I imagine that when you French kiss someone, you're both exchanging lose cheek cells (as well as other things). Now, what happens to the DNA found in those cells when it enters the other person?
Note: I'm sorry if anybody finds this question unacceptable, but I'm just curious.

Great question i think! Here's what happens: when any cells of the person you kiss enter your esophageal passage down the stomach, these cells will be treated just like any other food, because that's what the stomach is designed to do, digest food. So, since DNA is full of Nitrogen bases, it would only take the appropriate enzymes to catalyze that. Just for the record, when you eat meats or veggies they all have DNA, haven't you ever wondered what happened to THOSE DNA's ? it's really the same thing. So to recap, if the stomach can digest it (if it has the appropriate enzymes) it will take care of it, otherwise it'll go as a waist by intestinal track or urinal track.
Hope this helps :)

The study of kissing is called Philematology.
Kissing is a complex behaviour that requires significant coordination. It takes a total of twenty muscles working cooperatively to kiss. The most important muscle involved is the orbicularis oris muscle; it is used to pucker the lips and informally known as the kissing muscle. The tongue can also be an important part of the kiss.
The long answer is that it is tied up in pheromones. When we are close to another's face we get an olfactory cocktail that tells us a lot about each other. Women sniff out signals to tell if a man has the proper diversity of immunology to create a good child. (just as well as you pass on around 250 colonies of bacteria with every smooch) Men pick up on similar signals of fertility and strength, (and how expensive her perfume is) to help decide if she is the one for him.

Your body has an immunity defense system, when anything enters your body, depending on your health, your body's immune system identifies and marks foreign objects that are coming in your system, these substances can be helpful such as food or water and new blood from a blood transfusion or harmful such as bacteria, viruses or prions. Your immune system marks the organisms that are identified as helpful or a hinderance and your bodies' defenses either breakdown (for example food), destroy, or inactivate these organisms. This is a very general explanation and shouldn't be taken as medical fact or advise. To study this you must study Biology, specifically cell biology and biochemistry. This will identify details about your cells, immunity, chemical reactions, DNA, enzymes, and amino acids in your body.

Saliva is a great antiseptic.That apart people have been kissing each other may be for thousands of years.I have not come accross any case study or medical report so far on adverse affects.I am also not aware of any adverse affects due to DNA exchange.

You know, I've never really thought about it. I suspect it gets taken care of by the acids in your mouth - the compounds in your saliva is the first "line of defense" so to speak & once it begins to break down it would then be absorbed into your system. Since I love my boyfriend very much, I'm gonna tell him tonight we've got each others' dna all over us!! lol As if that matters!!

It is digested, just like the DNA in all the plant and animal tissue you eat.

pretty much the same thing what happens to any other things you eat that contain DNA, it enters into the digestive system.. mouth, stomach and ... you know ...
it doesn't affect your dna or anything

not a dam* thing, DNA doens't do anything in someone else's body, less its a gamete cell

its broken down in the protective tissues and aicds in the digestive tract.
