It is the act of touching your lips to another person's lips. In the past, kissing was used in various ways and with infinite meanings. In the Middle Ages, kissing on the mouth represented a kind of contract between the feudal lord and the vassal (meaning “I give my word”). It wasn't until the 17th century that men ended the habit of kissing a person of the same sex, with no affection involved. The kiss is present in all religions.
Curiosities:
- During kissing you move 29 muscles, 17 of which are from the tongue.
- The heartbeat accelerates, ranging from 60 to 150, doing a kind of exercise for the heart.

Danger:
If you are that kind of person who is adept at “staying” (grabs one or more people in one day), you run the risk of acquiring certain diseases, among them the best known is gingivitis. So, be careful and choose your mouth well before kissing.
