Kisses are one of the intimate acts of love that awaken emotions and desires. They can be a form of admiration, care, or an opening for sexual intimacy.
Why do people kiss?
According to a sex expert, ‘Kissing allows humans to be in close proximity and may help in mate selection.’ In some cases, it also helps to strengthen bonds and build intimacy. They are one of the most intimate modes of communication, a way to spice things up without using words from the giver to the receiver.
Although a kiss can relate to people in different ways, there are some that are set in stone that resonate with everyone. In this article, we find out what each of these kisses means.
The Types Of Kisses
Cheek Kisses
This is commonly seen as a way of greeting family, friends, or relatives; it could be as casual as handshakes or hugs. It also depends on who is giving the kiss; if it’s a crush, then it’s definitely a way to say, ‘Hey, I like you.’
Forehead Kisses
As a huge fan of rom-coms, this is commonly seen when there is a need for reassurance, safety, and adoration. A kiss on the forehead means ‘I adore you’ and ‘I got you’. It communicates safety and support.
Hand Kisses
The first thing that comes to mind is movies that feature royalties. This kiss is mostly used to show respect and admiration. Picture the prince charming seeing his beau, and after introduction, he kisses her hand. That’s how to know he has been smitten by her.
Neck Kisses
When Michael Jackson was talking about ‘wanna be starting something,’ he probably was thinking about this. This is a very clear communication about sexual intentions.
Although silent, it screams deep passion. Sometimes it can be a nibble or a slight graze of the lips on the neck.
French Kisses
A kiss like this stems from a place of deep passion; it doesn’t just have to do with the lips but also the tongue. Done with strong emotions, it is usually shared by people who are in love or deeply attracted to one another.
Nose Kisses
A pure and cute gesture; it is the kind of kiss that comes before ‘aww, you’re so cute.’ It is the kiss that communicates how cute a person is to you. It can be done to babies or puppies. It could be done from the lips to the nose or just from nose to nose.
Earlobe Kisses
Just like the kiss on the neck, this is intimate and sensual and is known for setting the mood for sexual activities. It is mostly known as a means of sexual arousal. This gentle, sensual kiss is most definitely an erotic gesture. It sends a strong message of attraction, desire, and affection.
Shoulder kisses
This kind of kiss means different things based on the moment they are done. It could be used as a sultry invitation into a makeout session or could be done when cuddling, depending on the cuddling position.
In Conclusion,
A kiss is a beautiful form of intimacy and communication, and like the normal way of communicating, understanding is required. It differs based on individual experiences, cultures, and lifestyles, and it holds different significance for different people.
