Hi there.
Well, just to answer to Jack, I just wanted to tell him I never EVER heard French people talking about "English kissing"... But anyway, he's right for a lot of other expressions...
In France we never say "we French kissed", but only "we kissed".
There's a lot of slang to say "French kissing" such as "emballer" (lit. to wrap) and "rouler une pelle" (lit. to roll a shovel!!) - ok no sense in English...
It depends on your age, but after the age of... let's say 12, you don't use the term "to kiss" to mean something else than "French kiss". Not French kissing after something like 16 sounds a bit ridiculous.
It reminds me of this French girl I went out with one night. She has been living in the US for a long time. When I kissed her, I naturally started to French kiss her but couldn't find her tongue! That was incredible and then realized she probably never French kissed with American guys... Not sure of that but it was amazing (btw the girl was 22).
Anyway, just to conclude, not French kissing is not kissing for me, and won't be said as so in France : we'll rather use ridiculous terms such as "faire un smack", ("to smack" refering to the sound it does)...
Hope that helps!

Hi
I'm currently working on a travel documentary about kissing entitled "kisses on platform 2". It is a documentary about human essence when it explores all the different cultures and traditions in relation to actions of affection especially kissing.
And in my travel, i'm visiting France.
Currently i'm working on my research about the French people and the French kissing.. maybe some French men and ladies might want to share some ideas.. thoughts.. opinions.. what is it with French kissing?

There's always been a strange relationship between the English and the French. Anything different is always ascribed to the other country. In England, it's called "French Kissing;" but in France it's called "English Kissing."
The disease siphylus was known in France as the "English Disease," while in England it was called the "French Disease."
Go figure. Nobody knows where it originated. Truth to tell, it's probably been around as long as people have been kissing.
Cheers,mate.

French have a taste for borrowing good things from others and keep the credit to them, ha!
Anyway, it needed a name, right? So why not this one?
