A new book, 'Kisstory' tells the history  of kissing and reveals that not all smooches are romantic. For instance,  in Naples in 1562 kissing publicly was punishable by death. The word  "kiss" comes from the Germanic word kussjan, probably because of the  sounds it makes.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span> <div style="width: 10px; float: left;"> </div>  <div class="stryimg"><img align="left" alt="336 hours of kissing in a lifetime" border="0" height="308" src="http://www.indiatimes.com/photo/7305643.cms" title="336 hours of kissing in a lifetime" width="340" /></div>  <h3>336 hours of kissing in a lifetime<span class="stryimgsep"></span></h3><span>In  a lifetime, the average person spends around 336 hours kissing –  equivalent to a fortnight-long snug, reports the Sun. What we term a  French kiss is known as an English kiss in India. As kisses weren't  shown in Indian cinema for many years, the first open-mouthed smooch  they saw was in a little-known English-language film in 1926. </span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="innerbox"> <div style="width: 10px; float: left;"> </div> <div class="storybox"> <div class="stryimg"><img align="left" alt="First all-male kiss" border="0" height="308" src="http://www.indiatimes.com/photo/7305642.cms" title="First all-male kiss" width="340" /></div> <div class="strytext"> <h3>First all-male kiss<span class="stryimgsep"></span></h3><span>Meanwhile  the French describe tongue-kissing as "rouler une pelle" - "to roll a  shovel" – or "rouler un patin" – "to skate". The 2005 film Brokeback  Mountain drew a lot of attention for depicting a sexual relationship  between men, but the first all-male kiss in a film came almost 80 years  earlier, in the 1927 movie Wings.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span> <div class="innerbox"> <div style="width: 10px; float: left;"> </div> <div class="storybox"> <div class="stryimg"><img align="left" alt="Longest-ever kiss" border="0" height="308" src="http://www.indiatimes.com/photo/7305639.cms" title="Longest-ever kiss" width="340" /></div> <div class="strytext"> <h3>Longest-ever kiss<span class="stryimgsep"></span></h3><span>However,  the first openly gay big-screen kiss came even earlier – as the 1922  movie Manslaughter included two lesbians snogging. The most kisses seen  in a film was 191 – Don Juan, in 1926 – while the longest-ever kiss  lasted a breathtaking (and strength-sapping) 31 hours and 30 minutes.</span></div></div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="width: 10px; float: left;"> </div>  <div class="stryimg"><img align="left" alt="Wolfram kissed 8,001 people in 8 hours" border="0" height="308" src="http://www.indiatimes.com/photo/7305637.cms" title="Wolfram kissed 8,001 people in 8 hours" width="340" /></div>  <h3>Wolfram kissed 8,001 people in 8 hours<span class="stryimgsep"></span></h3><span>In  1990, Alfred Wolfram kissed 8,001 people in eight hours during a  festival in Minnesota – an average of 16 people per minute. But kissers  should beware as a single snog can contain up to 278 types of bacteria,  some of which may carry diseases, while a passionate peck can raise  hormone levels enough to shorten your life by a full minute.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.indiatimes.com/picture-stories/history-of-kissing/Not-all-smooches-are-romantic/photostory/7305649.cms">http://www.indiatimes.com/</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div></div></div>
