A kiss (from Old English cyssan "to kiss," in turn from coss "a kiss," perhaps onomatopoeic) is the touching of the lips. The study of kissing is called philematology.

Kissing is a learned behavior[citation needed], related to the grooming behavior seen between other animals. Many non-human primates also exhibit kissing behavior.[citation needed].

A French kiss, tongue kiss, pash ,deep kiss or neck is a romantic or sexual kiss in which one participant's tongue touches the other's tongue (or lips) and usually enters his/her mouth.

Although family members may sometimes kiss on the lips, a kiss using the tongue almost always indicates a romantic or sexual relationship. French kissing stimulates the lips, tongue and mouth, which are all areas very sensitive to touch. It is considered by many to be both very pleasurable and highly intimate. Unlike other forms of "casual" kissing (such as brief kisses of greeting or friendship), episodes of French kissing will often be prolonged, intense, and passionate. It may signal the beginning of a period of "making out" or sexual intercourse. Because of the intimacy associated with it, in many regions of the world tongue kissing in public is not acceptable to most, particularly for an extended time.[citation needed]

In a tongue kiss participants may exchange saliva, which would often be considered disgusting in other contexts, but which may add to the passion and excitement of the sexual kiss. Although most sexually transmitted diseases are not transmitted by kissing, the exchange of saliva in a French kiss may increase the chances of catching an orally transmitted disease.[citation needed] Infectious Mononucleosis (American: Mononucleosis or, colloquially, "mono"; European: Glandular Fever), a disease spread through saliva, is often colloquially referred to as "the kissing disease."

A French Kiss is often used by lovers to express their intimate feeling toward each other and often precedes sexual intercourse (and frequently continues during sex).[citation needed]

French kissing has been traditionally associated with Western societies, but is now becoming quite popular around the world.[citation needed]

According to contemporary Hindu religious beliefs, a French kiss can break a "Fast" since it involves exchange of saliva.

Kissing as affection

In modern Western culture, kissing is most commonly an expression of affection.

Between people of close acquaintance, a kiss, often reciprocal, is offered as a greeting or farewell. This kind of kiss is typically made by brief contact of puckered lips to the skin of the cheek or no contact at all, and merely performed in the air near the cheek with the cheeks touching. Such kissing is a common greeting in European and Latin American countries between a man and a woman or between two women but also by two men in part of the Middle East[citation needed] and parts of Europe and Latin America. People sometimes kiss children to comfort them or show affection, and vice versa.

As an expression of romantic affection or sexual desire, kissing involves at least and is generally limited to a quantity of two people kissing one another on the lips, usually with much more intensity, and for a considerably longer period of time. In more passionate kissing couples may open their mouths, suck on each other's lips, or move their tongues into each others' mouths (see French kissing). Sexual kissing may also involve one person kissing another on various parts of the body (see Foreplay).

In romantic and sexual kissing, the physical sensations are often of primary importance. One might find it stimulating if their partner moved their tongue in small circles against their own, or bite the lips gently.

[edit]
Kissing as symbolism

A symbolic kiss

When not an expression of affection, a kiss is a largely symbolic gesture in that the purpose of the kiss is to convey a meaning, such as salutations or subordination, rather than to experience the physical sensations associated with kissing. Kisses on the cheek as salutations are traditional in many parts of continental Europe, and the number of kisses, alternating cheeks, depends on which region one comes from.

Kissing may also be used to signify reverence and subordination, as in kissing the ring of a queen or other figure. A kiss can also be rude or done for the sake of irritating or proving one's superiority. A rude kiss or a kiss with a smack is referred to, in the United States of America, as a buss.[citation needed]

A more ominous use of the kiss is as a symbol of condemnation as may be observed when a crime lord kisses an underling, in effect imposing a death sentence upon that person, the ultimate "goodbye kiss" or the "kiss of death". Indeed, Judas is said to have betrayed Jesus with a kiss.

The term Kissing Hands is used to formally describe the appointment of the senior state figures to office by British monarchs. Though in the past, the monarch's hand was actually kissed, this is no longer so. When figures such as the British Prime Minister, cabinet members and diplomatics are formally appointed, they are said to have Kissed Hands. (Kissing the hand is still practised as a romantic flourish, especially in Latin countries.)

In the Eastern Orthodox Church, kissing is a sign of veneration or respect. People kiss icons to show their veneration to the person depicted in the icon. When a layman meets a priest, he holds out his hands and says "Father, bless". The priest will then bless him and hold out his hand for the layman to kiss. During the Divine Liturgy, the congregants come to the front of the church to kiss the Book of the Gospels and the blessing Cross at various parts of the service (after kissing these the congregants also kiss the priest's hand). Congregants also kiss the chalice and the priest's hand after receiving Holy Communion, to show their respect to the Body and Blood of Christ.

In internet and IRC chat, kiss is expressed by the characters xx or the :-* smiley.

When someone has done something magnificent for another person, that person may sometimes say, "I could just Kiss you!" because of their gratefulness, and not actually do it or in some cases do it. This is commonly done to express complete gratefulness among friends who are either same sex or moderately close friends to one another.

[edit]
Other uses

The term is also used for expressions of affection that do not involve the lips. The "Eskimo kiss" is executed by the two individuals gently rubbing the tips of their noses together. In the Māori culture of New Zealand people greet each other by pressing noses together; this gesture is called a hongi. A "butterfly kiss" consists of two people putting their eyes close to each other and fluttering their eyelashes upon one another's. A caterpillar kiss consists of two people rubbing their eyebrows together. Caterpillar kisses often give way to butterfly kisses. 90 degree right angle kissing involves the couple kissing while at right angles to each other. Hand kissing involves making out with hands.

The kiss does not exist in all cultures, as certain societies find it repugnant.[citation needed]In Burmese Days, George Orwell notes that the Burmese do not kiss at all, and have no word for the practice.

A kiss can be "blown" using actions of the hand and the mouth. This is used to convey affection usually while parting, when the partners are physically distant but can view each other. Blown kisses are also used when a popular person wishes to convey affection to a large crowd or audience.

[edit]
Asymmetry in kissing

In order to avoid a clash of noses while kissing, couples often turn their faces slightly to one side, thereby orienting their heads at an angle with respect to each other. To make this position more comfortable, one member of the couple may support the other, perhaps across the lap or in an embrace—thus combining hugging with kissing. The person supporting the other may tend to take the more active role in the kiss. Writing in Nature, psychologist Onur Güntürkün observed couples kissing in public places such as airports and parks; his research demonstrated that by a 2:1 ratio the direction of turn is more frequently to the right than to the left. Güntürkün ascribed this asymmetry to a neonatal right-side preference [1].

The anatomy of kissing

Kissing is a complex behaviour that requires significant muscular coordination; in fact, a total of twenty muscles working cooperatively. The most important muscle involved is the orbicularis oris muscle, which is used to pucker the lips and informally known as the kissing muscle. The tongue can also be an important part of the kiss.

Screen kiss

A screen kiss is one portrayed in a film (the equivalent act in a play is known as a stage kiss). The plot of a film or play may involve characters falling in love with each other, but the actors playing this role might not have any personal relationship with each other whatsoever. Because sharing a kiss is a private, emotive experience for many people, actors often report kissing to be one of the most difficult aspects of their profession, in that it requires them to convey the feeling of passion and love when none is present. Young actors and actresses in particular may find screen kisses embarrassing and require time to accustom themselves to the task at hand.

The 1896 short film The Kiss featured the first known screen kiss, a forty-seven second recreation of a stage kiss from the musical The Widow Jones. The movie was considered scandalous at the time of its release but has since entered film history as one of the most memorable early films. The longest onscreen kiss was performed by Gregory Smith and Stephanie Sherrin in the 2005 film Kids in America and lasted "just over six minutes."[citation needed]
