I love a really good kiss but seriously, who were the first people to try this?
"Hey I like you" "I like you too" "Let's lick the inside of each other's mouths to express our love" "Yeah that's not weird. Let's do that"
We aren't the only species that kiss "squirrels, puffins, snails, cows, elephants, and many other species tend to pucker up with their partners or other close connections within their clan or family. Chimpanzees and bonobo monkeys (our closest extant relatives in the animal kingdom), as well as many other primate species, also engage in kissing with their partners. Given our close evolutionary link to those two species, it comes as no surprise that humans do the same thing."
Just a very friendly saliva test to check hormone levels and genetic immunities.
Also, its usually fun and often a lot more.
I have no idea how kissing started, but here are some old silent film clips of people kissing:
In case we had forgotten. Thank you.
Mustaches, baby! Yippee!
no, it started with thin intestines which coincidently led to spaghetti too. I think they were called caveboy and the tramp.
Parents (probably more often mothers) pre-chewing their infants' food and passing it to them via mouth, a la baby birds. Viola!
At least it wasn't...nope...not gonna...
Sacha,kissing is much more enjoyable than nose rubbing lol.
100% agree with you there! lol... but then again that may depend where ones nose is rubbing? tehehhe
@Sacha True... I got a big nose and couldn't hide it with dark glasses.
@GipsyOfNewSpain LOL
Yuck, to me that's not a good kiss, but I see where you are going with this.
Maybe the question was, what's the definition of a good kiss for you ?
You sound like a comedian. Maybe the eskimos have it right - they just rub noses. But I hear you can get snyphlis from that...
That is the traditional Maori way of greeting too, touching noses. Its called a Hongi [tripsavvy.com] Though kissing is still kissing lol
@Sacha Oh No... Do not tell me their foreheads are touching.
Maybe I'm an eskimo after all. Never really warmed to the concept of kissing. Not saying I NEVER liked it ... but could do without. Am doing without, happy to stay that way.
It appears no one got the "snyphilis" joke...
