If discussions of kissing almost always lead back to sexuality, it is no accident, for the mouth is a potent vehicle of desire, even if what it is seeking is not always obvious. Naturally it represents appetite, in the sense of being the organ that ingests food, but it is more complicated than that. In the language of romance, kisses are often hungry or greedy, as though one person usually the man is intent on devouring the other.

Kissing as a form of insatiable hunger is the theme of Roman writer Catullus's famous poem, in which he demands hundreds, then thousands, of kisses from his lover. The image becomes positively cannibalistic in Under The Jaguar Sun, where Italo Calvino's lovers kiss with the intensity of "serpents concentrated in the ecstasy of swallowing each other in turn".

These are potent images, confusing and conflating two pleasures, sex and eating, in a way that supports Freud's characterisation of kissing as an unconscious repetition of infantile delight in feeding. In infancy, the flow is one-way, which is a significant difference between a child ingesting milk and two adults kissing; it may explain not only the intensity of the adult experience, but the unconscious fears that seem to accompany it.

It is clearly right to view the mouth-on-mouth kiss not just as a preliminary to genital sex but as an erotic end in itself. If it wasn't, people would not have expended so much energy on banning it in public places, setting limits to how it could be shown in movies, painting it on Greek vases and writing poems about it.

However, If kissing is just substitute for suckling a breast, why do we not just suckle each others breast to show our loving appreciation of one another?

    The most familiar example of this is probably the Eskimo nose-rub. But across the world there are or perhaps I should write: African and Asian peoples found the activity disgusting.

    Kissing and biology But perhaps that swapping of saliva is actually the point. There are other species on our planet that engage in kiss-like behaviour, but -perhaps with the exception of Bonobo apes — this is mostly a bit of nuzzling or giving each other a peck on the cheek. Perhaps the jungle girl sets us on the right track by stating that we have lips mouths to feed. Several animal species, birds and insects, bring their potential mate food often pre-chewed as a way of courtship.

    Why do we kiss?

    But this behaviour is found mainly in males, not females. Kissing and genetics Back to the saliva swapping. Our saliva is full of chemical that provide all sorts of information about our genetic make-up. And studies have shown that when choosing a mate, us humans tend to select someone who has complementary immune-system genes MHC genes to ours.

    This makes sense, since your offspring would have the benefit of a much wider defense against, for example, disease.

    If you have ever read about these MHC genes you might also know that these genes also largely influence your smell.
