Informative HISTORY OF KISS

[satz]

A big question is whether kissing is learned or instinctual. Some say it is a learned behavior, dating back to the days of our early human ancestors. Back then, mothers may have chewed food and passed it from their mouths into those of their toothless infants. Even after babies cut their teeth, mothers would continue to press their lips against their toddlers' cheeks to comfort them. Supporting the idea that kissing is learned rather than instinctual is the fact that not all humans kiss. Certain tribes around the world just don't make out, anthropologists say. While 90 percent of humans actually do kiss, 10 percent have no idea what they're missing.



Few believe kissing is indeed an instinctive behavior, and cite animals' kissing-like behaviors as proof. While most animals rub noses with each other as a gesture of affection, others like to pucker up just like humans. Few animals, they do it to make up after fights, to comfort each other, to develop social bonds, and sometimes for no clear reason at all — just like us. SO KEEP KISSING

While the true origin of kissing remains a mystery, historians have found in India the earliest references to the practice.

Four major texts in the Vedic Sanskrit literature suggest an early form of kissing. Dating from 1500 B.C., they describe the custom of rubbing and pressing noses together.

"Eventually, someone slipped and found that the lips were very sensitive and found it pleasurable. That's one theory on how it started," Bryant said.

About 500 years later, the epic poem Mahabharata contained references of lip kissing.

"She set her mouth to my mouth and made a noise and that produced pleasure in me," it said.

The historic reference continues with the Kama Sutra, a classic text on erotica written during the early fifth century A.D, where descriptions of kissing techniques abound.

Around 326 B.C., kissing began spreading from India, thanks to the conquering armies of Alexander the Great. "They learned about kissing from the Indians.
