History of Kissing

History of Kissing. Swapping spit consumes about 336 hours of the average person's life.
Being the average person is lucky. I'm abnormal. It sucks.

That only means about six cumulative years of kissing only one hour per week. Isn't that low? I think that just in my teens and my twenties, I took care of that easily, and I hardly had the girls standing in line. Maybe this statistic reflects a global balance between people of more kissishly liberal and kissishly conservative cultures.

Now that I'm about to get divorced, my suspicion that I have an awful lot of catching up to do is confirmed.

Kissing is weird. It's considered practically the basic unit of sexual/romantic activity, and seems on the surface to be natural and instinctual, but it's a learned practice, and all of the explanations for it are creepy :P There are still whole regions that don't do it, in Africa especially.

Some of this text seems too familiar and the rest seems largely unsubstantiated.

I was actually thinking of making a poll to see which kissing direction is preferred in what ratio, but I figured it had already been researched by someone or another.
To me, even just resting my head to the right feels subtly
more comfortable (I'd say it's because I'm right-handed, but really in large part it's the muscles on the opposite side that would control tilting your head) - a fact that I never really realized was something fundamental. I never knew uteruses and infants tilted their head right preferentially, you'd think that'd be more common knowledge.

Have you ever imagined how you would look if the person you were kissing wasn't there? Me neither.
