A summary on the importance of kissing: the kissing scale
[FONT=&][/FONT][FONT=&]As the initiator of this thread, I am compelled to offer a summary of the interesting interventions on the subject. If anything is now clear, it is that kissing is no simple matter. It is not a “Yes” or “No” subject. The definition of kissing itself is subject of debate. At the risk of generalizability and in good humor, I would like to suggest the “kissing scale” (you can call it the Foodie scale if you want) in an effort to categorize your kissing status. The scale allows for a multitude of layers where your kissing status can fit. [/FONT]

[FONT=&]On the extreme left of the kissing scale you have the “not kissing whatsoever” persons. Those that do not care about and do not want to kiss. Using the primary colors, the extreme leftists belong to the blue party (blue for cold lips). [/FONT]

[FONT=&]On the extreme right of the kissing scale you have the passionate kissers, the “Kissing is everything” persons. To them, kissing on the mouth is more important than genital sex. They will not see someone that does not kiss. The extreme rightists belong to the red party (you guessed it, red for hot lips).[/FONT]
[FONT=&]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]In the center of the kissing scale you have the ethical kissers, the “I keep kissing for my personal life” persons. They reserve their best kissing for the special person(s) in their lives. The centrists belong to the green party (green ethical lips).[/FONT]

[/FONT]
[FONT=&]So, akin to politics, you can slide on that scale and determine you own party, your own color. Form the interventions in the thread my impression is that the majority would be center-right, like myself. Those are persons that enjoy kissing and believe it is an important part of intimacy, in or out of personal life relationships.[/FONT]

[FONT=&]During your lifetime and across generations your allegiance from one party to another will of course change. Actually, you can go from one en of the scale to the other during a single encounter![/FONT]
