exactly what is a 'naked kiss'

I think what Kelly means -- using the language of the street which she learned as a hooker -- is that it is an empty, hollow kind of kiss, one that evinces no emotion, and reveals the pervert behind it. The nakedness comes from its exposing the lack of feeling in the person bestowing the kiss. At least that is what I surmise from having just seen the movie. But honestly, there is very little rhyme or reason to this very odd film. I enjoyed it immensely but it was like watching a lunatic stroll down the sidewalk lost in his own world. Fascinating but also bewildering. and just a little unsettling.

"Just what about the "naked kiss" marks it as the kiss of a pervert?"
*********************************************************************
Because you're naked. And you're kissing. That makes you a pervert.

I guess Kelly wanted the fairytale ending really bad. To ignore the naked kiss and still try to marry the guy. All that prince charming BS Grant was spewing was really enchanting I suppose.



>>Oh, well that's different. Nevermind!<<

I was confused about it too...I thought prostitutes wouldn't kiss johns.

Listen carefully: she doesn't say "naked kiss" she clearly says "neked kiss". BIG difference on several levels.

In the Constance Towers interview on the Criterion Blu-ray, she says that Fuller told her that the prostitutes he had known in his days as a newspaperman used the term "Iron Kiss" to describe the kiss of a pervert. She didn't detail exactly what that meant, but I would guess "cold" or "unfeeling" or perhaps "overeager" ("hard"). Fuller changed it to "Naked Kiss" as it was a more salable title and got the idea across better.
