environment, the demand for new attractions and was very large and, between them, electrical phenomena were great success - one of the fads of the time was the electric shock! In Paris, the priest Jean-Antoine Nollet (1700-1777), French physicist goer court received dozens of people in your household willing to try the "delicious" feeling of an electric shock.

There were demonstrations demanding fanciful productions. In one, a person lying - sometimes a child - attached by insulating silk, was suspended to the ceiling of a darkened room, and touching the feet in a electrostatic machine, sparks loosened fingers. In another, people placed themselves in a row and holding hands, received a shock when the first one played Electrostatic machine.

O priest Nollet, that way, did an entire company of the royal guard jump while before King Louis XV.

This type of demonstration, based on the discovery that the human body is a good conductor of electricity and ignorance of the serious risks that it offered, combined with a libertine bourgeoisie, led another successful season - the electric kiss: a young woman was placed on an insulating platform, playing an electrostatic machine, inviting other young people to experience the taste of your lips electrifying ...
