Kissing is known around the world, for it is found among people of all colors, ages, and religions. And different kissing styles abound for lovers’ experimentation. If you love kissing your partner, you will love this day. How about a day full of kisses?
Kiss Your Mate Day is celebrated on April 28 each year. While it is quite difficult to confirm the inventor and where this holiday draws its inspiration from, its purpose is very clear — to be all kissy with one’s partner. The earliest indication of celebration of this holiday dates back to a few years back — approximately less than five years ago. Its recent beginning notwithstanding, people are happy the day is around as it provides an opportunity for lovers, couples, and even friends to smooch one another, and for those far away from their partners, to send special romantic kiss quotes and messages.
Kissing is one of the most romantic and non-verbal ways of demonstrating love to one’s partner. Although it is said to be a recent development in Western cultures, it has been around for a few thousand years back in Asia. The origin of kissing is traced back to the Vedic scriptures of Hinduism and Buddhism. The “Kama Sutra” mentioned it. The kissing tradition did not get to Europe until the time of Alexander the Great — when he conquered parts of Punjab in northern India.
It will interest you to know that kissing — just like eating and drinking —need not be taught. The ability to kiss is inherent in every human and one only needs to be in a situation that warrants doing it. However, as all things are inherent, one may learn to kiss better. This probably might have led to the innovation of different kissing styles, popular among lovers being the ‘French kiss.’ Many people now engage in the kissing habit. Virtually everyone that has once been in an amorous relationship with someone has kissed before. In the United States, kissing is so common among teenagers that one research recorded that over 80% of teenagers have experienced it.
