Some virgins don’t even know how to kiss.
The promo for TLC’s new reality show Virgin Diaries is currently making the rounds on the Internet for what may be the most awkward kiss caught on camera. The young married couple, just pronounced husband and wife, appear to eat each others faces in a rather unsettling —and haunting—manner.
A little over a week ago, the Daily Dot reported on redditer Sacamato’s landing a spot on the show based off a post he made describing his ineptitude with women. It’s not surprising that Reddit has multiple threads on the promo, which undoubtedly helped spur the video’s success. Last night the promo had less than 80,000 views. At press time, it had half a million.
No one wants to be mocked, or embarrassed, least of all on national television, especially during a supposedly intimate moment. To prevent such a scene from happening again, the Daily Dot has compiled the best kissing tutorials for your viewing pleasure.
