Kissing

[Erik Mesoy]

My girlfriend and I press other body parts together quite frequently.

Youre naughty

Now I really feel neglected.

There are a great many ways of kissing. It's a wonderful pasttime and expression. Here are just some...

The Sutra of kissing

Kissing is the first step a couple takes toward a sexually active relationship. It is a vital part of any couples time together, and if not enjoyed by both partners, can bring a quick end to any relationship.

The Kama Sutra describes many kisses. By recognising these moments in your relationship, you can help fine-tune them for maximum enjoyment from both you and your partner.

Kissing is also an essential part of foreplay, and cannot be overlooked when preparing for intercourse. Kissing also plays a role during intercourse, and aside from actual penetration, is one of the most personal and affectionate acts between a couple.

Bent kiss
“When the heads of the two lovers are bent toward each other, and when so bent, kissing takes place, it is called the bent kiss.” This is perhaps the most popular of kisses.

The turned kiss
When one of the lovers turns up the face of the other (often by holding the chin), it is called the turned kiss. This is a more personalised kiss, as it shows the intent of the kisser, who lifts is or hers partner’s chin.

The straight kiss
“When the lips of the two lovers are brought directly to each other, it is called a straight kiss.”

Clasping kiss
“When either the man or the woman takes both the lips of the other between his or her own, it is called the clasping kiss. A woman only takes this kind of kiss from a man with no moustache.” Though an odd kiss, it can be considered something different.

Fighting for the tongue
“If, during the practice of a kiss, one of them touches the teeth, the tongue and the palate of the other with his or her tongue, it is called the fighting of the tongue.” Most people will be able to recognise this kiss, as it is an extremely passionate kiss that can happen during heated sex or foreplay. A must to increase the intensity of a sexual encounter.

The kiss that kindles love
“When a woman looks at the face of her lover while he is asleep and kisses it to show her intention or desire to make love, it is called the kiss that kindles love.”

The kiss that turns way
“When one lover kisses the other while that lover is engaged in business or while he is looking at something else, so that his or her mind may be turned away, it is called the kiss that turns away.”

It is always a good idea to show your partner randomly during the day. An unexpected kiss is great for nurturing a relationship.

From blind worm-like creatures groping for food with their mouths, all the way to The Kiss that Kindles Love, its been a wild ride!

Heres a good one for Valenslimes Day. The pressing of lips against lips, or lips against cheeks (facial cheeks wiseguys). Why do humans display affection or attraction that way? Why not pressing elbows together, or some other body parts? Any theories?

Humans do show attraction to each other in many ways other than kissing. Obviosuly sex, but general touching and of course how they look at each other and 'flirt'.

I guess kissing is the 'best' way to show it physically in a way that is both pleasurable and pratical.

 

[Bozo Erectus]

And you can do it in public too.

That was partly what I meant by being pratical

Lips are more sensitive than elbows.

 

[BCLG100]

its fairly intimate way of showing affection towards one and other.

Maybe its a trust thing. When a face gets that close its either a kiss (good) or some zombie chewing off your face (bad).

 

[Tank_Guy#3]

It MAY lead to certain other activities .

Humans thrive on stimulation (i.e. touch, smell, sight, taste, sound, etc. and yes that kind if you have to have your mind in the gutter) and this is generally a way of acquiring this and showing your affection.

 

[Taliesin]

"'the invasive Europeans brought the kissing custom to China, but it is regarded as a vulgar practice which is all too suggestive of cannibalism.'"

How often is this certain book read in your house?

 

[stormbind]

As a person who's had cats for most of his life, Ive observed how they greet each other by sniffing each others snouts. Almost like theyre saying "Eat anything interesting lately?" Maybe thats how it started among humans?

I love this explanation, Bozo!

 

[stormbind]

And you can do it in public too.

Only in some jurisdictions. I think it's an arrestable offence where Islamic law dominates.

Oddly, I think, in the UK there are technically no longer any arrestable offences

Animal kissing

 

[Bluemofia]

Well, I guess it came to be because of the multitude of nerve endings there, and it was pleasurable to be stimulated. (and not embarasing at the same time)

 

[GermanRuler]

i think what Lozzy said makes since, we don't really use our mouth for any thing else beside talking and eating (and if was something else like elbows or arms, think about bumbing into people on the street or depends on who you bumb into)

 

[Quentin]

I like what skadistic said.

 

[conquer_dude]

I kissed alot today. I guess we just do it because thats the way we do it.
