Not really, when you think about it. Unless one considers is odd to use the same activity to calm a scared child and to express affection to one’s sexual partner, such activity being the caress.

I’m glad I found this via the book review carnival. You can count me as a newly made fan.

p.s., I’ve always found these things fascinating. I’ve read that the biological reason that men like when women wear red lipstick is because their lips are, in general, proportional to – and representative of – their genitalia.

Thus they paint them red to accentuate certain features. As an evolutionary biologist, whadda ya think? 🙂

But after paedophile paranoid Britain even that was shocking.
Picking up he kids from school (aged between 4 & 10) their frinds would come up to us and stand, faces upturned… What did they want? They were waiting to be kissed.
On the other hand, lip kissing in France is considered very intimate, reserved only between lovers.
