Jessa Duggar & Ben Seewald share a kiss on Instagram: wanton devilry?

jessa ben kiss

As we discussed on Monday, Jessa Duggar (21) married her fiancé Ben Seewald (19) over the weekend. Their engagement was brief and I’m assuming that Jessa is already knocked up, just because… Duggar. I read some of the coverage of their wedding and the only thing that surprised me is that Jessa and Ben refused to kiss during their wedding ceremony. They wanted their FIRST KISS (yes, their first kiss ever) to be in private. But now that they’ve gotten their private first kiss out of the way, Jessa decided to post their first social media kiss on Instagram. She posted the above photo with the message: “It’s great living life with your best friend! @ben_seewald”. She’s also changed her name to Jessa Seewald. Sigh…

I’ve seen some sites describe the kiss as “sultry” or “sexy”. But am I alone in thinking it looks awkward? Jessa looks like she knows how to kiss and the wanton harlot is even trying to get some ungodly tongue action. But Ben has his lips firmly together and it’s almost like he’s not really into it. And yes, I just analyzed the body language of a Duggar kiss photo. Hey, if they didn’t want me to analyze it, they shouldn’t have posted it on Instagram!! My verdict: Jessa is a harlot. UNCLEAN! If Jesus wanted you to French, you would have been born in France, chica.

Meanwhile, this happened:

When you’re dating a Duggar, there are certain rules you must follow and that includes no full-frontal hugging before you’re married. So when Jessa Duggar’s proposal was aired on the family’s TLC reality show “19 Kids & Counting,” viewers were shocked when the 21-year-old gave her fiance Ben Seewald a hug — and not of the side variety the Duggars made famous.

After a long scavenger hunt lead to Seewald’s romantic proposal, the young couple were so overwhelmed they broke one of their own courting rules but that wasn’t the first time.

The now-married couple held hands in prayer the night before Seewald proposed. When Jessa’s father Jim Bob called for everyone to join hands in prayer, wife Michelle was surprised when her daughter and future son-in-law obliged.

“Not them?” she asked her husband who agreed it was okay as they were being chaperoned and it was for the purpose of praying. But hugging and some hand holding were all that Jessa and Ben shared before their wedding. The couple didn’t even kiss at the alter, opting to save the intimate moment when TLC’s cameras weren’t rolling.

UNCLEAN! Holding hands for prayer and FRONT HUGS?!?! What kind of devilry is this? BE GONE UNCLEAN SPIRITS!!!

    His lips could not be closed any tighter. Wow. Sensual.

    • Loopy says:

      bwahahahahaha

    • MG says:

      Yes! Awkward! She looks somewhat sexy…he looks unnatural and terrified.

    • QQ says:

      This looks exactly like what two people that don’t know how to kiss look when trying to look Fake passionate

      ….and Gross.. also GROSS

      • HH says:

        No… I think this is what happens when *one* person doesn’t know how to kiss. Jessa looks like she’s been doing this for a while. Ben, on the other hand…. Homeboy looks like he needs step-by-step instructions (with pictures).

      • QQ says:

        Word… but a diagram would probably constitute a sin and instructions would be Erotica??

        Not that it matters cause tbh cause like I said before about these people: Brood Mare Gon Brood Mare for Jesus, they aren’t kissing for pleasure, just for insemination

      • kpoodle says:

        @QQ My thoughts exactly.

      • Franny Days says:

        y’all are all killing me. thanks for the laughs, ladies :).

      • Brittaki says:

        I don’t think he necessarily looks like he’s not into it, it looks like he’s just a freaking lousy kisser. Which is just as bad in a different way. Happy rest of your life, Jessa. Eek.

      • Belle Epoch says:

        Hold on a doggone minute. They can’t go to the beach or wear bathing suits for fear if arousing impure thoughts in other people… But they can post a kissy picture on Instagram? How does that figure? I think SHE thinks this is a super sexy photo and she’s making everyone jealous of her hot new life.

        Can’t stand these bunny rabbits. All of them.

    • Francesca says:

      They’ll figure it out soon enough,

    • doofus says:

      seriously…she looks like she’s into it and WANTS it, and he looks like he wants to be ANYWHERE else.

      he may be one of those asexual people, and the idea of marrying into a family like this where sex is done on the HUSBAND’S terms would appeal to him. they do it or, rather, DON’T do it as often as he says. so, if he doesn’t want to do it, which is what it looks like, it doesn’t happen?…

      • Gina says:

        Of course she looks like she’s into it. She was raised to be her husband’s sex slave. I watched when sister Jill got married. Jim Bob the father was in the confessional and said through teary eyes that as the woman Jill was looking forward to the wedding vows, and as the man Derek was looking forward to the wedding night. The creep was talking about his daughter losing her virginity. This family is a freak show.

      • Hazel says:

        Gina, I agree. The more I watch, the more creeped out I get. Way too much emphasis on sex & procreation, beginning at such an early age with this indoctrination. They seem such nice people, but…. I, too, am surrounded by Southern Baptists & sure, they’re good neighbors, but you wouldn’t want to hear what they have to say about you!

    • Ryan says:

      Such sensual. Wow. Very kiss. He looks like he’s sleeping or dead.

    • Hazel says:

      Yeah, sigh, that’s the problem when waiting to get married to do all this (kissing! handholding! hugging!)–most people are not fully-fledged intellectually or emotionally at this age.

  2. Loopy says:

    I am surprised they are allowed to be on social media, where all the ‘evils’ of the world occur.

    • Katey says:

      I’m surprised they didn’t kiss at their wedding… but I’d bet anything that their first kiss as marrieds wasn’t their first kiss ever. I bet Jessa got the guilts about lying in front of a thousand ppl.

  3. bopit says:

    looking forward to the Christmas pregnancy reveal!

  4. swack says:

    Kiss looks very awkward. It is not sexy or sultry.

  5. Murphy says:

    Hey–once they’re married they can dry hump in public and its all ok. As long as the transfer of authority has taken place-all is allowed.

    • Jackson says:

      Isn’t that the truth? I’m sure she had to get the kid’s ok to post that photo. Apparently, permission granted.

  6. L. says:

    WTF…. Thats all I have. Ohhh and these two will now bone like rabbits. I hope they have their own house for the sake of their parents sanity. ! lol

  7. Lori says:

    I kinda feel bad for this boy too. I know he’s said some dumb sh!t but he’s a married man and he’s younger than Bieber!!!!!

  8. aims says:

    Bizarre. I can’t even wrap my head around this. Talk about giving your kid weird hang ups about sex and intimacy. I also hate the way they treat the girls, but that’s for another time.

  9. ToodySezHey says:

    Why are these hillbilly freaks generating press.

  10. Soporificat says:

    Is it weird that I feel very, very uncomfortable looking at photo? Kaiser’s analysis of it is hilarious, but also why are they displaying this to us? It feels creepy for some reason.

    • Green Girl says:

      Yeah, I never understand why couples post pictures like this. I don’t care what someone takes pictures of with their SO (with their consent and knowledge, of course), but posting it on social media is just weird to me.

      • Soporificat says:

        Yeah, I think it is kind of lame when anybody does this. I am also not a fan of in your face PDA. It just seems rude and self centered. But, these two in particular are squicking me out. Maybe because they seem so focussed on making sure everybody know that fer sure they are having sex now! Well, I mean, we kind of assumed that because you got married and most people have sex afterwards, at least once, lol, there is not reason at all to be posting stuff like this.

    • Wren says:

      I was searching for a way to describe the picture and you put your finger on it. It makes me feel uncomfortable.

      Not a huge PDA fan here but mostly I’m just like, “Ugh, must you? Whatever moving on.” But for some reason this makes me feel kinda gross. Maybe it’s the fact that they scream about their chasteness and how they Never Even Kiss or Hardly Touch before marriage, like it’s the central focus of their being. And now their married, so…….. It feels like I have way too much info on their intimate lives, and that makes me feel uncomfortable.

  11. Delta Juliet says:

    She looks totally into it. He…does not. Damn poor girl.

    • AntiSocialButterfly says:

      100% accurate, IMO. This cannot bode well… the appetite disparity will be problematic. Aren’t guns a phallic symbol? She has shown such love and intimacy with firearms in prior photo ops, it’s too bad he’d probably rather keep his in a gun safe rather than having it cleaned & oiled frequently (sorry!).

      • BoredAndExtremelyDangerous says:

        Hahahaha!!! Ooo… I think I may have wet myself…

        This post and all the comments are absolutely hilarious!

    • Size Does Matter says:

      Agree on sympathy for the girl, but this is like Duggar porn. I feel dirty just looking. And I give MAJOR side-eye to the idea that he hasn’t had any prior “relationships.” So I’d assume he knows at least something about kissing mechanics.

    • Erinn says:

      But at the same time… maybe … just maybe that means he won’t be impregnating her every 5 minutes? I mean… maybe he feels weird about it on social media. But I’m just like ‘oh maybe he won’t be absolutely sex obsessed and constantly getting her pregnant” which wouldn’t be a terrible thing. Pretty crappy for her though, if she has more of a sex drive than he does.

      • Seapharris7 says:

        I tend to think it’s odd that a 19 y/o boy isn’t all about the sex… That’s how normal 19 y/os are. Imagine if you’ve had to abstain from any sexual stimuli & now you’ve just married a sex slave… He should be way more about the sex.

      • Erinn says:

        The only thing I can really think of Seapharris7 is that maybe the kid was so shamed about sex growing up that he feels weird about it regardless of hormones? I guess they’ve only been married for a little bit, so I guess he might just be more put-off by how awkward he is, too. Hopefully they’ll have a relatively normal sex life in the end – and I feel weird even typing that, but whatever.

    • amireallydefendingtheduggarsreally says:

      Maybe he’s not comfortable kissing in front of the camera. My husband kisses me the same way…. in public.

    • Mon says:

      Who knows, maybe he just does not like kissing…women….or he is a really bad kisser! He definitely gives out very creepy vibes though.

  12. FingerBinger says:

    He looks like he’s taking a nap not kissing his wife.

  13. elisabeth says:

    I think they just searched instagram for #sexykisses then posed themselves accordingly.

    “Put your hand on the back of my head”
    “We have to take another one, I forgot to close my eyes”
    “Don’t open your mouth”
    “Do the black and white filter, your beard is giving me whisker burn”
    “I said no tongue Ben, don’t let the devil into our marriage”

  14. Gina says:

    Open the mouth just a tad Ben. How glorious that first kiss for a 19 year old which happens on his honeymoon. I feel sorry for them but they know nothing else so this is their normal. Please take Jinger out of detention, off the meds and let her escape. She is the big coffee drinker who longed for a city boy a few seasons back. Oh Jinger you should have just left and sent them a note from NYC! Dummie.

  15. Jaderu says:

    I wonder if Jesus ever bangs his head on his desk?

  16. Talie says:

    Yeah, I’m gonna guess she’s kissed someone before.

  17. Jess says:

    Yeah, awkward. I can’t even think about the first time the older Duggar boy kissed his wife at their wedding, makes my stomach knot with embarrassment. Good for Jessa for doing things differently at her wedding. I’ve always thought she’d end up being the rogue Duggar, she’s so strikingly beautiful and seems like a rebel, had hopes for her! But, spitting out baby time now. I can’t help but feel sorry for her, hopefully she’s having some naughty fun with her husband before she gets knocked up, ugh, it takes awhile for sex to become more enjoyable and I hate that she’ll be chasing babies before she gets to experience other parts of life.

  18. Splinter says:

    The procreation is the real deal, who cares if he does not seem like a good kisser? Poor girl.

  19. Jonesy says:

    How much ya wanna bet after old man Duggar saw the photo, there was a phone call to these two begging a prayer session? Next up — Jessa shows off her new short hair cut and starts wearing pants.

    • lunchcoma says:

      They believe in all the kissing and sex in the world after marriage, and I’m sure he’s grinning that she got two days of attention instead of one.

    • Bucky says:

      I almost wonder if he was so eager to marry so young because his sexual desires aren’t church-approved, and so he figures if he just gets married as soon as possible and does his best to have a family and bury anything else deep down, he’ll get by OK?

    • Hazel says:

      Ha! I think it was probably Daddy’s idea to post that! He’s starting to creep me out a bit with regard to his daughters. And Baby Boy Seewald didn’t get such a winner for a dad, either. When his son expressed nervousness at proposing, dear ol’ dad’s response was–hey, everybody’s got to do it, so just get on with it. Probably his approach to sex, too.

  20. I Choose Me says:

    Agree that she looks like she knows how to kiss. He looks like he fell asleep.

  21. L says:

    They had a front hug before getting married?! *shock* Well, now we know why Dad let Jessa have a blush dress on for the wedding-once you get that front hug you are a sullied maiden. /sarcasm

  22. lunchcoma says:

    So, basically, they didn’t kiss at the altar so that they could get an extra day’s news coverage.

    I wonder if anyone’s ever mentioned to them that chasing fame can be a kind of idol worship?

  23. KelT says:

    I have nothing against this family and respect them for their beliefs, but have had questions about this pairing. He comes across as more immature, and she lacks so much emotion on camera but is overly telling on social media. They are young and impetuous and definitely playing out their immaturity for the world to see. I’m sure it’s something they will live to regret.

    • Hazel says:

      Agree. I thought he was kinda dumb, poor guy, but in more charitable moments I just think he’s immature. No job (other than Duggar handyman), no education (some online courses, allegedly a policital science major), & a more media-savvy wife. Good luck to them, but I don’t think they’ve truly built the character they’ll need in life. Maybe they’ll learn.

  24. Green Is Good says:

    I suspect Jessa is in for a lifetime of feeling “cold and wet” with this guy. Women have their own version of blue balls.

  25. Kiddo says:

    Does anyone else wonder why Goodnames is suspiciously absent during this devilry? She’s behind this, I just know it.

  26. Jess says:

    From what I understand it was a personal decision to wait until there married to kiss for the first time. Jim bob and Michelle kissed before they were married. I watched the engagement special and I thought Ben seemed kinda slow.

    • Alex says:

      Oh, come on. That personal decision about the private kiss was to get more spin on the story the next day, and look how well it worked out- they got even more publicity. There is probably nothing these two would like more than a spin-off. Beyond Jessa’s allowance for this show, they don’t have much money coming in. I can’t wait till they all have to earn a living wage, after TV. Good luck with that!

    • Hazel says:

      Agreed. I don’t believe for a second that Ben had the thinking skills to devise that engagement day. That was totally the product of TLC’s producers, at least one of whom is a big fan of The Amazing Race or Survivor (all those ‘tasks’ in various locations).

  27. pf says:

    I don’t know if this has been said before, but Jill and her new husband look like the real deal while this couple does not. Jill and Derick seem lovey dovey and actually into each other, whereas everything about Jessa and Ben has been awkward. The courtship, the conversations, this kiss… I have a feeling that Ben is a famewhore who saw the Duggars as an attention-seeking vehicle, and Jessa was just happy to leave the nest.

    • Wren33 says:

      I’ve never watched an episode of the show, but from pictures I’ve seen here and elsewhere, I agree. The other couple just looks genuinely in love. Part of that might be my bias about why a 19-year-old is so eager to marry.

  28. Stephanie says:

    Wow that looks awkward. To say the least.

  29. L says:

    So they can hold guns and shoot gun but they can’t hold hands or kiss?? I am not a patent but I think the Parenting priorities are a little off…😬

  30. Anotherdirtymartini says:

    Well, their kiss isn’t as terrible as this, thankfully!

    http://youtu.be/U-SRcCGsBbc

  31. INeedANap says:

    It looks awkward. Calling it. Because this stuff takes practice!

    And now I am sure they are gunning for a reality show.

  32. cat says:

    I am so annoyed that they are ”celebrities”. I’ve never watched that show and never plan to do so. US Weekly writes about them constantly. Why?

    • Stephanie says:

      I have no idea why they are celebrities either. I tried watching the show a few times, couldn’t get through even one full episode. It was sooo boring

  33. Carrie says:

    She looks like she somewhat knows what’s going on…he on the other hand looks awkward and stiff as hell, and not in the good way.

    Edited because HAHAHAHAHA I just noticed his nose.

  34. Nikki says:

    I’m giving them a pass on this. If Ben is anything like my husband, he was probably just doing what needed to be done so she could take the selfie and get over it. Anytime I take a selfie with my husband, he looks miserable because he hates them.

  35. Anastasia says:

    It blows me away that they literally go from no front hugs, no kissing, hardly any physical contact to BAM! SEXING! Literally in the space of 24 hours (last day not married to first day married).

    Thats quite a jump, no pun intended. My Mormon cousin was a virgin when she married at 26, but I’m positive they made out before the wedding at least.

  36. daisyfly says:

    I stomached 20 minutes of watching these two.

    He pings my gaydar hard and she’s ready to spread her legs…er wings on screen now that she’s free from Joe Simpson, er, Jim Bob Cletus Duggar. That kiss screams BEARD BEARD BEARD and not in the literal sense. They’re both smiling and happy because they’re both getting what they want – ladyboy Ben gets his sham marriage (complete with bona fide religious intolerance!) so he can have a “best friend” without fear, and she gets the internet!!! Because, as they say on Avenue Q, “The Internet Is For Porn!”

  37. serena says:

    How shocking.

  38. Jess says:

    Just saw a report saying these two did the deed in a church room right after the ceremony and got busted by one of her sisters. I really hope that’s true and I can’t stop laughing!

  39. Cel says:

    I’m wondering if this pic was shared to give proof that neither if them have ever given anything other than a platonic kiss. They tried to make it look sexy but, umm, no.

  40. Elle says:

    Quick! Someone slip her some birth control so she can actually enjoy sex for a little bit.

  41. Ennie says:

    They need classes from the pros in sexy chaste kisses.
