Matthew,

I'd always heard that the kiss started as a way of sharing salt,
a precious, life requiring mineral.

The premise being that the kisser would lick the lips of the
kissee, then the lips being so filled with nerves, they
just started brushing and then well, one thing led to another and
kissing found it's way into our social structure...

take care,
jim
