Why People
Kiss
What happens when a man and a woman kiss?
That is to say, what happens to the various parts of the
body when two people in love join their lips in bliss? Years
ago, before our biologists knew of the existence of the glands
in our bodies, one writer quoted a scientist as saying that
"kissing is pleasant because the teeth, jawbones and lips are
full of nerves, and when the lips meet an electric current is
generated."
What nonsense! What utter nonsense!
In the first place, two people kiss because they are
satisfying a hunger within them, a hunger that is as natural as
the hunger for food, water and knowledge. It is the hunger of
sex that drives them to each other. After that, hunger has been
satiated, then comes the hunger for a home, for children and
for marital happiness. This hunger is instinctive, that is, we
are born with it, all of us, and we cannot learn it or acquire
it in any way.
