The concept of the kiss has been defined in multiple ways. Brian, along with much of the male species, says that a kiss is a form of sex. A kiss is a prelude to sex. For many guys any and all physical contact is simply a prelude to sex. Just the other day, I was having an awful day and was in need of a hug. I got my hug, but it was sided with some guy's tongue jammed down my throat.

I tried to explain to Brian why I wanted kissing without sex, but I couldn't make him understand. How could I make him understand, when I myself did not understand. I told him that, for me, kissing was mental, not physical. I said that within a kiss, I felt as if I could understand him better. I said a kiss showed personality. But what is personality? What is understanding? How could I expect Brian to understand, what I did not?

The kiss is like a promise. For example, in marriage, a kiss seals the promise that the groom claims his bride forevermore and the bride claims her groom forever hers. The marriage kiss is not merely a prelude of sex. The purpose of the marriage kiss is not to make a public display of the wedding consummation, but to make a public display of the couples loyalty to each other. A kiss is sacred and should be considered a special occasion. People run around fast paced, making out, so frequently that they do not realize the meaning of a kiss. A kiss is an action expressing words that you can't say. A kiss is like a smile, telling your partner that you are happy to be around them. A kiss shows your wanting to better understand your partner. A kiss shows your promise to love and look after them. A kiss is security, mutual understanding. A kiss should portray love, and love merely is love. There is nothing else like it.
