Kissing
Why Do We Do It?
by Sharon Jacobsen

Imagine curling up on a soft rug in front of a cracking fire with your partner. There's nothing more natural than to have warm kiss and cuddle is there? But 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.

I'm no expert on kissing, but like the rest of you, I do it, and I enjoy it. And I was curious to know why.

It seems that the custom of humans kissing probably derived from primitive times, with food being transferred from the mother's to her baby's mouths. This lip contact developed into a way for mothers to show affection for their children, in much the same way as mothers do today. Somewhere along the line, this further developed and became a way for adults to show intimacy.

Later, 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 courtship.

The Russian nobility loved to copy the French, and therefore kissing soon caught on in Russia too. 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.

Kissing is a way in which humans show respect. 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 of importance were allowed to kiss his face, lesser nobles were allowed to kiss his hands, and others were to kiss his feet. The Romans had different levels of kisses too, much like we do today, with the deep (or French) kiss being the most intimate.

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. However, 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 him or her. Men are still reluctant to kiss a member of the same sex.

Kissing makes us feel good, and because kissing leaves us with a positive attitude to life, it's actually healthy for us. So to live long and remain happy.... get those lips working!
