Firstly, kissing is not out, and trend stories like this are largely retarded. Teenagers can ‘hug’ and...
Breaking: Kissing May Make You Episcopalian
Looks like handsome priest Alberto Cutié has decided to shuffle off his clerical collar to join the Episcopalian church, after he was caught kissing and grab-assing with a Miami beach babe not unlike one you’d see in a 2 Live Crew video.
From the Miami Herald:
Cutié got into trouble with the Archdiocese of Miami earlier this month when compromising pictures of the 40-year-old cleric were...

WatchEveryone’s favorite song about kissing, Prince’s Kiss.
Prince is kind of touchy when it comes to allowing his videos online (hard to find something embeddable). Here’s the original over at Spike.
Rimbaud 2. A Knowing Girl
In the cigar-brown dining room perfumed with a smell of fruitbowls and shellac, I was wolfing my plate of God knows what Belgian dish. I sprawled in a huge chair, I listened to the clock tock while I ate. Then the kitchen door opened with a bang, the housemaid came in…who knows why…her blouse half-open and her hair wickedly set. She passed her little finger trembling across her cheek,...

Vanessa Hudgens says her first kiss was 'horrible' →
“My first real kiss was, I was 15,” she admits. “Just bad, just bad news. Not good. You don’t know what’s going on, and it’s so awkward, and (yech) just horrible.”
I’ve said before that this is the perfect...

Teemu Selanne Practices Kissing Stanley Cup On...
Ducks are out! So are the Caps (but let’s not talk about that). This is from 2007, but apt.
ANAHEIM—Ducks forward and team scoring leader Teemu Selanne, who has not won a championship in his 16 NHL seasons, has been using his hand to practice kissing the Stanley Cup since his team won the first game of the Finals, sources close to the team report. “He began by hoisting a pretend...
Bad Kissing News →
Oh man, this is the worst news for kissing since swine flu! Or when Heidi and Spencer got married.
open-mouthed “French” kissing increase the risk of acquiring oral infections of human papillomavirus, or HPV, a study shows.
At least we can still have oral sex, right?
“Performing oral sex is not without risks,” Dr. Maura L. Gillison told Reuters Health.
Aw crap.

“Was this article a joke?”
– A letter to the editor of the Tennessean complains about the Virgin Lips story I opened the blog with.
She adds:
…abnormal comes to my mind about abstinence from kissing until marriage. Kisses are as personal and unique as the individual and a wonderful way to share affection.

WatchMTV announced their nominees for best kiss, and there are some good ones. I think I’m voting for Twilight. Though Slumdog Millionaire and High School Musical’s kisses are both followed by kickass music numbers.

Elite Question Their Air Kisses! →
High society’s been scared by swine flu. Some are curbing their cheek kisses.
Some air-kissers out there are wondering if they should be less demonstrative, what with all the warnings from public health officials to wash hands frequently and avoid cheek-to-cheek maneuvers because of the swine flu outbreak.
Some are defending the smooches
Indeed, some are not giving a kiss a second...
Virgin Lips
This is my blog about kissing. To begin, here’s a story about not kissing.
From the Tennessean:
In a culture where casual sex is the norm, some Tennesseans have taken the purity pledge to a whole new level, through a practice that some teens refer to as the “Virgin Lips Movement.”
