Let's talk about kissing.
Have you ever wondered why we kiss each other? Whether it's a quick peck on the cheek of a friend or a deep-arousing kiss that's a lead up to something hot, we all kiss.
Though I'm an expert on kissing (ehm.. 
) I'm also curious to know why.
I read an article about kiss that the custom of humans kissing probably derived from primitive times, with food being transferred from the mother's to her baby's mouths (tell me if I'm wrong, but this is one of the technique to get "HOT" 
)
The article also told us that sometime during the sixth century, the acceptance of kissing between adults became obvious in France, where figure dancing was the fashion and each dance was sealed with a kiss! This led to kissing becoming accepted as a way of adults to express their affection in courthsip.
And it was in Russia that the kiss was first incorporated into the marriage ceremony, where the couples promises to one another were sealed with a kiss.
The Romans kissed to greet one another, and one Roman emperor ranked a person's importance by the body part he was allowed to kiss. Those importance were allowed to kiss his face, lesser nobles were allowed to kiss his hands, and others were to kiss his feet (what about his lips??).
In Europe, the British are probably those who have held back most when it comes to kissing. Southern Europeans were kissing friends publicly long before the British considered the idea.
Today women also find it natural to kiss a good friend on the cheek, as a way of showing that we feel a close relationship to them. But men are still reluctant to kiss a member of the same sex. Even if he is his best friend.
By the way, kissing makes me feel good and leaves me with a positive attitude to life, and the most important is..it's healthy. So, shall we kiss?
