but in spanish

Parece que la práctica de besarnos se remonta como muchas
otras a hábitos primitivos en concreto a la transferencia
de alimento de la madre desde su boca a la boca de sus
hijos, como hacen actualmente las aves. Este contacto
primitivo de labios evolucionó hacia una forma para las
madres de mostrar afecto a sus hijos, como de hecho ocurre
en la actualidad. Posteriormente la costumbre se extendió
como muestra de afecto entre las personas.
Durante el siglo VI se extendió en Francia la costumbre de
besarse entre los adultos cuando proliferaban los bailes y
la práctica al uso era sellar el final de cada danza con un
beso. Ello conllevó a que el besarse fuera visto como una
manera de expresarse afecto mutuo en la corte.

La nobleza rusa copió este hábito de la nobleza francesa y
fue en la antigua Rusia donde el beso se incorporó por vez
primera en las celebraciones de boda, donde el beso en sí
sellaba las promesas de los novios.

A lo largo del tiempo el besarse ha sido una forma de
expresar respeto mutuo. Por ejemplo, en la antigua Roma los
romanos se besaban para saludarse mutuamente - de hecho esta
costumbre perdura aún hoy en día -. Los emperadores
romanos reconocían además la importancia de una persona
por la parte del cuerpo que le era permitido besar al
encontrarse con el emperador. Así, a las personas de
relevancia les era permitido besar la cara del emperador; a
los nobles de menos categoría social sus manos y las
personas de más baja categoría social debían besarle los
pies. Los romanos poseían además diferentes "niveles" de
besos, como los tenemos en la actualidad, desde el más
respetuoso hasta el más íntimo

googlized:

"It seems that the practice to kiss to us goes back as many
others to primitive habits in concrete to the transference
of food of the mother from its mouth to the mouth of its
children, since the birds do at the moment. This primitive
contact of lips evolved towards a form for the mothers to
show affection its children, as in fact it happens at the
present time. Later the custom extended as sample of
affection between the people. During the century I SAW
extended in France the custom to kiss itself between the
adults when the dances proliferated and the practice to the
use was to seal the end of each dance with a kiss. It
entailed to that kissing itself went sight as a way to
express mutual affection in the cut. The Russian nobility
copied east habit of the French nobility and was in old
Russia where the kiss was gotten up for the first time in
the wedding celebrations, where the kiss in himself sealed
the promises of the fiancès. Throughout the time kissing
itself has been a form to express mutual respect. For
example, on old Rome the Romans kissed themselves to greet
mutually - in fact this custom lasts still nowadays -. the
Roman emperors recognized in addition the importance to a
person by the part of the body that was allowed him to kiss
when being with the emperor. Thus, to the relevance people
he was allowed them to kiss the face of the emperor; to the
noble of less social category their hands and the people of
more low social category had to kiss the feet to him. The
Romans had in addition different "levels" from kisses, as we
have them at the present time, from most respectful to most
intimate"

An evolutionary psychology student I know says it's
something to do with lips looking like labial lips to
attract a mate. :-!

Ha ha, that's just what I said!

I said I reckon that anyone who subscribes to freudian
theories is a sex-obssessed nut, looking to find sexual
meaning where there isn't any and to rationalise their own
perversion as normal. You may think jet engines look
like phallic symbols, but I can see (and grasp) they're
shaped that way for one reason- aerodynamics.

i dunno. it's not like i dislike it, it just seems nicer to
not use tongue. my last girlfriend wasn't all about it so i
got used to not doing it much unless things were getting
really hott.

i just didn't know if people still called it that. i've
been out of the kissing loop for a while. spending too much
time at the fortress of solitude talking to you guys.
