Why is kissing in North America taboo? Unless amongst lovers. So many of my friends kiss one another...nothing sexual...nothing long...but what we like to call "mom kisses". I love the idea of it. It is frowned upon, for males in particular, to give friendly "pecks". I do not know how it began amongst my friends, but after having kissed almost all of them, I stopped caring. We are so in love with one another, in the same way that you love your family. I kiss my parents and grandparents, so why not kiss my friends. It may be strange to many people, but so are a lot of other things we do, so I don't think I care. And if it bothers anyone, they should just look to the countless other cultures in the world who use kisses like we do handshakes. For goodness sakes, even Jesus is recorded as having kissed his male friends as a welcome or goodbye. I hope we never stop, it's tradition we have created which I want to last forever. How wonderful to have people that when you need it most will let you cuddle them, hug them, kiss them, and sometimes when we get hyper--bite them. It is comforting to have people in your life who you can be 100% comfortable with, while knowing everyone is aware of appropriate boundaries.I love you guys.
